Synaptrix Labs, a startup specializing in wearable brain-computer interface technology, recently received seed funding from Mark Cuban to boost its commercial progress.
The company’s Neuralis wearable BCI headset targets the motor cortex using dry sensors and on-device signal processing to translate EEG signals into precise wheelchair navigation commands. Synaptrix Labs is focusing on wheelchair users as its initial market through a clinical trial with Columbia University.
Powered by NeuroDiffusion, an AI platform enabling the development of clinical and consumer applications, Synaptrix Labs is paving the way for advancements in neurotechnology markets. CEO and co-founder Aryan Govil emphasized the importance of deep learning in the future of neurotech, highlighting the significance of AI in signal processing over invasive implants or custom sensors.
