What would you ask your brain? These are questions, not promises that a device can answer them today. As a founder, I start with the question a person cares about, not the sensor. If you could ask one question, what would it be? Not a medical device.

Your brain is filling a gap in what you see. Close your left eye, look at the dot, and move your phone closer, then farther. At one distance the cross vanishes. That's your blind spot. Did the cross vanish for you? General information, not medical advice. Not a medical device.

What good is brain technology if the people who need it cannot use it? I was a first generation college student, and was told brain computer interfaces could not work outside a lab. Both shape my question as a founder: is this useful on an ordinary day? Not a medical device.

About 100 adults aged 60 to 90 learned photography, quilting, or both. On a memory test they improved more than groups doing easier tasks. One study, not proof. Source: Park et al. 2014 What would you learn? General information, not medical advice. Not a medical device.

A consumer EEG is not a thought recorder. It's a microphone at a stadium: it hears the crowd, not each private conversation. What brain tech claim should I unpack next? Not a medical device.

Most consumer brain tech makes you choose. It works, or it looks good. Neurable built core technology that can go into products people already wear, like headphones, glasses and helmets. #neurotech #Neurable

Siri Suggestions are the most honest PMF test I know. Nobody asks you anything, it just watches what your thumb opens. Mine: 3 AI agents, Maps, YouTube, WhatsApp, Uber and our own Neurable One. If your product lands on your users' list, you have PMF.

Is AI making you dumber? Personally, I don't think so. AI is like a personal assistant. How much it takes over is your choice. What will you do with the time AI gives you?

Before your next walk, notice how you feel. Check again after. Same route, a few days. The CDC says moderate to vigorous activity can reduce short term feelings of anxiety in adults. General information, not medical advice. Not a medical device.

Your brain is an upstream signal. That changes what a wearable can do. Real time brain output plus visual and audio cues can help a player cut reaction time while improving accuracy. Not a medical device. #neurotech #Neurable

Setting up an EEG sucks. The everyday living human has not been mapped cognitively. We just didn't have the form factors, the signal processing, the machine learning until recently. General information, not medical advice. Not a medical device.

Forgot a word? One lapse can be ordinary. Getting lost somewhere familiar or repeating the same question are reasons to talk with a clinician, per the National Institute on Aging. General information, not medical advice. Not a medical device.
Your dad didn't answer at a noisy dinner. Did he forget, or not hear you? Hearing loss is common in older adults, per the National Institute on Aging. Try face to face, less noise. General information, not medical advice. Not a medical device.

Would you wear it tomorrow? That's the question I ask about Neurable One. A demo can be exciting for five minutes. Daily life is the real test. What makes tech stick in your routine? Not a medical device.

Brain Age and cognitive strain. With cognitive strain you can track the buildup of exhaustion throughout your day. The most popular one is called Brain Age. Not a medical device. General information, not medical advice. #neurotech #brainhealth

Your brain: "I can focus." Your Focus score: 12. Neurable One shows your focus as it happens and tells you when it's time for a break. Even when your brain swears it's fine. checkout.neurable.com/produc…

I know what I'd want my brain to tell me each morning: my best hour today. I'd keep it clear for the hardest problem. That's the note I want to build toward. If you knew your best hour, what would you do to move it? Not a medical device. General information, not medical advice.

A tool that only works for a few people has not finished its job. That is the bar I want our team to hold. We're still working toward it. What technology will become valuable to you only once it becomes accessible?

Can BCIs be used with LLMs to make a personalized smart assistant? You reply to a text in a simple way and the LLM fills in the gaps. Add a layer of brain information, even a little bit, and it can create a dramatic result in the output. Not a medical device. #BCI #neurotech

We measured the same person's brain in a booth built for performance and in an open plan office. The designed space came out ahead on energy, clarity, focus and calmness. Where does your brain do its best work?
