electroCore announces its TAC-STIM nVNS was selected to be part of AFRL A2PEX

electroCore announced that its TAC-STIM non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation, nVNS, Human Performance product, has been selected to be a part of the Air Force Research Laboratories, AFRL, Real-Time Assessing and Augmenting Cognitive Performance in Extreme Environments, A2PEX, Grant Program. A2PEX is a five-year project led by the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, IHMC, that includes internationally-recognized leaders in wearable technologies from industry and academia. The goal of A2PEX is to build a wearable system to sense, assess and augment cognitive performance in operational environments. Sensors developed by A2PEX partners will develop electrophysiological and biomarker sensors to assess Airmen stress/fatigue in extreme environments. electroCore’s proprietary TAC-STIM nVNS has been commissioned by IHMC for integration into the A2PEX system to mitigate fatigue and augment performance. TAC-STIM is a form of nVNS for human performance and has been developed in collaboration with the United States Department of Defense Biotech Optimized for Operational Solutions and Tactics, or “BOOST” program and AFRL.
