Hey Lisa and David!
I’m reaching out regarding a project that you might be interested in.
Previously I applied on Manifold for a grant for programming a phone to track GPS on a solar powered TuckTuck with Solar4Africa, and over the past three months, I’ve been working with a team to develop a novel Electroencephalogram.
Our team is called Monolith BCI (on Twitter), and we are creating a novel PCB design and ML model to process electrical signals generated by large clumps of neurons in the brain with an EEG. Henry is working on the ML model (Bramble), as well as a bunch of parts of the project, Cheru and JC designed the PCB with 0 PCB experience before this project. I’m creating a research paper, and dataset (FLUX- the Framework for Learning and Understanding Cortex Activity) to help fine-tune our LLM model.
We’ll be in SF for our 3rd sprint from Feb 24th-March 4th and would love to chat. We have a working v2.0 of our PCB (Trillium) which has 8 channels. By the end of our 3rd sprint goal is to have our own PCB working with our ML model to play Tetris and Pong without using EMG signals (we’ve already successfully used four modalities- jaw clench, blinking, focus, and non-focus), but all of these rely on EMG signals, and our product will only be viable once we’re able to capture thoughts alone- but we believe we’re really close to getting there.
Let us know if you’d like to chat!
