Biohacking Tech

Biohacker Review: What I've learned from +300 HRV sessions...

Having used Heartmath's emWave for a while, I decided to take my optimization of heart rate variability to the next level and got the Inner Balance Bluetooth sensor.

In this review, I'll honestly discuss the pros vs cons, share how I saved nearly 50% on both mindfulness-enhancing devices, compare them to other biohacking tech I've used, and summarize the state-of-the-art science and studies done evaluating Heartmath's HRV technology.

Biohacker Review: I'm photobiomodulated like a boss!

Having heard and read so much about the transformative power of infrared light, I was delighted when the Bulgarian customs office cleared my red light. Switching it on for the first time, I thought, wow that's beautifully brilliant red light! Check out this unboxing video...

A few summers ago we vacationed with another couple who had a Muse Headband which I tried and was not impressed with, frankly. I found it really tricky to properly orient the headband on my crown so it could pick up brainwaves from the four quadrants. The Bluetooth that it uses to connect to my smartphone is also not the most reliable technology. Meditation tech that is difficult to use is meditation tech that doesn't get used. I think that I'd need to get a haircut like every week for the Muse headband sensors to maintain contact with the skin on my head.

Remember the movie Inception? The Remee mask employs cutting-edge technology to enable an Inception-like lucid dreaming state every night. This customizable and comfortable sleeping mask detects when the brain goes into a REM sleeping state and notifies your unconscious mind with subtly flashing red lights that will show up in your dreams. This enables one to become an architect of every aspect of their dreams. With lucid dreaming, you can fly, have a lightsaber battle, drive a race car, travel to the center of the earth, or even make love to your favorite movie star!
