5 Startups Breaking the Boundaries in Neurotechnology and Brain-Computer Interfaces Better Than Neuralink
More Machine learning and less chunky hardware
We all have seen this year the video on YouTube with Elon Musk the alive pig the brain implant connected to a computer. One of the speculations was that “it will create super-cognition” (whatever that means). Despite being more on the side of science-fiction and borderline with ethical approvals, everybody was talking about it.
In all this hype (more due to the figure of Elon Musk than real science), most of the people neglected two things: The annual Brain Computer Interface Award where scientists compete with their latest advancements in this topic, and the many startups which are actually creating more practical and innovative products than Neuralink in my opinion. For the latter, those names are BIOS, Wise, Cyborg, Newronika, BitBrain, CalaHealth, Cortec, NextMind, etc. Just to mention few. Some of these companies are focused on non-invasive EEG band solutions and others on invasive implants directly to the brain cortex similarly to NeuraLink.
BIOS
Formerly known as Cambridge Bio-Augmentation Systems, and based in Cambridge (UK), BIOS is proposing a full-stack neural interface software/hardware, meant as brain…
