At Symbiote BCI, we’re on a mission to bring research-grade neurotechnology into high schools, universities, and research labs - so students, researchers, and dreamers can explore what’s possible when the human mind meets modern technology.

We just made $50,000 brain-reading equipment obsolete. Our headset, Symbiote Medusa achieves research-grade performance in a dorm room for less than 10% of traditional costs.

But here’s the real question: How does this help the average Joe? That’s what drives me. I’m taking on some of the toughest challenges in the non-invasive brain-computer interface industry, breaking down what’s holding it back today - and how close we actually are to a world where our thoughts can shape what we see and do through augmented reality.

It might be just around the corner. Or still a few breakthroughs away. Either way - we’re getting closer.
