Would you wear one of these headbands to chill out?

Judging by what I saw at Unveiled, we’re all anxious, none of us are sleeping well, and the key is to hack your brain with a wearable. I found all three of these devices in the same aisle.

The Frenz Brainband reads your brainwaves and then uses bone conduction to play a personal soundscape into your skull. You stick the Mywave on your forehead for a night to generate custom sleep tracks based on your delta waves. Meanwhile, NeurGear’s ZenBud is a headset that stimulates your vagus nerve to help you chill.

Honestly could’ve used something to help me sleep last night.
