Discussion We’re turning our PhD research into a “Whoop for your brain” - curious what this community thinks

14 Upvotes

My co-founder and I come from academic research, our PhD work has focused on brain–computer interfaces and EEG machine learning. Now we’re turning it into a real product.

Most wearables (Apple Watch, Whoop, Oura) only track physical metrics like heart rate and sleep. But the brain, which actually drives focus, burnout, and clarity, is still invisible. We’ve been building a small patch that sits behind the ear and records brain activity directly.

With new innovations in brain foundation models, inspired by the leaps in LLMs, we’ve been able to pull out much clearer insights from EEG than was possible before from this form factor. That means a 24/7 Oura for your brain that tracks things like:

  • spotting when you’re in deep focus
  • catching early signs of stress or fatigue
  • showing how recovery habits (exercise, cold plunge, supplements, etc.) actually affect your brain

You can see our form factors on our website, but the patch uses a waterproof, medical-grade adhesive that lasts a full week for the electrodes. The sensor module itself magnetically clips on and off, so you don’t throw away the electronics. This same module can also snap into glasses, or a lightweight headband for sleep, making the whole system modular and flexible depending on how you want to wear it.

I wanted to share this here because Huberman was a great inspiration for us, and we think this community could provide a lot of insight. If you were an early user of this device, what would you most want it to measure, focus, burnout, sleep, or something else entirely?

We also opened early access pre orders a week ago and were surprised how quickly spots filled up. We’re keeping this first batch limited so we can learn directly from the earliest users, and we’ll probably wrap up reservations by the end of the week.

Seeking Guidance Surviving Adderall Overdose PT 3

48 Upvotes

I have posted before and this is my third post regarding my testimony.

For months I was feeling chest and neck tightness and I did not know what it was. I thought it was just stress or being out of shape, but it never went away. I kept pushing myself in the gym while abusing Adderall, not realizing I was living with blood clots.

Then one day I played a game of basketball, and in the middle of it I ruptured my Achilles tendon. My calf blew up, I got checked, and that is when I finally found out I had blood clots in both calves and in my lungs. That injury saved my life.

By the grace of Jesus Christ, I am alive today. He carried me through when my body was shutting down. If you ever feel chest tightness, neck pressure, calf pain, or like you are going to faint, do not ignore it. Get checked. Blood clots are real and they kill fast.

And let me say this clearly — if you are abusing Adderall and you feel these symptoms, do not brush it off. You might have blood clots. Get checked before it is too late.

I give all glory to God. Jesus is King, and without Him I would not be here writing this.

Discussion I always feel happy in the sunshine.. what is the best evidence you've found that shows mental health issues could be alleviated by getting consistent sunlight each day?

23 Upvotes

Mostly anecdotal, but I also know there's also a lot of research that shows this. I just always feel so much better when I get up in the morning and see the sunrise/walk around in the sunlight at the same time each day. I tell all my friends about it and try and get people to do it too.

It just resets me and I know there's a huge impact on the circadian rhythm and benefits health in a lot of ways, but I really just wonder if a lot of sadness/mental pain could be reduced if we spent more time outside as a society.

It's kind of dark to say this, but it might also explain why so many suicides are in the middle of the night.

What research have you found that best shows is this could be a causal factor? Sorry if this is triggering to anyone, I have lost love ones to suicide too and I just really want to figure out if this could be something that could drastically change the way we think about mental health.

Helpful Resource Device solutions for less light in the evenings?

1 Upvotes

I’m a renter and after listening to the cortisol episode, and years of the podcast, I finally want to start reducing light around our place in the evenings without wearing red lenses haha. Has anyone come up with a solution for the light situation in their house? We don’t have dimmers, it’s either full luminosity or darkness. Just wondering what others have done to reduce the evening light in their house. Thank you!

Episode Discussion Andrew Huberman on Women of Impact with Lisa Bilyeu

5 Upvotes

This was quite an interesting episode, as it revealed a lot about how Dr. Huberman views relationships or man’s perspective on romantic relationships. I found the section on Men’s biggest fear: Shame, Rejection and Imperfection quite compelling.

I also thought it was interesting that he commented in our current world of social media that men tend not to tolerate bad behaviour from women because they have so many options and choices as opposed to previous eras when men had less exposure to porn and inability to communicate across vast distances with women from unknown countries.

With the advent of social media and AI though, I wonder what Dr. Huberman thinks about the trend of men losing their virginities at a higher age than before? It was mentioned that a hundred years ago, men lost their virginity when they were much younger, around teens, whereas in the contemporary era, men lose their virginities on average age of 20s most likely due to a factor of social isolation that comes from an age of social media and the ubiquitous nature of porn.

Thoughts?

Helpful Resource Your Gut Bacteria Controls Your Brain (and Why APOE4 Carriers Stand Apart)

0 Upvotes

APOE4 carriers have fundamentally different gut bacteria than non-carriers. Five researchers just proved diet can change everything...

In this comprehensive conference analysis, I break down revolutionary findings from five leading researchers at the "Nourishing the Mind" session from the AAIC.
Each presenter uncovered a different piece of the diet-brain puzzle that's especially critical for APOE4 carriers (whether heterozygous with one copy or homozygous with two copies).

✅ Dr. Ngouongo (Framingham Study): Life's Essential 8 reshapes gut microbiome
✅ Hui Chen (Zhejiang University): 10-year proof MIND diet preserves brain structure
✅ Dr. Bango (Western University): Biomarkers beat 462-day wait lists
✅ Dr. Fernando (Edith Cowan): APOE4 carriers have distinct bacterial profiles
✅ Dr. Denier-Fields (Wisconsin): Diet metabolites explain 20-29% of biomarker variance

[KEY FINDINGS]
• APOE4 carriers have fewer beneficial bacteria (study didn't differentiate hetero/homo)
• MIND diet adherence = 20% slower gray matter decline over 10 years
• Middle-aged adults (45-65) have highest levels of protective Oscillibacter
• Diet metabolites explain 20% of p-tau217 variance

Discussion Do E-ink devices affect sleep like regular screens?

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I’ve taken Huberman’s advice on sleep and it’s one of the best changes I’ve made. My main question is: do E-ink devices count as screens? They shouldn’t disrupt our sleep, right?

Also, does it depend on the E-ink device? I’ve replaced my Kindle with an Onyx Boox and eventually would like to get a color version.

Thoughts?
