Hemispheric Emerges from Stealth with $52M in Funding to Launch Descartes, the First Frontier NeuroAI Model for Decoding the Human Brain

Summary

Israeli NeuroAI company Hemispheric emerged from six years of stealth with $52 million in early-stage funding to launch Descartes, a six-billion-parameter foundation model trained on more than 250,000 hours of multimodal EEG and behavioral data from over 100,000 participants. The model translates noninvasive brain activity into quantitative insights for clinicians and researchers across healthcare and life sciences.
