12 Emerging Companies to Watch in Neurotech Space
Brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies are rapidly becoming the spotlight of the neurotech industry, with Neuralink at the forefront. Recently, Neuralink implanted its first brain chip in a human, marking a significant milestone in human-computer interaction. This implant allows users to control devices with their thoughts, with potential future applications in curing blindness and neuron damage.
A close rival, Synchron, has just announced an innovative use of its BCI system, enabling a patient with ALS to control the Apple Vision Pro using only brain signals. This breakthrough allows for hands-free and voice-free interaction, enhancing accessibility for those with severe motor impairments. The Synchron BCI, implanted through a minimally invasive procedure, detects and transmits motor intent from the brain to control digital interfaces (Med Xpress).
But here, I decided to summarize some lesser-known emerging players in the neurotech space, which are developing intriguing technologies worth keeping an eye on.
