Neurable Aims to License Its Non-Invasive BCI ‘Mind-Reading’ Tech for Consumer Wearables

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Technology, once a staple of science fiction, has evolved into a competitive sector of the tech industry. Among the companies pushing for commercial adoption is Neurable, which recently announced plans to license its “mind-reading” technology for use in consumer wearables.

Unlike Neuralink—the Elon Musk-backed startup that requires surgical implantation of chips into the skull—Neurable focuses on non-invasive BCI. Its system combines EEG sensors and AI-driven signal processing to scan and analyze neural ACTivity, delivering insights into a user’s cognitive performance without the need for brain surgery.

In December, Neurable raised $35 million in Series A funding to scale commercialization. This week, as part of its expansion, the company said it is seeking to license its technology to consumer-facing brands across multiple sectors, including health and atHLEtic products, Productivity Tools, and gaming.

According to a press release, “Through Neurable’s licensing platform, OEMs can directly integrate its AI-powered brain-sensing technology into existing hardware, such as headphones, hats, glasses, and headbands, while maintaining full control over product design, user experience, and distribution.”

Neurable has already tested its technology through partnerships, including with HP Inc.’s HyperX gaming brand to develop a headset aimed at helping gamers improve focus and performance. It has also partnered with iMotions, a human behavior research software platform, to support research initiatives.

In an interview, CEO Ramses Alcaide deCLIned to name new partners but stated the company is broadening its focus. “In the past, we were very specific about our Partnerships,” he said, noting that the strategy was to prove indiVidual commercial APPlications. Now, with traction established, the startup aims to scale. “Let’s make this as ubiquitous as heart rate sensors on your wrist,” Alcaide added.

On privacy—an important concern given the intimacy of brain data—Alcaide said Neurable ensures data is “protected and anonymized.” The company follows HIPAA standards, encrypts data, and goes beyond typical startup practices to safeguard user Information. Regarding AI training, he confirmed that neural data is only used with explicit user consent for specific experiments. “We are not collecting the data just training on it willy nilly,” he said.
