The Shock Clock Uses Pavlovian Principles to Keep People Alert
Meghan Young — April 20, 2016 — Lifestyle
Although it might seem like a mild case of torture, the Shock Clock is being touted as “the first device that uses effective, tested sensory inputs to wake you up and keep you alert.” As it's name suggest, the Shock Clock shocks people awake with a series of vibrations, beeps and electric shocks. Although it doesn't sound very pleasant, it is quite effective.
Essentially, the Shock Clock aims to not be used in this manner for long. Instead it works to train people to wake up feeling fresh all on their own. Normally a tired and cranky individual in the morning? The Shock Clock could change what may feel like an ingrained part of your personality.
