The Brain Stimulation Headset, Valkee (http://www.valkee.com),
substitutes the mood-elevating effects of the sun, by channelling
safe bright light directly to photosensitive regions of the brain
through the ear canal. Valkee has been proven to increase energy,
and can act as a preventative or treatment of mood swings. Valkee
has CE medical device certification and is clinically
tested.
London, UK – Wednesday 1st June 2011. The brain
stimulation headset from Valkee, a venture-funded, scientifically
backed Finnish company, is now on sale in the UK, exclusively from
the Valkee site (http://www.valkee.com). The Valkee
light emitting earplugs prevent and treat mood swings, and
circadian rhythm disorders, by bringing safe bright light to
photosensitive regions of the brain. 8-12 minutes a day provides
the needed amount of light daily.
Valkee Headset in Black
Valkee’s brain stimulation headset is based on new
findings in brain science and bright light therapy. It has been
studied since 2007 in the University of Oulu, Finland, by
approximately 20 scientists cross-functionally in neurobiology,
psychiatry and brain biology. In total, research has included over
350 study subjects, making it one of world’s largest programs
in bright light research. In clinical studies, 9 of 10 experienced
total symptomatic relief from severe tiredness and anxiety in
‘winter blues’. Valkee also supports improved cognitive
performance at any time of the year.
“I used the Valkee light emitting earplugs on my trip to
west coast. I didn’t experience jetlag, and my colleagues
were wondering why I didn’t feel tired during afternoon
meetings.” -Venture capital investor, Male 43 years
Valkee continues to publish its scientific results in leading
scientific forums and publications during 2011, including advanced
studies into the Valkee effects on PMS, ‘baby blues’,
migraines, and Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Chief executive, Timo Ahopelto said today: “Valkee has
been adopted by smart people who want to proactively take care of
themselves – and the results have been good. In the user
testing in 2010, 80% of people reported they felt better than the
previous year.”
“I used Valkee for a week after travelling from UK to
California – 8 minutes of light, 1 ½ hours after waking up.
From the very first day onwards I felt no jetlag symptoms,
especially the ”afternoon dizziness” was missing.
I continued using Valkee when back home, and the results were just
as good. There were no problems this time to get back to the
rhythm.” – European CxO on Silicon Valley travel,
