Neurable CEO Ramses Alcaide has a mission: bring neurotechnology out of research labs — and surgical suites — and into everyday life.
He envisions a future where the neurotechnology that allows Neurable’s products to read brainwaves via electrical signals — without surgical implants — is used to track cognitive capability and mental health, like a Fitbit for the brain.
Their current device, still only available as a preorder, is a set of headphones, called Enten. The headphones are designed to read electrical signals produced by neurons in your brain, a technique called electroencephalography, or EEG for short.
Neurable claims that the EEG sensors inside the normal-looking headphone’s ear cups can detect brain activity, which its proprietary algorithms — named after Pokemon — can read, analyze, and decode. The idea is to provide insights in focus and neural activity from, and for, people in daily life.
