Software & Devices

Products for the mind, by the mind. Our devices and software divisions aim to help members develop the skills to design products for the future.

Purpose


Neurotechnology’s potential to improve lives is unmatched. Neurotech@Berkeley is committed to building innovative, impactful software and hardware solutions to big problems.

Our Devices Division is developing custom, non-invasive neural interfaces to experiment with new ways of interfacing with computers, augment human capabilities, and innovate new forms of prosthetics. Some of our devices, such as our EMG-based wristband (NeuroWrist) and our fully-customizable EEG headset (NeuroMorph), are used by the software division to collect data!
Our Software Division uses different forms of neural data, such as those from EEG, MRI, and fNIRS, to build software-based solutions to a neuroscience problems. We currently have a wide variety of projects, ranging from eye-tracking typing methods to brain-state-controlled music selection algorithms.
