Improving Office Worker Focus Using Neurological Signals

What we are studying:

How headphones capable of tracking neurological signals might help office workers know when it is time to take a short break and how incorporating biophilic sounds into this work break may improve these break’s restorative processes.

Why it matters:

Work-related stress is the top stressor among adult workers (American Psychological Association, 2021). If integration of headphones that track when office workers are distracted or stressed can be integrated with relaxation content, such as MindBreaks, it may have major implications to worker productivity and the company’s bottom line.
