I’m part of a team at Sharper Sense, and we’re developing a non-invasive, wearable patch designed to instantly enhance your senses. Our device uses gentle electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve in the neck to optimize your brain for sensory perception, giving you sharper hearing, vision, and touch.
It’s designed as a disposable, wireless device you’d wear when you need a sensory boost. For example: going to a noisy restaurant with a friend and struggling to hear them over the background noise? Just place the patch on your neck and get an immediate hearing boost.
Our tech is backed by over 10 years of research in both rodents and humans at Columbia and Cornell University. You can check out all our peer-reviewed research here: Science — Sharper Sense.
We’re excited about creating tools that could help biohackers, performance enthusiasts, and anyone looking to push their sensory boundaries. While we’re making progress on our prototype, we’re eager to gather feedback from this knowledgeable community.
Would a device like this interest you? Are there specific sensory enhancements or use cases you’d love to see addressed? Are you overwhelmed by the sheer amount of vagus nerve stimulators on the market?
I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or even skepticism. If you’re extra motivated, I’d be happy to have a quick 15-minute call—just shoot me a DM!
Thanks in advance, and I’m happy to answer any questions about the technology, science, or approach.
