Sold Out: $499 Brain Scanner
Outperforms $30,000 rival, with 500,000 brain records behind its tech
The Atlas 1.0 Pioneer Edition, a wearable brain scanner that measures stress, attention span, and energy, has sold out its first batch of pre-orders. The device, which costs $499, uses brain pattern monitoring to help users optimize and manage their neural workload.
The Atlas 1.0 Pioneer Edition has a battery life of two days between charges and is available for pre-order in the US. A monthly subscription to use the device costs $29.99. The company behind the device, Atlas, has spent six years gathering over 500,000 brain records to build the Atlas 1.0.
In lab tests, the Atlas 1.0 outperformed a $30,000 'research grade' electroencephalography (EEG) monitor. The device is completely non-invasive and sits behind the user's ear, providing feedback on their brain patterns. This allows users to understand when they are most present, stressed, or focused, and make changes to optimize their neural workload.
## Why it matters The Atlas 1.0 Pioneer Edition has the potential to revolutionize the way people understand and manage their brain activity. By providing a map of their own mind, users can identify what brings out the best in them and make changes to improve their mental well-being. With the first batch of pre-orders sold out, the company is promising to release more units soon, making this technology available to a wider audience.
The success of the Atlas 1.0 Pioneer Edition is a significant milestone for the company, which has invested six years in developing the technology. The device's ability to outperform a $30,000 EEG monitor in lab tests is a testament to its accuracy and effectiveness. As the company continues to work on releasing more units, it is likely that the Atlas 1.0 will have a significant impact on the way people understand and manage their brain activity.
