This startup is building a brain-reading device to take on Elon Musk's Neuralink
Last year, Elon Musk came on stage to talk about his ambitious brain-interface company Neuralink, and sold people dreams of controlling an iPhone using only your brain. Now, the company has a new competitor in a New York-based company called Neurosity, which released its own device called Notion today for developers.
The company was founded by AJ Keller, a former Boeing employee, who worked on robots, and Alex Castillo, an ex-Netflix engineer in 2018. Last year, the company showed off its Notion device for the first time.
The founders told me that their concept is not too much different from what Neuralink is doing. Just like the Musk-backed company, Neurosity wants to enable actions through brain waves. But you don't have to implant a chip in your brain to begin controlling things.
