They have qualified personnel to work on the project but more specific areas of responsibility are not in the proposal. Their overall financial state is very little dependent on this funding and we can expect ongoing iteration and improvement of the service. 

    Desirability

    Unlike some other biosignals, EEG measurements are not yet too common among everyday people. However, there is a great untapped value when including EEG signals into holistic analysis of human health. There are also targeted problems to be solved and potential performance improvements in many areas of life by using EEG analytics. The current trend is and the state of technological development is moving towards increasing EEG utilization and the proposed service is well aligned with these developments.

     

    Usefulness

    There are many healthcare apps out there, also in the SNET ecosystem, that will need to integrate EEG components into their systems. All the web3 and biomedical AI innovations are backing this individual service as well. The funding request for this project is focusing purely on the AI service itself instead of the end-user application or service design.

    What applications and devices do you think will be the ones that bring crowds into wearing EEG sensors? I mean people don’t use EEG devices as they use watches or rings. Maybe it will change in the future if there are applications attractive enough with benefits high enough from using them. I guess there are some semi handy ear devices currently(?) If we think about the person’s general health questions, such as balanced dopamine responses that enable them to concentrate, work, study, stay patient and positive, what kind of data and applications are needed? I use a headband for guided meditation but it is very different from EEG when attending team sports or gaming. My intuition is that much of the value from EEG data materializes when the underlying activity or task is known.      Also, my understanding is that sensor tech is advancing rapidly so that in the near future we can expect much more accurate, reasonably-cost consumer devices. I don’t know what I’m trying to really ask. I’m just trying to get some kind of understanding of what could be realistically expected from the coming years. People are losing their ability to do deep work, videos have to be shorter than 30 sec and they don’t know why they are depressed. There is so much to win in this field by building incentives that overcome the habit of addictive shallow engagement and empower people. I really like this project and wish you a lot of success!      And the final question: How long do you expect the project to take before the first version of the service would be on the SNET marketplace? Thanks!

      1. Applications and Devices for EEG Sensors: Indeed, the evolution of wearable technology is a great example of how sensors can become part of everyday life. A decade ago, heart rate sensors were primarily used in clinical settings. Now, they are integrated into fitness trackers and smartwatches. Modern EEG devices are becoming more compact and user-friendly, embedded in headbands, helmets, and even earphones. These innovations make the technology more accessible. Potential everyday applications include Activity Trackers (monitoring brain activity), Productivity Assistants (enhancing focus and managing stress), and Mental Health Tools (offering insights into emotional states and cognitive functions). As the technology advances, its benefits will become more apparent, driving broader adoption.     2. Data and Applications for General Health Questions: Your intuition is correct; the value of EEG data significantly increases when contextualized with the underlying activity or task. Our platform leverages machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to identify patterns associated with specific emotions and cognitive states. We provide Emotion and Cognitive State Analysis, Contextual Insights (optimizing routines for better concentration and positivity), and Personalized Recommendations (balancing dopamine responses, improving focus, and managing stress).     3. Advancements in Sensor Technology: You are right; sensor technology is advancing rapidly. Earlier EEG devices were bulky and uncomfortable. With advancements in electronics and material science, we now have compact BCI devices with soft electrodes, suitable for long-term wear. These advancements will help users track their mental states, identify stressors, and understand their cognitive patterns, building healthier habits and promoting deeper, more meaningful engagement.     4. Project Timeline: We will update on this shortly.

    Great growth drivers

    Feasibility

    There is nothing mysterious in the technological design of the service that is going to use standard machine learning techniques. There are not many moving components as this is not about direct consumer attraction or deep backend architectures. Data is to be retrieved from public sources. 

    However, the level of efficacy of the service in the beginning is not obvious to me before the actual launch. Some application domains will be much more viable than others and it may take time for many of them to come into fruition.

     

    Viability

    Skybrain Neurotech is a serious business entity with a grand related infrastructure in production. They have qualified personnel to work on the project but more specific areas of responsibility are not in the proposal. Their overall financial state is very little dependent on this funding and we can expect ongoing iteration and improvement of the service. 

    Desirability

    Unlike some other biosignals, EEG measurements are not yet too common among everyday people. However, there is a great untapped value when including EEG signals into holistic analysis of human health. There are also targeted problems to be solved and potential performance improvements in many areas of life by using EEG analytics. The current trend is and the state of technological development is moving towards increasing EEG utilization and the proposed service is well aligned with these developments.

     

    Usefulness

    There are many healthcare apps out there, also in the SNET ecosystem, that will need to integrate EEG components into their systems. All the web3 and biomedical AI innovations are backing this individual service as well. The funding request for this project is focusing purely on the AI service itself instead of the end-user application or service design.
