 Hey everybody, Dieter with The Verge here, and I'm holding the Nirvana. This is a prototype. It is a entertainment device? It's a gadget. You plug your headphones into it, and then you plug its special headphones into it, and this blue wire is going into my left ear, and it is sending electrical signals which are supposed to stimulate my vagus nerve, which then are supposed to, you know, chill me out. So, I've been using it now for 10 minutes or so, and I've got to say I feel a little bit chill. The basic feeling of it is you put it in your left ear because that's the side of your body that isn't connected to your heart, so it's safer. And it sends these little electrical impulses. They feel like little, tiny little stings in your ear canal. And the idea is it can help with pain management and also just chill you out a little bit. They get stronger or weaker depending on the intensity of the music, but this is not a medical device, and they're not marketing it as a medical device, although they may do some clinical trials on this specific device later. I mean, just my perspective, that was weird. Max, do I look high right now? Alright, so now that I've used the Nirvana, it's been about 30 minutes. I used it for about 20 minutes. I felt lightheaded, and I don't know why. I think there's a real question, which is, is it just a placebo? I tell you what is not a placebo is the stinging in your ear. It's like, like stick a 9-volt battery in your tongue, but imagine that in your ear. So there's two headphones. One is blue, one is black. The blue one goes in your left ear. That's where the signals are. Black one is just music. It goes in your right ear. If you swap them, then these electrical signals are stimulating the vagus nerve on your right side, which by the way is connected to your heart. And you don't want to be doing crazy electrical things to a nerve that's got a beeline right to your heart. But I can tell you what, I'm not going to use one off Indiegogo. Sorry guys. It's launching on Indiegogo on March 15th, and it's going to retail when they start shipping at $299, although if you back it on Indiegogo, you might be able to get it for a little bit less.
 Hey everybody, Dieter with The Verge here, and I'm holding the Nirvana.
 This is a prototype.
 It is a entertainment device?
 It's a gadget.
 You plug your headphones into it, and then you plug its special headphones into it, and
 this blue wire is going into my left ear, and it is sending electrical signals which
 are supposed to stimulate my vagus nerve, which then are supposed to, you know, chill
 me out.
 So, I've been using it now for 10 minutes or so, and I've got to say I feel a little
 bit chill.
 The basic feeling of it is you put it in your left ear because that's the side of your body
 that isn't connected to your heart, so it's safer.
 And it sends these little electrical impulses.
 They feel like little, tiny little stings in your ear canal.
 And the idea is it can help with pain management and also just chill you out a little bit.
 They get stronger or weaker depending on the intensity of the music, but this is not a
 medical device, and they're not marketing it as a medical device, although they may
 do some clinical trials on this specific device later.
 I mean, just my perspective, that was weird.
 Max, do I look high right now?
 Alright, so now that I've used the Nirvana, it's been about 30 minutes.
 I used it for about 20 minutes.
 I felt lightheaded, and I don't know why.
 I think there's a real question, which is, is it just a placebo?
 I tell you what is not a placebo is the stinging in your ear.
 It's like, like stick a 9-volt battery in your tongue, but imagine that in your ear.
 So there's two headphones.
 One is blue, one is black.
 The blue one goes in your left ear.
 That's where the signals are.
 Black one is just music.
 It goes in your right ear.
 If you swap them, then these electrical signals are stimulating the vagus nerve on your right
 side, which by the way is connected to your heart.
 And you don't want to be doing crazy electrical things to a nerve that's got a beeline right
 to your heart.
 But I can tell you what, I'm not going to use one off Indiegogo.
 Sorry guys.
