Worn around your neck, Sensate’s device lies on your chest and vibrates, stimulating your vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is responsible for the regulation of internal organ functions like digestion, heart rate and respiratory rate.

The vagus nerve is connected to your vocal cords and the muscles at the back of your throat. It’s naturally stimulated by performing functions like singing, humming or taking deep breaths — all actions that are associated with less stress and improved mood.
