Singer Matt Bellamy has invested in a British start-up which is developing a brain-sensing headband
A British start-up developing a brain-sensing headband has secured $5m in funding from Silicon Valley venture capital firms and investors including the frontman of rock band Muse.
London-based MindPortal says it has developed a headset that uses light signals to measure brainwaves in a way that is up to a hundred times more accurate than EEG devices, which use electrodes to detect activity.
It says the headsets, which it hopes to start making in 2023, could be used to control virtual reality software, robots or drones. Ultimately, the company claims it could augment the human mind by altering brain activity with software, changing perception or improving memory.
