BCI (brain-computer interface) technology—where neural signals travel from a person’s brain to a computer—has moved from science fiction to a competitive industry. One company racing to commercialize it is Neurable, which this week announced plans to license its non-invasive "mind-reading" technology for consumer wearables.
Neurable specializes in extracting neural data through sensors that don't require surgery. The company's CEO believes this approach could enable a wide range of everyday applications, from controlling devices with thoughts to monitoring cognitive states.
By licensing its platform to wearables manufacturers, Neurable aims to bring BCI features to products like smart glasses, earbuds, and fitness trackers without building its own hardware. The move could accelerate adoption of neural interfaces in consumer electronics.
