Precision Neurotechnologies
Backed by £69m, this programme aims to unlock new methods to interface with the human brain at the circuit level, with unprecedented precision.
Meet the R&D Creators
We're funding 19 teams with expertise across a myriad of disciplines and a strong institutional mix, spanning academia, non-profit R&D organisations, and startups. This portfolio of teams cuts across four workstreams: non-invasive interfaces, remote interfaces, biological interfaces, and future adoption of novel neurotechnologies
Together, they'll unlock new ways to interface with the brain at the circuit level, understand the human challenges to adoption, and design future technologies for greater inclusivity and equity.
*Some teams are subject to contract negotiation.
1 | Non-invasive interfaces
We're funding four teams to develop cutting-edge technologies to read and modulate brain activity through electrical and acoustic fields, without direct brain contact.
