The Foc.us Has Been Nominated For Best Gaming Innovation In The 2013 Dragon Slayer Awards

Foc.us headset has been nominated for an award in the Best Gaming Innovation category at the Dragon Slayer Awards. This category has a lot of heavy hitters, but Foc.us definitely stands out. Most of the nominees in this category make improvements on games through hardware, but Foc.us makes improvements to your brain’s own software.

The Foc.us headset uses a technique called transcranial direct-current stimulation, or tDCS, to stimulate parts of your brain. The tDCS technique has been proven to increase cognitive performance in a variety of tasks like language and mathematical ability, memory, problem solving, and coordination. The headset applies a small current to your prefrontal cortex, increasing your brain’s natural plasticity and the rate at which your synapses fire.

Faster Processor, Faster Graphics, Faster Brain!

This tech mumbo-jumbo all means that with a bit of electricity you can learn new skills faster and play games better. The Foc.us is not just an amazing gaming innovation, it has the potential to be useful for many other fields. Imagine sticking one on an intern and having him or her learn their role more quickly.

Safety is also an important part of this device. Though it is not recommended for ages under 18 or sufferers of epilepsy, when used properly there is no risk; the safety protocols limit the current, duration, and frequency of stimulation.

If you want your very own Foc.us to try, they are currently available on Foc.us‘s website and you can grab one for only $249.

The award for Best Gaming Innovation should be in the bag for Foc.us. Head on over to Guild Launch’s Dragon Slayer Awards page to cast your vote for your favorite gaming innovation, and don’t forget to check out the several other categories. Voting started on July 1st and runs until September 2nd so make sure to cast your votes now.
