InhibiTic is the first closed-loop headband that suppresses tics without cognitive side effects. Unlike meds that cause brain fog, our device reads your unique pre-tic brain signal in real time and delivers a gentle micro‑pulse of stimulation only at the moment of a tic—boosting your brain’s natural inhibition while keeping your mind sharp and clear. No constant stimulation, no dulling. Patient‑founded by a med student with Tourette. Now opening waitlist.

Hey everyone – Joseph here, the founder of InhibiTic. I’m a medical student and I’ve had Tourette for as long as I can remember. I stopped taking meds at 14 because they made me sleepy in class and noticeably worse at maths. I felt like I was choosing between tics and my own mind. That trade-off never sat right with me. So I started building InhibiTic: a headband that detects the brain signal right before a tic and delivers a tiny, precise boost to help your brain suppress it – only when needed. No brain fog. No constant buzzing. Just stillness without the side effects. I’ve tested the core software, built a simulation demo, and we’re now opening the waitlist ahead of the first self-experiment and clinical pilot. The mission is simple: silence the tic, keep the mind sharp. I’d love to hear your thoughts, questions, or your own experiences with Tourette and treatment. I’ll be here in the comments all day – ask me anything. – Joseph

How does the headband know which brain signal pattern to watch for, and does it need to be calibrated separately for each person before it starts working?
