Ever dreamed you can just press the button and take control of your sleep. Now you might be able to, with the release of the Elemind neurotech headband (3 349 at Elemind). Straight from your favorite sci-fi, Elemind Headband is a brainwave reading, sound pulse, and pharmaceutical-free sleep aid that helps you drift faster. 

There is a sound. Confused, right. Elemind states that the headband uses "signal processing algorithms and AI" to essentially read brain waves. Built-in sensors recognize brain signals related to arousal and respond with acoustic stimuli that can modulate high-frequency waves to something more soothing. Like noise-cancelling headphones, but think of it for your brain.

At least, I think it's a semi-accurate metaphor, but I'm a bit out of my depth. As a sleep writer I am used to journaling over mind reading headbands and suggesting yoga. But the science behind Elemind takes a strikingly similar approach to your nighttime routine, calms busy thoughts, and sends those "waking" brainwaves off

while it may all sound creepy sci-fi, Elemind has spent five years developing the technology, and clinical trials have shown some impressive results. Some sleepers found to be wearing Elemind, which has results, can help drift up to 74% faster.

Elemind is an expensive sleep technology, with a headband costing33,349 (although this is a cheaper sleep aid than the best mattress of the year). It's currently available for pre-order and is being released sometime this summer - not the future, as you might expect, after 1,000 years.

The Elemind neurotech headband is currently priced atド349. It's expensive, but having a headband can really put a price on reading your mind and letting you sleep. Yes, perhaps, but Elemind is priced as well as other smart sleep devices, including the Somnee Smart Sleep headband,Som299 at Somnee, and some of the best fitness trackers.

As well as the initial price of the headband, there is also an app subscription. The app controls Elemind to some degree, but it's mostly where you compile and access your sleep data. The collected indicators allow you to track the effectiveness of Elemind and further learn more about your sleep.

The annual subscription costs月額6.99 per month, while the monthly subscription costsシ12.99 per month. Order now and you'll get a free 1-year subscription included as a perk of being a beta tester.

Strap this thing to your head and before you let it start monitoring your brain, you probably found out what's going on under the hood of Elemind looks pretty much like any other headband from the outside. The good news is, look like you need to wear Elemind to sleep.

The Elemind headband has a series of EEG (electroencephalogram) sensors on the forehead and behind the ear. These sensors are small, soft, non-destructive, and have a channel hopping feature that ensures that another sensor picks up slack if one sensor stops reading.

To start it, double-tap the action button located at the base of Elemind. At this point the sensor will begin to read your brain signals, monitoring for the perfect moment to release the pulse of sound waves it sends to sleep. Once you drift off the pulse, it gently fades, so you can get up naturally in the morning.

Over time, AI personalization learns your sleep patterns and begins to respond more efficiently, increasing the overall effectiveness of the technology. 

Made of luxurious and flexible fabric, Elemind is designed to be comfortable in any sleeping position, including stomach sleep. These electroencephalogram sensors have a rubber feel that helps secure the band in place, while 3 sets of flexible straps ensure it fits comfortably on your forehead.

The unobstructed headband can also be used on the go. Putting Elemind in front of a red-eye flight doesn't look strange (though your fellow passengers might give you a side eye if you drift while they're still figuring out their seatbelts).

This futuristic technology has a major drawback that it is currently not suitable for deaf people because it uses acoustic stimulation. This is disappointing and hopefully something element is working on.

So mind-reading skills are the next sleep trend. There is quite a possibility. Sleep technology solutions provide everything from changeable temperatures to integrated sleep tracking The new The Elements brainwave-reading, where the best smart beds and mattresses make people drift away, may sound like a sci-fi nightmare, but when you fall asleep as needed, you can't think too busy to dream.
