Neurable
Everyday brain-computer interfaces.
Boston-based consumer-EEG company. Built a peri-auricular dry-electrode platform that records EEG from inside the ear cushions of off-the-shelf headphones — first as the Enten (2021), then licensed to Master & Dynamic for the MW75 Neuro (2023). Spinout of the University of Michigan Direct Brain Interface lab.

Reputation
Most-watched of the 'EEG-in-headphones' wave. Active member of the IEEE Brain consortium. Has deliberately positioned itself as a B2B sensor-platform play (licensing to Master & Dynamic) rather than a standalone consumer hardware brand.
