Mesotron Raises Pre-Seed Funding for High-Sensitivity EEG-Based Silent Speech BCI

Summary

Japanese startup Mesotron raised pre-seed funding to develop a non-invasive brain-computer interface combining a high-sensitivity wearable EEG device with AI-based neural decoding, aiming to let users interact with computers without moving or speaking. The company plans to use the funding to develop a next-generation high-sensitivity EEG device, accumulate roughly 10,000 hours of EEG data across US and Japan sites, and strengthen its development toward practical "silent speech" applications.
