    I got to try their VR demo a little while ago - its amazing, I played the entire thing only using my thoughts to trigger actions. Training was really quick and it was weird how natural it was.

    I've met the Neurable guys a couple years ago at a pitch event. I recall seeing a presentation where Ramses controlled a vehicle using the headset as a basic directional input method. I believe they have a unique approach to signal processing which allows them to get good signal:noise compared to most other scalp EEG headsets. It'll be interesting to see what kind of applications they end up heading towards!

    Does anyone know how this hardware stacks up (price/performance) with nuerosity's headset?

    I'd be interested in code running on events but would like to know how many different event types are these headsets are capable of handling.

    So... can anyone here say that these EEG headsets actually work and do something practical? How does it compare to OpenBCI, which has 2 times the number of sensors?

    Is there any work on long-term implantable technology? Not necessarily cranial, just in general as a precursor.

    As far as I'm aware, the body eventually rejects or forms limiting scar tissue around pretty much all foreign bodies, with only a few exceptions. Because while I am not going to be signing up for sub-cranial implants any time soon, I could possibly be willing to try sub-dermal if there were promising results.

    Wow, I did my undergrad EE with Ramses at UW! Good to see his company seems to be doing well!
