Forget clunky hospital machines—Chinese researchers just dropped a game-changing wearable brain stimulator that’s lighter than your laptop! 💻 Weighing only 3kg, this portable device uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat conditions like depression and addiction. Traditional gear? That’s 50kg and stuck in clinics. This? You could literally walk with it. 👟
🧩 Science Meets Mobility
Developed by the Institute of Automation under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the device slashes power use by 90% and packs cutting-edge magnetic coils. Trials showed it can tweak brain activity while users walk, linking leg movement to enhanced arm-related neural signals. As lead researcher Qi Ziwei put it: 'This isn’t sci-fi—it’s real-world healing.' 🌍
🏡 Therapy Anywhere, Anytime
Imagine getting treatment at home or your local community center. Senior engineer Liu Hao says future versions could merge with brain-computer interfaces, creating closed-loop systems that adapt in real-time. 🧬 From lab to living room? This tech could democratize mental health care globally.
