UFC’s Maycee Barber’s Brain Scans Reveal The Aires Effect – Live!

Watch Maycee Barber’s EEG demonstration with Aires, then explore the original studies behind the wider research program. The scans show brain electrical activity; Maycee also shares her experience of focus, recovery and performance.

Why UFC Fighter Maycee Barber Turns to Aires

Maycee Barber is a rising force in the UFC Flyweight division, recognized for her relentless pace, precision striking, and mental toughness. Turning pro at just 19, she’s built her career on discipline, vision, and a deep belief in pushing past limits.

Her fighting is personal a craft that demands discipline, long-term health, and a constant search for small improvements. Maycee brings that commitment to her use of Aires. Her video describes what the Aires effect means in her own life, while the research below connects the technology to measured EEG and cardiovascular responses. Explore the original studies.

The EEG Scan Breakthrough

Maycee’s EEG comparison showed reduced excessive beta and high-beta activity in the temporal lobes after Aires was introduced. Biofeedback specialist Chris Wyllie describes a more balanced brainwave pattern; Maycee says she feels more present. Watch the EEG comparison, then explore Serov and Sysoev’s original EEG study and Datova’s HRV investigation.

“Really positive improvements in brainwave activity.”

The Electromagnetic Environment Is Part of the Picture

Phones, wearables and Wi-Fi are part of everyday life. Aires studies how this electromagnetic environment interacts with biological function and how its resonators change the measured response. Serov and Sysoev’s 2014 phone study reported a protective effect on brain bioelectrical activity with Aires Shield. Datova’s 2013 investigation recorded a lower regulatory stress index in 12 of 13 volunteers after a 20-minute Defender application. Read the EEG study · Read the HRV study.

Aires connects that question to measurable research.

The research spans physical models, laboratory experiments and human investigations. Each study identifies the device, protocol and outcome it measured. Follow the physics-to-biology connection.

What Maycee Noticed After Using Aires

Maycee reported faster recovery, fewer headaches, and a noticeable boost in performance. In the cage, she felt more resilient, able to stay sharp, focused, and composed even in the most intense moments

EEG research — reduced phone-associated changes in an 11-person study*

Cardiovascular adaptation — +13.5 percentage points*

Lower stress index — 12 of 13 volunteers (92.3%)*

Autonomic regulation — +11.5 percentage points*

*Research findings: Datova’s 2013 report studied 13 adults before and after a 20-minute Aires Defender application. Mean cardiovascular adaptation rose from 42.2 to 55.7, and autonomic regulation from 45.5 to 57.0. Serov and Sysoev’s 2014 EEG study tested 11 men with and without Aires Shield. These cards summarize those studies; Maycee’s experience is described above. Explore the original research across physics and biology.

In Maycee’s Own Words: What Aires Means to Her

"It's something that shifted my entire mindset, my entire lifestyle. For me, the Aires effect is something simple and small that can change your entire world."
