Halo Sport is head mounted device, which provides transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS). It was created by Halo Neuroscience as a tDCS device, which could be safely used outside laboratories. The device consists of a wearable headset on which are placed two electrodes and a neurostimulator, which is powered by battery.[7] The electrodes are entitled "primers" by Halo Neuroscience and tDCS is reffered as "neuropriming".[6]
The device stimulates motor cortex. If it is used during a training, it is supposed to enhance motoric abilities of its users.[8] This could make the training more effective. This feature was approved by several sport organisations as US Ski and Snowboard Association, Michael Johnson Performance, or Invictus that take a part in Halo Sport's testing.[2] Halo Sport is also used by U.S. Department of Defense for improving skills of special operations forces.[9]
