For the peripheral nervous system, devices include: Epineurial and extraneural interfaces, Penetrating interfaces, Regenerative interfaces, Hybrid interfaces. | | **Non-Invasive Neurotechnology** | Non-invasive neurotech devices and neuroimaging techniques include: Electroencephalography (EEG), Electromyography (EMG), Electroneurography (ENG), Magnetoencephalography (MEG), Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS). | | **Market Segments** | The neurotechnology market is divided into four segments: neuroprosthetics, neuromodulation, neurorehabilitation, and neurosensing. The largest segment is neuromodulation, followed by neuroprosthetics and neurosensing. | | **Growth Factors** | The neurotechnology market is expected to experience significant growth due to the increasing prevalence of neurological disorders and conditions, demographic shifts in the aging population, increased life expectancy, and demand for a higher quality of life by senior citizens. Technological advancements in neurotech devices and increasing awareness and funding in the field also contribute to the market's growth. | | **Ethical Considerations** | As neurotechnology interventions can change the brain and its functions, ethical considerations must be taken into account when developing and implementing these technologies. Invasive neurotechnologies are ethically justified only if they result in the successful treatment of severe brain diseases. | | **Future Developments** | The future of neurotechnology involves the development of non-invasive or minimally invasive deep brain stimulation techniques, such as focused ultrasound (FUS) and transcranial infrared (TI) stimulation. These techniques have the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation. | | Company | Headsets | Channels | Applications | Additional Features | |----------|----------|----------|--------------|---------------------| | [[Emotiv]] | Emotiv Epoc, Emotiv Insight, Emotiv EPOC X | 14 (Epoc X), 5 (Insight) | Research, Programming | Suitable for research purposes, compared to medical-grade EEG devices | | [[NexStem]] | Comfortable headset with medical-grade signals | Not specified | Custom applications | Easy-to-use SDK, extensible and interoperable platform | | [[Neurosity]] | Neurosity Crown | Not specified | Productivity, Focus enhancement | Measures brain waves, plays music to enhance focus, dashboards and Neurosity App | ## old https://brainamics.de/ https://newronika.com/ https://brainsatplay.com/ ## neurosity https://neurosity.co/ Neurosity is a company that develops neural devices and applications for mental health diagnosis and medical intervention. Some of its top competitors include Neuphony, Neuralink, and Kernel[3]. Neuphony is a technology startup focused on wearable devices, developing products for wellness and meditation[3]. It is based in Noida, India. Neuralink, founded by Elon Musk, develops ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) to connect humans and computers, aiming to create implantable devices[3]. Kernel is a human intelligence company that develops brain-based biomarkers to improve patient care and optimize treatments[3]. Other alternatives and competitors to Neurosity include Mubert, Noisli, and focusmusic.fm[5]. These alternatives are mainly focused on providing background music and ambient sounds to enhance focus and productivity, rather than offering neural devices like Neurosity[6]. Neurosity's main product, the Crown, is a wearable device that helps users achieve and maintain a focused state[8]. The device has been compared to Elon Musk's Neuralink, but it is considered less advanced and does not require surgery[12]. Grimes, a musician and former partner of Elon Musk, has used a custom version of the Crown to control a computer mouse with her brain[12].

The exact number of people who own a brain-computer interface (BCI) like Neurosity, OpenBCI, Kernel, and others is not readily available. However, we can gather some information from various sources. According to a report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, fewer than 40 people worldwide have implanted BCIs, all of them experimental[2]. Additionally, close to 200,000 people in the U.S. have cochlear implants, which are a type of BCI[10]. As for specific companies, it is difficult to determine the exact number of users or device owners. For instance, Kernel Group Holdings has 52.21% institutional shareholders, 4.50% Kernel Group Holdings insiders, and 43.29% retail investors[1]. However, this information does not directly translate to the number of BCI device owners. Similarly, information about Neurosity and OpenBCI's user base is not readily available in the provided search results[3][4]. Despite the lack of exact figures, it is evident that BCIs are still in the early stages of development and adoption. The technology holds great potential for helping people with disabilities and enhancing human-computer interactions, but it remains largely experimental[2]. As the technology advances and becomes more accessible, the number of BCI users is expected to grow.
