The headband only does something at the exact moment a tic is about to happen. The rest of the time ??it is just a headband. Your brain stays yours.
The headband reads your brain activity 256 times per second. It learns your unique "tic is coming" brainwave pattern. When it sees that signature, it knows.
Within 50 milliseconds, it delivers a tiny painless electrical pulse to the part of your brain responsible for self-control. It is like giving your "not now" circuit a split-second boost.
The moment the urge passes or the tic is stopped, the pulse stops. The headband goes quiet. No lingering effects. No fog. No withdrawal. You go back to being yourself.
One approach floods your brain. The other targets only what matters.
