Problem solving
- Russian NeuroTech startup developing real-time neurofeedback and biofeedback technologies based on brain and muscle activity.
- Traditional neurofeedback systems can have significant delays between changes in brain activity and the feedback presented to the user, which can reduce training effectiveness.
- Brainstart develops low-latency neurofeedback technology that provides near-immediate feedback, allowing users to better understand and regulate their brain activity.
- 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.
