Brain on switch for burning Calories after meal disclosed by scholars

Wellcome Images3/20 Baby Hawaiian bobtail squid Another Wellcome Images Award winner, this time of baby Hawaiian bobtail squid. Scientists looked specifically at how the body converts white fat, which stores energy, into the brown fat that is used to burn it. Scientists have found the brain's "on switch" for burning fat. The brain then sends out signals to encourage the browning of fat, so that it can expend energy.

A wearable device has launched that can stimulate the brain into burning more fat. The developers claim that Modius can result in users burning more fat, a decrease in appetite and a change in metabolism. They claim that because the brain is linked to weight gain and loss, it can be stimulated to burn more fat. The brain then thinks that the stimulation is the body being more physically active, which activates the hypothalamus to reduce fat storage. × Expand ModiusThe Modius Headset has been developed by Neurovalens, a neuro technology company that claim its device can help end the obesity epidemic.

Modius is a neurostimulation wearable that tricks your body into burning Calories

Why it matters to you Who doesn't want to burn body fat without any effort? No, it's not a "miracle" cure ad for the terminally podgy, but the pitch for the Neurovalens Modius, a neurostimulation device that sounds almost too good to be true. Wear this headset for 45 minutes a day, and you could hack your body into burning more fat resulting in a leaner, meaner look. This, Neurovalens says, fools the body into thinking you're a physically active person, even though you're sitting down watching Netflix. An early study showed an 8 percent body fat reduction took place over a 16 week period using the Modius, and the company founder wrote about his experience using the device for a year.
