It makes a big difference statistically. In fact, we almost get no benefit at one size fits all stimulation. And we were doing that for about two years and getting no data. And I didn't want to release the product because, you know, I don't want to sell snake oil. If my mother is buying a device that promises a good sleep and it's $400.

that I'm not going to sleep well at night if it's total snake oil. So we just weren't going to release. And then we realized, no, we've got to find a unique stimulation pattern. So what the headband does is not just stimulate, it records. It's an input output device. And we start with a short session where I measure your resting brainwave activity.

And then we do a sort of an AI calculation where we rejig the stimulation for your frequency. In reverse. Yeah, we reverse engineer it. And now we know what to stimulate you at. And then if we see your brainwaves change, even across the 10 minute session, we're constantly adapting it to what we call a staircase method. Very cool. So that's electrical stimulation is one path.

I think I'm now interested in others. The next one is kinesthetic vibration. If you see a parent with a child who's not sleeping well, typically, you know, a grandmother will just pick the child up in their arms and they'll start to do what? Start to rock the child.

You know, if you think about, you know, a manger, rocking the manger, or parents with their child, they'll put them in the car and anything that's repetitive kinesthetic is enough to induce sleep. So they did this great study, Sophie Schwartz at the University of Geneva, It was wonderful borderline S&M. They got a mattress frame and they dangled it on the big chains from the ceiling.

So the bed frame was suspended on these chains. And all of a sudden it feels like, you know, candle wax on the nipples, tie me up, tie me down type stuff. And then what they did was they inserted an arm against the side of the bed frame that had this rotation. And it would rock at a very slow frequency. In fact, it would rock only once every four seconds. It was a really slow rock.

And the reason they were doing that is they were trying to mimic the super slow brainwave frequencies that go up and down maybe just once every second, maybe once every two seconds, ultra slow brain. They were trying to mimic that. And sure enough, by rocking you at this gentle frequency,
