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.

Each year, we participate in our parent organization NeurotechX’s Open Challenge where we are tasked with using EEG data to build a software-based solution to a neuroscience problem. We are currently working on a variety of software based projects ranging from learning tools to music selection. On the hardware front, we’re developing custom, non-invasive neural interfaces: EMG-based wristband, EOG-based eye-tracking headset, and a flexible EEG headset.
