CURVEX is measuring the brain activity of your brain. What we measure after are the different brainwaves, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and theta. And we can do so from the frontal lobe of your forehead.

To use the CURVEX Brain Scanner you need to put it on your head so the front, where there are two nodes, are on your forehead. These nodes need to be 2 cm above your eyebrows to have the right connection to your frontal lobe. Additionally, the ear clip that is attached to the brain scanner needs to be attached to your earlobe.

Step 1: Turn on the spider and you will see a red and blue light flashing.

Step 2: Turn on your headset and you will see a red and blue light flashing in the receiver.

Step 3: Hold the spider and the headset close to each other. When only the blue lights are on, that means they are connected. It may take up to a minute until the connection is established.

 

ATTN: The spider does not connect through the app, but directly with the headset.

Technology

The headset can detect the brainwaves in the frontal lobe via the electrode on the forehead. By analyzing the frequency of these signals, CURVEX can display various brain states, e.g. focus, calm, flow and effort.

Brainwaves (EEG), like the cardio-electricity (ECG) and myo-electricity (EMG), are a type of bio-electricity, produced by the brain. Brainwaves are bio-electric currents produced by connections and interactions between the neurons.

Alpha: The alpha frequency band (8-13 Hz) indicates a relaxed state when people are consciously awake, e.g. walking in a park, doing yoga or closing their eyes meditatively. It is widely believed that this state can promote better physical health. Alpha waves can reduce the secretion of physical stress hormones and aid in reducing the risk of  insomnia, low immunity, obesity, hypertension and other poor health conditions.

The beta frequency band is generally divided into low beta wave (13-17Hz, also called SMR wave) and high beta waves (18-30Hz). Low beta waves are produced when people are in the working state, a focused state, or where their limb movement is under control. High beta waves are produced when the brain is stressed, nervous, or excited. If the brain is in this state, a lot of energy will be consumed, and the brain will feel fatigued, anxious and stressed. Beta brainwaves are particularly important for people’s working and learning performance. Therefore, cultivation and induction of beta brainwaves in childhood are greatly helpful for the future growth of the child. If a child cannot produce beta waves, there is probably a lack of certain nutrient elements during the brain development, resulting in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The theta frequency band (3-7Hz) is a brainwave produced between waking and sleeping. When our left brain is in the theta wave state, the left brain will be “closed”, and the right brain will be “activated” to become active, clouding in consciousness, but the creative inspiration is endless. Theta is a state that artists and writers often pursue, and people can also reach this state naturally when we are meditating and deeply relaxed.

The delta frequency band (1-3Hz) is a state of deep sleep, which allows the body and brain to take full rest and get revitalized. Delta waves will also be produced when the neonatal brain is not fully developed.

The delta frequency band (1-3Hz) is a state of deep sleep, which allows the body and brain to take full rest and get revitalized. Delta waves will also be produced when the neonatal brain is not fully developed.

CURVEX has been striving to develop the third-party developer ecological chain system. The CURVEX SDK can be purchased or bought as a subscription package. The developer is only required to pay attention to the official SDK of CURVEX, and the individual developer is therefore responsible for their own integration. We will send the SDK and a detailed guide you can follow, in order to implement the SDK. Meanwhile, CURVEX can also conclude a cooperation agreement on hardware sales with the developer, binding the developer’s app for joint sales revenue splits.
