Yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the first human EEG recording by Hans Berger.
Today we’re excited to introduce Hans🧠, the world’s first affordable, research-grade, non-invasive mind reading EEG headset.
Hans can be used for a variety of EEG tasks, including
5. CALL TO ACTION
All of this starts with data. Hans allows us to affordably collect data at scale. Comparable 16-channel headsets from incumbent providers like OpenBCI cost $3699. We’re opening preorders for Hans at $499.
We own the entire design, prototype, manufacture,
3. DATA
We recently began data collection operations in San Francisco🌉. Our new facility can handle 10 concurrent participants wearing our Hans headsets. With this facility, we aim to reach over 10,000 hours of labeled data for language tasks by the end of the summer.
We will
2. SCIENCE
Our goal
@The_Mind_Co
is to build a silent thought💭 decoding model using EEG💡, and we are building on a series of EEG-to-Text research papers from the past few years:
—> In 2020, Holstein et. al. collected the ZuCo dataset: a corpus of labeled EEG data for reading
4. VISION
Currently, we are focusing on these types of linguistic tasks - smaller models that can detect features like sentiment or emotion. In the long run, we will develop silent thought decoding models that accurately transcribe your inner monologue.
These high-accuracy
