Cerebionics wants to turn human intent into commands for machines
Sometimes you hear about a startup doing something just so completely out of left field that you have to find out more. For me, that startup is Cerebionics. What started as Norwegian founder Agnessa Pedersen building drawing robots as a teenager has evolved into a brain-computer interface (BCI) platform she has spent months testing and refining with users in Ukraine. I met with Pedersen at the recent TechBBQ conference to learn more. I’ve always been interested in BCI. I’ve visited automotive companies using BCI to test driver response times for new software. I also once interviewed a designer working on an idea to enable people with quadriplegia to operate vehicles using BCI — from turning on the radio to more functional tasks and eventually steering the car. I had many emails from people with quadriplegia telling me how much they missed driving. Crucially, non-invasive BCI doesn't need to reproduce fine motor control to be useful — it only needs to reliably capture intent, and Pedersen is taking that proposition out of the lab and into demanding real-world environments. From drawing robots to brain-computer interfaces Pedersen describes her foray into BCI as “super random.” In middle school and high school, she...
