Real-time measurement provides extensive usage in various scenarios:
The ultra-compact design of the XB-01 can provide solutions for various usage scenarios such as Cognitive function training, Movement + cognitive function training, Stress coping, Learning and the Utilization of IoH.
1. Cognitive function training
In recent years, it has been found that the higher the activity of the prefrontal cortex during cognitive function training, the afterward effects of improving cognitive function was much higher. It has also revealed that cognitive function training can contribute to maintaining the health of the brain as well.
By using the XB-01 in conjunction with the latest cognitive training programs provided by NeU, users can easily monitor the activation level of their prefrontal cortex in real-time during training. This provides users with the world’s first “individualized optimization cognitive training” that allows a customized program to be selected that can continually load the prefrontal cortex according to the physical conditions of the day.
In addition, by performing real-time monitoring of prefrontal activities during cognitive training together with internal (mental) efforts to raise brain activity, a neuro-feedback effect occurs where higher cognitive functional improvements can be achieved.
2. Movement + cognitive function training
It is a well-known fact that the secretion of BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor), which is a growth factor of neurons, is carried out after aerobic exercise. By combining aerobic exercise with cognitive training and programming, a more effective cognitive function training can be achieved. The XB-01 also provides a heart rate monitoring function due to its ability to measure changes in blood flow rate, which makes it possible to quantify exercise load during aerobic exercises. With the use of this function, a combination of aerobic exercises with moderate load and cognitive function training can now be offered in one package.

3. Stress coping
By utilizing the features of the XB-01, stress coping training can now be performed easily at home or at the workplace by controlling and visualizing one’s brain activities, resulting in an overall reduction in the amount of stress hormones.
4. Learning
Being able to visualize brain activity during the learning process allows the learner to objectively know the degree of his/her concentration level. The learner can then and modify and make changes to his/her environment to better enhances concentration and memory abilities. This process can be applied not only to students, but also to professionals who want to improve their work productivity and performance.

5. Utilization of IoH
By monitoring brain activity in daily scenarios and environments, and collecting and analyzing its data in the cloud, it is possible to record the brain’s load status of (for example) drivers and workers, to encourage moderate breaks and avoid unnecessary work-related stress, contributing to an improvement in society’s overall quality of life.
