Region – Europe (Russia)

Founded: 2022

Technology: Neurofeedback, Brain-Computer Interfaces, AI, Biofeedback, VR

Problem solving

  1. Russian NeuroTech startup developing real-time neurofeedback and biofeedback technologies based on brain and muscle activity.
  2. Traditional neurofeedback systems can have significant delays between changes in brain activity and the feedback presented to the user, which can reduce training effectiveness.
  3. Brainstart develops low-latency neurofeedback technology that provides near-immediate feedback, allowing users to better understand and regulate their brain activity.
  4. The company's technology is being explored for applications including stress reduction, cognitive training, rehabilitation, sports performance, and next-generation prosthetics.

Value

  • The platform provides real-time feedback on brain activity, helping users learn to regulate their own brain activity.
  • Brainstart’s technology is designed to make neurofeedback faster and more responsive, improving the effectiveness of self-regulation training.
  • The technology can be applied across healthcare, rehabilitation, sports, business, and personal development.
  • The company is also developing VR-based neurotechnology for training users to control future-generation bionic prostheses.

Achievements

  • In 2023, Brainstart became a resident of the Skolkovo Technopark, with its iNeurofeedback technology developed by researchers from HSE University, AIRI, and the FMBA Center for Brain and Neurotechnology.
  • The company has received support from the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises and collaborates with HSE University, the HSE Center for Bioelectric Interfaces, and Skolkovo.
  • Brainstart is also developing MyoSprint VR Companion, a VR system combining electromyography, neural networks, and virtual reality to prepare users for controlling bionic upper-limb prostheses.
