Neurable, a BCI startup, is licensing its non-invasive 'mind-reading' technology for consumer wearables like headphones and hats.

Summary

Neurable, a brain-computer interface (BCI) startup, is looking to license its non-invasive 'mind-reading' technology to consumer wearable manufacturers. Unlike invasive BCI like Neuralink, Neurable's technology uses EEG sensors and AI to analyze brain activity without surgery. The company recently raised $35 million and aims to integrate its technology into health, athletic, productivity, and gaming products, allowing OEMs to embed it into devices like headphones, hats, and glasses while retaining control over their products. Neurable has previously partnered with HP's HyperX for a gaming headset and iMotions for research. CEO Ramses Alcaide stated the company is focused on scaling its technology to be as ubiquitous as heart rate sensors and emphasized strong privacy protections, including data anonymization, encryption, and HIPAA compliance, with user consent required for data usage in AI training.
