FAQs

What is hyperplasticity?

Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to adapt to training and 
learn new skills – from foreign languages to math, from 
directions to the nearest cafe to physical movement and 
strength. By stimulating the motor cortex during athletic 
training (i.e. Neuropriming), the brain enters into a state of 
heightened plasticity known as “hyperplasticity,” during 
which the brain adapts to training more effectively.

Who can use Halo Sport? 

Any healthy adult over 18 years old can use Halo Sport, 
whether they’re a beginner or elite athlete. Due to a lack of 
published scientific research, Halo is Sport not 
recommended for medical applications or for those under 
18.

What is Neuropriming?

Neuropriming is the process of pairing neurostimulation 
with athletic training to build stronger, more optimized 
connections between the brain and the muscles. 
Neuropriming introduces a state of hyper-learning, or 
“hyperplasticity” in the brain, which refines the brain’s 
ability to learn and adapt to athletic training.

What does the stimulation feel like? 

Most athletes call it a mild tingling sensation, and others 
compare the feeling to the sensation elicited by muscle 
stimulators. Some people have a hard time knowing when 
the stimulator is even on.
