Modius Aims to Help People Achieve Leaner Bodies Through Neuroscience With Careable Tech™ Device: Modius Headset

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Modius, the first of its kind revolutionary headset by neurotechnology company, Neurovalens, launches today on Indiegogo with the aim of helping people achieve leaner bodies by reducing body fat through neuroscience. This marks Neurovalens' first step in making a difference for anyone trying to lose and maintain weight loss.

Founded by a team of British doctors and neuroscientists, Paul McGeoch and Jason McKeown, at the University of California San Diego (Center for Brain & Cognition at UCSD), Modius aims to end obesity by sending a signal to the part of the brain that controls fat storage. This naturally causes a shift in your metabolism to burn more fat, resulting in weight loss.

"Modern diets are not serving us well in terms of maintaining a healthy weight, and there is clearly an issue with obesity across the western world," said Co-Founder of Neurovalens, Paul McGeoch. "Weight gain and loss are controlled by your brain, which controls your appetite, your hormones, your metabolic rate, how much fat you store, and more. Our first device to market, Modius, is designed to resolve this issue by activating the epicenter of it all – your hypothalamus. Through advanced technological and neurological research, we've discovered the hypothalamus has a strong effect over people's ability to lose and maintain weight."

How Does It Work:

Modius uses low-power electrical pulses to stimulate the vestibular nerve which runs into the brain from just behind the ear. The stimulation is interpreted by the brain as the body being more physically active. This triggers the brain/hypothalamus to reduce fat storage. It does this using several mechanisms (notated in our studies) which include an increase in fat burning, a decrease in appetite, and activation of metabolic hormones. By stimulating the brain for 45 mins to an hour daily, or every other day, Modius can change a person's overall metabolism and desire for the body to store fat. The device is a safe, non-invasive, FDA general wellness device that has the potential to help millions of people reach their goals of a leaner, healthy body.

"There have been tens of thousands of hours research on cranial stimulation. Our results have been very positive and now is the time to share the product with the rest of the world. Used for just 45 minutes per day for a few months, you will lose body-fat. Used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise the average user should notice a significant difference in body fat percentage. We feel so confident in Modius that anyone who purchases during our initial Indiegogo launch has a money back guarantee if they do not see results," said Co-founder at Neurovalens, Jason McKeown.

About the Indiegogo Campaign:

Neurovalens is launching Modius today on Indiegogo with an initial fundraising goal of $50K. The focus of the campaign is not about raising funds, but about getting the Modius device into the hands of consumers who need and want it, at an attractive entry-level price. Through the Indiegogo campaign, Modius will cost $249 for anyone who makes an advance purchase and will include a money back guarantee if customers don't see results. Following this campaign, Modius will retail for $499. (Add final Indiegogo Link)
