BCI startup Neurable looks to license its ‘mind-reading’ tech for consumer wearables

BCI (brain-computer interface) technology — in which neural signals are routed from a person’s head to a computer — was once the stuff of science fiction, but these days the technology represents a competitive corner of the tech industry. One of the companies racing to commercialize BCI is Neurable, which this week announced that it’s looking to license its “mind-reading” technology to consumer wearables. Neurable specializes in “non-invasive” BCI, which distinguishes itself from firms like Neuralink—the Elon Musk-founded startup known for inserting computer chips directly into people’s skulls—in that its product doesn’t require users to undergo brain surgery to enjoy its benefits.
