NKNU Physics Team Develops Auditory Technology to Aid Brain Relaxation

CNA reporter Lin Chiao-lien, Kaohsiung, May 22. A team led by Professor Ho Ming-tsung of the Department of Physics at National Kaohsiung Normal University has identified specific audio frequencies that help the brain relax through non-linear physics and EEG analysis. They have developed 'Brain Power Headphone' technology, aiming to improve sleep quality and fatigue through sonic rhythms. Professor Ho stated that the research originated from his own long-term struggles with headaches and digestive issues. Observing that neural signals are linked to electrical frequencies, he explored physical methods to regulate brain rhythms. The team notes that sleep is vital for brain repair and waste clearance. Given modern high-stress lifestyles, this technology uses the concept of 'resonance' to guide neurons into synchronization, helping the brain transition from tension to relaxation. Preliminary observations with local hospitals showed that subjects' brain waves stabilized within 15 minutes of use. The technology is patented in Taiwan, Japan, and the US.
