Built for You.
The human brain is an electrical and chemical masterpiece. For decades, advanced technologies like tDCS
(transcranial Direct Current Stimulation) and PBM (Photobiomodulation) were confined to research labs and
elite clinics.
At Panbrain, we believe cognitive optimization shouldn't be exclusive. Led by experts from Yale University,
we have engineered these proven mechanisms into safe, non-invasive, and intuitive devices for your daily
routine.

tDCS: Precision Tuning
for Your Neurons
Cognitive Performance Improvement
How it works
Your brain cells communicate via electrical impulses. The Panbrain Energy Pod utilizes tDCS to deliver a micro-current - so gentle it’s barely perceptible - to specific cortical areas. This current modulates the "resting membrane potential" of your neurons.
What you feel
Think of it as "priming the engine." By lowering the threshold for neuronal firing, we make it easier for your brain to:
Enter Flow State
Enhance working memory and focus.
Regulate Mood
Balance cortical excitability to reduce stress.
Improve Sleep
Facilitate the transition into restful states.
810nm NIR: Powering the Brain’s
Power Plants
How It Works
Not all light is created equal. Our headset emits a specific wavelength of 810nm Near-Infrared Light. Unlike visible light, 810nm can penetrate the skull to reach the brain tissue. There, it targets the Mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) and stimulates the production of ATP (cellular energy) via Cytochrome C Oxidase.
What You Feel
This process is known as Photobiomodulation (PBM). It supports:
Long-term Cognitive Health
Protecting neurons from oxidative stress.
Metabolic Clearance
Aiding the brain glymphatic system in clearing waste.
Deep Restoration
Enhancing the quality of deep sleep phases.
Light Spectrum
Clinical Standards.
Consumer Comfort.
Safety and efficacy are not optional. They are foundational.
Non-Invasive & Painless
Both tDCS and NIR technologies are strictly non-invasive. No needles, no chemicals, just physics.
Precision Engineered
Our 810nm wavelength is calibrated to within ±2nm to ensure maximum biological efficacy, unlike generic red light devices.
Current Control
The Energy Pod features intelligent ramping technology to ensure the electrical stimulation remains comfortable and within safety protocols established by decades of research.
Backed by Decades
