Global Brain and KDDI have invested in Halo Neuroscience, an innovative startup offering neurostimulation devices, alongside with TPG and Lux Capital
Global Brain has invested in Halo Neuroscience (hereinafter “Halo”), creators of Halo Sport, a neurostimulation headset that accelerates the acquisition of muscle memory from athletic training, through its KDDI Open Innovation Fund (hereinafter “KOIF”), alongside with TPG and Lux Capital.
Halo was founded in 2013 and launched its flagship product, Halo Sport, in 2016 to unlock human potential. Halo Sport delivers targeted neurostimulation to the motor cortex, the part of the brain that controls movement. Organizations like the San Francisco Giants and US Olympic Ski Team are currently using Halo Sport to accelerate the rate at which they learn from movement training.
Global Brain will leverage its resources to support Halo by assisting its penetration into the Japanese market, including but not limited to building partnership with KDDI and alliances with its potential clients.
