A revolutionary smart mask promises to help you stave off the dreaded effects of jet lag by preparing your body for the time difference before you even board the flight.
It syncs with an app to tell you when to seek light in the days before a journey, and artificially triggers sensors in your eyes during the flight to trick the brain into adjusting to the new time zone.
The NeuroOn mask can also help non-travellers regulate their sleeping patterns and get a better night's kip.
It is fitted with sensors that monitor brainwaves, eye movement, oxygen levels and the wearer's body temperature before sending this information to an app on their connected phone.
After analysing the data, the mask will wake the wearer up when they are in the lightest stage of their sleep cycle and therefore closest to being awake.
This is done using Bright Light Therapy which artificially triggers the light sensors in a person's eyes to make their brain believe the sun is coming up.
This makes their body feel as though it is morning and that they are waking up naturally.
The therapy can be used to rouse people gently so that they feel more refreshed and less tired.
Or it can trick the brain into thinking it is in a different time zone.
