Neuroverse®, Inc. partners with Vanessa Hill’s BrainCraft and YouTubeOriginals to promote the importance of quality sleep as a restorative feature in mental health.This BrainCraft series highlights some of the latest in innovative sleep science and has already reached over 1 million views in its first week,. The contestants in this reality sleep competition experiment with a variety of sleep enhancing techniques and technologies to try to obtain their best night’s sleep.

The Neuroverse® BrainStation® wearable device and mobile application for sleep monitoring are the featured solution for the brain-based calculation of sleep quality. Other aspects of the Neuroverse® BrainStation® mental wellness suite, such as the Alertness Check, are also featured. The Neuroverse® sleep and mental wellness solution integrates neurofeedback with  sleep tracking, mindfulness, meditation , and neurocognitive practice to promote restorative sleep and the development of a mindful state of being. https://www.neuroverseinc.com/

High-quality sleep is a crucial component of overall health and wellness. The CDC has declared sleep deprivation to be a public health epidemic affecting a third of U.S. adults and with links to diseases such as depression, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

“Neuroverse® is happy to partner with Vanessa Hill, a fantastic communicator, and her BrainCraft series during Mental Health Awareness Month to advocate for the importance of sleep as a key component of overall mental health. This awareness is particularly important during this challenging time where the current worldwide pandemic is raising stress and anxiety to extreme levels.  It is paramount to consider every mental health solution that can restore a sense of balance, increase resilience and reduce anxiety”, said Ricardo Gil-da-Costa, Ph.D., Neuroverse®, Inc. founder and C.E.O. 

 “At home” brain monitoring using the Neuroverse®, Inc. wearable Brainstation® system led to the discovery of brain modulations that occur 24 hours before a migraine attack, enabling potential early intervention and improved management of patient’s lives. 

This study, a first of its kind, was published in Cephalalgia, the peer-reviewed journal of the International Headache Society - Brain state monitoring for the future prediction of migraine attacks - and results from a collaboration between the neuroscientists and brain signal processing experts at Neuroverse®, Inc. and clinician and migraine expert, Dr. Isabel Pavão Martins’ team at the University of Lisbon, Portugal.

The identified brain modulations provide a potential means of predicting migraines, allowing for earlier treatment that can result in severity reduction or abortion of the attacks, and for better planning and management of the patient’s lives. This work is being expanded into a larger FDA compliant study that will include feedback to the patient about the likelihood of an impending migraine. Larger studies utilizing this unique technology should allow for both an expansion of predictive capabilities, and for its integration in migraine drug efficacy studies, as well as further foundational studies of migraine physiology.

Migraine was identified as the 3rd most prevalent disability causing disease, affecting approximately 14% of the world population, with over 36 million people suffering in the U.S. alone. “With nearly 1 in 4 households in the U.S. including someone suffering from migraines, we are truly overjoyed to have achieved this milestone result for the potential use of the Brainstation® to enable early detection and intervention, allowing patients and their families real control over their daily lives and the anxiety and overall burden associated with this disease”, said Ricardo Gil-da-Costa, Ph.D., Neuroverse®, Inc. founder and C.E.O.

Neuroverse had the pleasure of participating on the second season of Netflix's Bill Nye Saves the World (S2E3: We Suck at Sleeping). It was so much fun to join the crew and showcase the BrainStation's® EEG sleep tracker. Always into promoting science! Watch the episode now.

"Wearable tech for the brain is getting more specific and so potentially more useful. It's still a pretty out-there category of tech, blurring the lines between health, science and consumer tech but there's some pretty amazing boasts flying around too.

If spending too long on the internet is turning our minds to mush, could wearables to train them up be the answer? And do we have the brainpower to fight the rush towards cyborg territory?" Read more.

Neuroverse is truly excited to once again partner with Victory Hill and Marvel to bring to life the Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N.!

Another example of a basic universal decoder is on display through January 4, 2015, at New York City’s Discovery Times Square, where Marvel’s Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. exhibition gives fans the ability to experience an interactive head-up display similar to Iron Man’s. A three-electrode wireless EEG sensor activates the display when a visitor presses his or her forehead against it. The sensor also helps users navigate the display to watch video clips, play games and see their brain waves in real time, although eye-tracking sensors and software also assist with the navigation. The system was built with redundancy to ensure that it worked reliably for the large crowds visiting the exhibit... Read More

Neuroverse congratulates our close collaborator and advisor Dr. Gregory Light on being awarded the prestigious Sidney R. Baer, Jr. Prize for Innovative and Promising Schizophrenia Research by the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation. 

Dr. Light has been a pioneer in translational research, focused on establishing reliable neurophysiological brain markers of neuropsychiatric disorders and novel ways to structure them into diagnostic and therapeutic solutions. We are extremely proud of our collaborative partnership with Dr. Light, integrating Neuroverse's technology into this research and its applications.
