In Today’s Episode: Does Brain Stimulation Really Work?
Join us as we talk with Nathalie Gouailhardou, founder of Neurode and neurotechnology innovator, who shares her insights on how non-invasive brain stimulation and measurement may transform focus, ADHD management, and the future of mental performance.

Key Takeaways from Today’s Episode:
-How Nathalie turned her ADHD diagnosis and neuroscience background into building Neurode, a brain stimulation headband.
-The science behind brain measurement, stimulation, and why the prefrontal cortex is central to focus and executive function.
-What makes Neurode different from other neurotech devices, and why clinical research matters.

Questions We Answer in This Episode:
-Can brain stimulation devices actually improve focus and ADHD symptoms?
-How is Neurode different from other neurotechnology tools like Mendi?
-What does the future of neurotechnology mean for focus, mental health, and human potential?
