Mental well-being is crucial for individuals of all ages. Dementia affects around 50 million people globally, with Alzheimer's disease contributing to 60-70% of these cases. Early diagnosis and maintaining cognitive activity can help manage and potentially slow the progression of dementia.
Cognitive training is also beneficial for students, in terms of boosting their brain performance and enhancing their learning capacities.
GF Technovation introduces ExBrain, a cutting-edge product designed to maintain cognitive function and assist with early observation of cognitive decline.
ExBrain, developed by NeU Corporation, is the world’s smallest and lightest brain activity sensor. Invented by Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, a renowned brain specialist and professor at Tohoku University, ExBrain supports visualization of brain activity in specific parts of the brain, allowing users to consciously activate their cognitive functions.
Utilizing near-infrared technology, ExBrain safely measures brain activity in real-time, helping users and therapists optimize cognitive training at different levels. The associated mobile app, Brain Meter, helps users visualize their brain activity while doing drills, quizzes, puzzles or reading books, ensuring more appropriate content customization.
Safe measurement of brain activity: Near-infrared technology used, with no side effects
The ExBrain sensor also offers significant advantages for students. A two-month trial in Japan conducted with 33 students preparing for junior high and high school entrance exams demonstrated ExBrain’s effectiveness. The trial highlighted strategies such as maintaining a conducive lifestyle, warming up the brain before studying and enhancing cognitive functions like short-term memory. Results showed that 82% of students improved their scores, with 27% achieving an increase of 10 or more points in public mock exams.
