CORA - Performance anxiety ear bud.

CORA is a new and completely unique sports performance anxiety ear bud. CORA uses HRV ​biodata to detect stress via the Sympathetic Nervous System and initiates low Hz vibrations to ​stimulate the vagus nerve. Not only does it alleviate performance anxiety it encourages long ​term behavioural change. CORA brings focus and composure to you game you thought you had ​lost.
