The system proposed Nervana, consists of a musical device called a generator, and a pair of headphones in-ear, where the right hearing aid only emit audio signals, but the left, besides music, will be able to transmit an electrical signal low frequency into the ear to stimulate the vagus nerve, which extends throughout the brainstem to the abdomen and plays an important role in the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps control centers reward and pleasure of the brain and the regulation of mood and emotion.

According to officials of Nervana, have achieved these tiny electrical signals traveling in sync with the music, this thanks to a joint effort between the generator and the headphones as it is not sending signals constantly, the generator analyzes the music played and synchronized with certain frequency in small doses, again according to the rhythm of the song playing.
