Problem
Individuals with motor impairments face challenges in interacting with technology due to limited conventional interaction methods. This restricts their ability to engage with devices and diminishes their overall quality of life.
Solution
Nexstem provides non-invasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) solutions that utilize electroencephalography (EEG) to capture and analyze brain signals, enabling users to interact with technology using their thoughts. The Instinct headset, part of Nexstem's BCI technology ecosystem, records, visualizes, and analyzes EEG data, allowing users to develop unique use cases. The headset runs a custom-developed OS for bio-signal processing and analysis, and pre-bundled apps offer sophisticated BCI functionalities right out of the box. The 19-channel EEG headset features motorized electrodes for quick setup and on-board signal processing capabilities.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes researchers, developers, and consumers interested in brain-controlled technology, as well as individuals with motor impairments, healthcare providers, and those in the gaming and e-sports industries.
