ELF emmit is a wearable device that is supposed to provide a neurostimulation. It delivers elecromagnetic pulses into the backside of a user's scalp, which should affected user's brainwaves and in this way affected user's mood and concentration. It uses the method of Pulsed Electromagnetic Stimulation (PEMS).
It is head-mounted U-shaped device which is placed at the backside of the head. In the middle of the device is a coil, which produces electromagnetic pulses. The device is made of plastic and is powered by smartphone through a user's headphone jack. The sessions are controlled via an app in a user's smartphone.[3] The device was developed by Ljubljana based company Medwell d.o.o.[4]

Main Characteristics
The history of electromagnetic stimulation is described in the transcranial magnetic stimulation entry. The history of the device started in 1980 when the developers thought for the first time about the device which resembles ELF emmit. In 2006, they decided to build it, but the first prototype appeared in 2013. The prototype ways battery-powered, even though, they later turned to the device powered by a headphone jack. The following year the team grew as they hired Joze Barbaric, the former Bosch-Siemens engineer and several other members of the development team. They also developed the app in 2014. In 2016, they began testing of the device and IndieGoGo campaign was started. The campaign was very successful as it reached 414% of its goal. The shipping began in September 2016.[1]
Purpose
The purpose of the device is to enhance users' concentration and deep-learning, improve sleeping and meditation, and reduce stress.
