Update from colleague at Cognixion, developers of Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) for people with severe disabilities.
Hi Franz,
I wanted to share some great news. We recently closed a $1million seed angel round in less than 72 hours. The angel group was assembled and led by Tom Washing of Sequel Venture Partners. The use of proceeds is to accelerate our BCI (Brain Computer Interface) solution that enables people with severe disabilities to speak using only their brainwaves. We are also changing our company name from Smartstones to Cognixion™, to better reflect our vision and value proposition of becoming the cognitive layer to the internet - translating bio-signals like brainwaves into meaning and communication.
“Andreas has assembled a great team and Cognixion’s technology is on the cutting edge of the quickly developing BCI space. Our group is very excited to join this highly promising venture,” said Washing.
Almost $1 billion has been invested into brain computer interface startups in the last 6 months to a year, and because many these big bets are to build high fidelity hardware and sensing technology, our platform is perfectly suited to integrate brainwaves from ANY BCI company. We will be integrating other BCI device partners with our brainwave pattern recognition software to unleash their potential. Further, we have begun building out our A.I./data science and development team in Toronto, Ontario, and are developing key academic, scientific, clinical and commercial partnerships soon to be announced.
As our vision has evolved, our mission has remained the same. Bring the brightest minds together to create solutions that can unlock a chorus of 370 million nonverbal humans - allowing them to express themselves, their ideas and engage with society in ways never before thought possible.
Cognixion is operating at the intersection of Neuro-technology, Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Humanity/Reality, and is helping increase human capacity and capabilities with augmentative technology.
We will be sharing more information as appropriate, but are operating in a relatively quiet/stealth mode as we fortify our platform, partnerships and distribution.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
