Russian scientists unveil brain-boosting helmet to shield seniors from scams
The device looks like a virtual reality headset but works differently. It sends specialised signals to the brain to boost neural activity and maintain cognitive function. Researchers designed it to strengthen critical thinking, making users less vulnerable to online trickery.
The prototype could offer a practical way to protect elderly internet users. If successful, it may reduce the number of seniors falling for cybercrime. Further testing will determine its effectiveness in real-world situations.
