THE SCIENCE
OF NEUROPRIMING

BUILDING ON THE WORK OF THE U.S. ARMED FORCES

The U.S. Military accelerated pilot and sniper training by 50% with neurotechnology similar to Halo Sport. We’re bringing these gains to athletics.

Neuropriming uses pulses of energy to increase the excitability of motor neurons, benefiting athletes in two ways: accelerated strength and skill acquisition.
THE PROBLEM:
GAINS LEFT ON THE TABLE

Signals sent from the brain to muscles are often transmitted with submaximal organization and strength—especially when an athlete is fatigued.

THE SOLUTION:
HALO SPORT + NEUROPRIMING

Pulses of energy improve the brain’s response to training, enabling the motor cortex to send stronger, more synchronous signals to muscles. Improved neuromuscular signaling means athletes get more from each rep.

THE RESULT:
INCREASED STRENGTH

More robust signaling increases motor unit recruitment, so more muscle fibers are activated during training. With this increase, gains in strength are seen more rapidly.

THE RESULT:
SKILL ACQUISITION

Recruiting muscle fiber is only part of the equation. From golf swings to deadlifts, perfecting form and technique is essential.

Neuropriming™ heightens the brain's natural processes for acquiring new and honing existing athletic skills.

GOOD FIT,
GOOD FEEL

Halo Sport is designed for comfort. Primers feature soft foam nibs that sit comfortably on the head, and Neuropriming often goes unnoticed or feels like a light tingle.

Our Team

Our leadership team brings an MD, a Ph.D, and 30 years in neuroscience to Halo. Their previous company, NeuroPace, changed the lives of thousands of people suffering from epilepsy.

MEDICAL APPLICATIONS

With Halo Sport, we're just getting started. Working with some of the nation's top hospitals, we're researching the potential for our technology to accelerate the rate of recovery in stroke patients.

If you are a hospital or research facility interested in learning more, we'd love to hear from you.
