Neurosity

Neurosity is a company that has developed a non-invasive wearable device called the Crown, which leverages electroencephalography (EEG) technology to measure brain activity and enhance mental states and productivity. The Crown employs eight EEG sensors and an onboard processor to track the user's brainwaves, particularly gamma waves associated with heightened cognitive function. It then uses personalized music and vibrations to induce an optimal state of focus and concentration, reducing the time required to enter a flow state from 25 minutes to just five minutes, according to the company.

Neurosity's approach is centered on the belief that individuals should have access to their brain data and the ability to optimize their mental health without relying on medication. The company's mission is to make neurotechnology as ubiquitous as smartphones within the next five years, aiming to provide an alternative to stimulants like Adderall or caffeine for enhancing productivity.

The Crown device connects to the Neurosity Shift app, which receives the brainwave data and provides real-time feedback to the user. Over time, the app's AI-guided NeuroAdaptive technology learns the user's unique neural signature and fine-tunes the music and vibrations accordingly. Neurosity has reported positive impacts on focus and productivity within just two minutes of use for 80% of its users across 56 countries.

Key customers and partnerships

Neurosity's customer base includes individuals seeking to manage cognitive disorders like ADHD, as well as those aiming to improve their focus and productivity in various fields, such as programming and development. Notable personalities who have used the Crown include musician Grimes, who reported using the device to control a computer cursor with her mind.

The company has partnered with Divergence, a neurofeedback training project, to offer personalized programs and professional coaching to its users. Neurosity also encourages developers and researchers to build upon its technology by providing a Software Development Kit (SDK) for aspiring "neurohackers."
