Neuralink’s total corporate funding to date amounts to $9.3 million. In June 2021, they launched their Enten Headphones: Smart Headphones for Smarter Focus Habits on IndieGoGo which received $231,000 from 1,051 backers. Today, they are in conversations with various wings of the military to use Neurable devices to increase performance for the military with the goal of reducing training time. For them, that is creating cognitive measurement tools and developing a way to measure the brain’s emotional state, specifically designed for attention, which could be even more specifically defined and understood as “cognitive load.” The company made news in 2017 for inventing the world’s first brain-controlled virtual reality (VR) game where players wore an EEG headset while they sat in front of a computer and were asked to drive a remote-controlled car around with their minds. Neurable describes itself as a company focused on bringing technology from the lab into the real world so that neurotechnology is simple and accessible enough to use in your everyday life. Since its founding in 2016, Neuralink has received a total of $373 million in funding with the latest round raised on JNeurable The company has looked to academia to hire several high-profile neuroscientists who can lend their expertise to developing the new frontier of brain-machine interfaces. Ongoing projects seek to outfit the human brain with thin threadlike electrodes – sewing the ‘threads’ into the brain - so that the brain’s cells can be directly accessed and manipulated using artificial intelligence. They are building devices that will help people with paralysis, memory loss, hearing loss, blindness and other neurological problems. Neuralinkįounded by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the ultimate goal of Neuralink is to create a symbiosis between the human brain and AI, specifically merging computers with the human brain. Read on to learn more about seven companies focused on direct communication from human brains to machines and the technologies and approaches they are using to make the future arrive faster. In the private sector, a number of companies are working to develop effective brain-machine interfaces for a wide range of uses. In the public sector, initiatives such as the Human Brain Project have sought to accelerate research that can help us learn more about our own brains, in order to be able to better treat diseases and improve cognitive functioning. The latest trend in unlocking the mysteries of the mind is brain-computer interfaces. With approximately 100 billion neural connections, our brains are capable of processing billions of bits of information per second. Indeed, very little is known about that gray mass of cells in our skull that plays an important role in cognition regulation of heart, lung, and other systems and functions movement, and more. Many have said that the brain and mind are the final frontier of science.
