A new neurotechnology startup wants to read brain activity with ultrasonic headphones, without implants
Translated title. Original: Una nueva startup de neurotecnología quiere leer la actividad cerebral con unos auriculares de ultrasonidos, sin necesidad de implantes
Bridge Neurotech aims to build a non-invasive, portable brain-computer interface using functional ultrasound (fUSI) to observe brain activity from outside the skull, addressing limitations of implanted electrodes and external EEG. The approach relies on blood flow changes to infer neural activity, faces skull-related imaging challenges, and plans AI-based delay compensation; a early study in California is underway with healthy participants and implant recipients.
