so today I'm about to do something experimental legitimately experimental this thing in front of me is on the fringe it is a new development it looks from a distance like a pair of headphones but really it's doing something it's doing a lot more potentially you've got to look at the studies for yourself this thing is called halo sport and it is a brain stimulating device I'm a little bit nervous about trying it out to be quite honest there's all kinds of trials that have gone on with various athletes from different sports and people are seeing improvement from wearing this headset and training their brain putting their brain in a particular state before the training begins by stimulating a certain part of the brain that is directly connected to motor skills lifting lifting weights building muscle strength and performing particular tasks that go along with a sports now I've been told there is a little weird sensation when you wear it a little tingling it is actually kind of shocking your brain sort of I don't know let's check it out all right so halo sport the company is called halo neuroscience so very nice packaging so far Oh whoo back to refresh some replacement ear cups right and left I like that as a around the ear style big fan of that but these are the magic without these you got nothing now these use moisture you actually spray them with a little bit of water before you use I'm going to use moisture to sort of help them penetrate I guess or notices to build up that interactivity between your brain and the headset itself you just install onto the headband like that so that's what it looks like this is what the headset looks like when you're using it whoa you have this little spray bottle pull these off spray em alright so there's an app to go with it as you'd imagine halo sport uses electrical currents for contact I knew it all right you saw step completely saturate this thing and install them on there here we go I mean they sound like your average set of high-end headphones so they didn't they didn't skimp on that front Jack here's what we do we take them out to the ice rink again okay so I've been wearing this thing around for a little bit one thing I know that these spikes on the top they have to be saturated I went back into the locker room I got them more soaked than they were before and we have immediate conductivity here so you can see you can decrease or increase the amplitude does the amount that you feel you can select which area of your body you're training whether it's your hands and figures with a right emphasis less emphasis or legs corn arms for hockey I think hands and fingers with the right emphasis it's probably best for me and the sessions about to be 20 minutes so this is what it might look like if I was using this to train a particular skill maybe stickhandling passing shooting whatever it might be out here obviously we're not going to see results immediately but the goal here is to go out take out a little bit I'll start the session we'll see what happens we'll see how much I feel it on my head - alright here we go 20 minutes starting now obviously we're not going to key improvements immediately but the goal here is that right now my brain is supposedly in some special state of neuroplasticity so that these movements are more likely to stick after I'm done with this particular workout also keep in mind these are headphones so follow if I needed some music to get more amplified right now and up the workout I could do that too we think that likes to have a little little prove their weight hey huh think your body's like writing information like your brains an SSD or something you'll load me up with the lesson on kick handling or something I don't know if a lot of people were skeptical as well I got to be clear what you got guys like calm calm soup was kept a lot of people talking a big game about these youngsters on the team let me tell you something I got I could teach these youngsters a thing or two you got to bring on the veteran presence uncle Lou's your guy all right hit me up phone lines are open some of you are probably wondering like hey man what did that feel like on your head it's kind of like a pins and needles feeling it's like it's uh if your legs fell asleep or something like that or you don't talk about it's that kind of feeling but at the top of your skull so now the session is complete by the session they're referring to the headset portion so now theoretically I take this off and my mind is in this position it's hyper plasticity position now so I've got an hour here this would be the equivalent to going straight into action now like I'm actually going to whether it's exercise or again who really knows how this technology is going to be used who knows if I'm going to drop dead on my way out was it worth it I hope we brought the heat for you then what we aim to do at the project trust the process
