When technology really does break barriers

In order to understand Halo, you first need to understand how movement is learned.

When catching a ball for the first time, you can remember being very clumsy and fumbling the ball quite often.

A signal is sent to the brain to the muscles which are responsible for catching the ball and then performing the activity.

That signal is very weak and so too is the feedback coming back to the brain.

But the important thing to remember here is that with repetition, your brain learns, and that signal gets stronger.

Think of old school internet dial up connect and now think of a fibre line.

Both are performing the same task of transmitting data back and further, but one is superior.

When you are aged between four and 13, your brain has a heightened state of neuroplasticity which means that your brain is ready to learn everything and anything, but in small quantities.

As you get older that neuroplasticity stage becomes less heightened and more focused.

That is why you can learn three languages when you are young, something which is not as easy now.

Halo Sport, which was invented by neuroscientists some 15 years ago and has undergone all the clinical trials for safety, has introduced the first of its kind headset.

Halo sends a small electrical impulse to the motor cortex and places that part of the brain in a state of hyper plasticity, meaning a heightened state of arousal.

While performing your motor movement, e.g. learning to play piano, learning to kick accurately through the posts or learning to hit a golf ball better, skills can be learnt faster because the signals strength that is sent and received is stronger from the primed brain through Neuro activation.

Through repetition and quality skill learning, halo has had some astounding results.

Research done by Haung et al 2019 found that an increase in mean power output in repeated sprint cycling and cognitive out-through trials with a placebo-controlled study by 17%.

An independent researcher documents in Park et al 2019 to have found participants ran 15% longer at 80% VO2 max when received transcranial direct current stimulation with Halo Sport compared to the control group that did not.

If you have ever done a VO2 max test, picture that emoji with you holding your hands on your face. There is no faking a VO2 max test on any level.

This research and many others are opening up the doors to increase human potential and performance.

I will keep you posted on my golf score as I hack my way through a dozen social rounds per year with some driving range sessions.

I card between 96 to 102 on average.

Not great at all, but let’s see in the next few months what happens with my Halo.
