Collaboration With Former Players
The Former Player Study was conducted in partnership with former NFL players and brain health advocates Brian Jones and Kenyon Rasheed, with clinical oversight by Dr. Cheng Ruan.
- Participants: 70+ former NFL players
- Location: Miami, Florida, during the week leading up to Super Bowl LIV
- Purpose: To evaluate cognitive, emotional, and physiological responses to FOCUS broad-spectrum hemp extract, comparing results to normative population data
Participants underwent in-depth brain activity screenings using PrimeMyBody’s proprietary qEEG-based technology, NeuralScan. Each participant provided informed consent and was guided through the testing protocol, which included baseline measurements and follow-up assessments after administering FOCUS.
Advanced Brain Mapping & Cognitive Assessment
Screenings evaluated multiple markers of cognitive performance, including attention, memory, reaction time, and overall brain efficiency.
Screening Highlights:
- Attention (Theta/Beta Ratio): Measured the brain’s ability to sustain attention before and after FOCUS administration
- Information Processing Speed: Evaluated the impact of FOCUS on cognitive processing rates
- Visual Response Time: Assessed the brain’s response to visual stimuli using visual evoked potentials
Screening Data A
The Effects Of FOCUS Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract On Attention (Theta/Beta Ratio) Objectives/Hypothesis
FOCUS will have a significantly better effect on the theta/beta ratio, traditionally used as a marker of the brain’s ability to sustain attention.
Subject Base & Administration Methods
42 former NFL players volunteered to undergo brain mapping with the qEEG based device, NeuralScan. The subjects consented to the testing and were introduced to the technology prior to screening tasks. A trained technician gave clear directions for testing. Electrodes with conductive gel were placed on subjects’ heads with confirmation of sensor sensitivity as evidenced by the NeuralScan software. A baseline NeuralScan evaluation was performed initially. The subjects were given 1 mL of FOCUS and another brain mapping was performed moments following administration.
Enrolled Subjects: 42
Completed Observations: 42
Results/Outcome
Mean theta/beta ratio baseline testing (before subjects took FOCUS) was 0.7069 with a standard deviation of .0.178. After taking FOCUS, this decreased to 0.6486 with a standard deviation of 0.176. The difference is statistically significant with a p value of 0.001.
Conclusion
The theta/beta ratio has been valued as a marker of the brain’s ability to sustain attention, as well as a marker to determine the brain’s performance under stress. We find here that there is a statistically significant decrease in theta/beta ratio, which may correlate with the brain’s improved ability to sustain attention and resilience toward stress.
Screening Data B
The Effects Of FOCUS Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract On Information Processing
Objectives/Hypothesis
FOCUS is able to improve information processing speed of the brain.
Subject Base & Administration Methods
42 former NFL players volunteered to undergo brain mapping with the qEEG based device, NeuralScan. The subjects consented to the testing and were introduced to the technology prior to screening tasks.. A trained technician gave clear directions for testing. Electrodes with conductive gel were placed on the subjects’ heads with confirmation of sensor sensitivity as evidenced by the NeuralScan software. A baseline NeuralScan evaluation was performed initially. The subjects were given 1 mL of FOCUS and another brain mapping was performed moments following administration.
Enrolled Subjects: 42
Completed Observations: 42
Results/Outcome
Mean information processing speed at baseline testing (before subjects took FOCUS) was 370.9 ms. After taking FOCUS, this decreased to 341.3 ms. The difference is statistically significant with a p value of 0.010.
Conclusion
The ability for qEEG device to quantify processing speed is a great tool to assess overall brain wellness. We find here that there is a statistically significant improvement in brain processing speed after FOCUS was taken by the subjects. This is very promising and encouraging since the improvement was so apparent. Although clinical improvements were not recorded, it was obvious that for most of the former NFL players that were screened they felt a significant subjective improvement as well.
Screening Data C
The Effects Of FOCUS Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract On Visual Response Time
Objectives/Hypothesis
FOCUS is able to improve visual response time.
Subject Base & Administration Methods
42 former NFL players volunteered to undergo brain mapping with the qEEG based device, NeuralScan. The subjects consented to the testing and were introduced to the technology prior to screening tasks. A trained technician gave clear directions for testing. Electrodes with conductive gel were placed on the subjects’ heads with confirmation of sensor sensitivity as evidenced by the NeuralScan software. A baseline NeuralScan evaluation was performed initially. The subjects were given 1 mL of FOCUS and another brain mapping was performed moments following administration.
A visual evoked potential is an evoked potential caused by a visual stimulus, such as an alternating checkerboard pattern on a computer screen. Responses are recorded from electrodes that are placed on the back of the head and are observed as a reading on an electroencephalogram (EEG). These responses usually originate from the occipital cortex, the area of the brain involved in receiving and interpreting visual signals.
Enrolled Subjects: 42
Completed Observations: 42
Results/Outcome
Mean visual processing speed at baseline testing (before subjects took FOCUS) was 212 ms. After taking FOCUS, this decreased to 179 ms. The difference is statistically significant with a p value of 0.004.
Conclusion
Visual processing is a measurement of how fast the nerve that travels from the brain to the eyes conducts information. This is measured when visual stimulus is provided on a laptop screen and the electrodes on the scalp are able to determine electrical spikes in the brain which correlate with the brain processing the image. There are multiple environmental factors that can affect the speed of visual processing. This data is encouraging since very few things in nature have been shown to significantly improve this value.
