Neurable CEO Ramses Alcaide has a mission: bring neurotechnology out of research labs - and surgical suites - and into everyday life.
He envisions a future where the neurotechnology that allows Neurable’s products to read brainwaves via electrical signals - without surgical implants - is used to track cognitive capability and mental health, like a Fitbit for the brain.
Their current device, still only available as a preorder, is a set of headphones, called Enten. The headphones are designed to read electrical signals produced by neurons in your brain, a technique called electroencephalography, or EEG for short.
Neurable claims that the EEG sensors inside the normal-looking headphone’s ear cups can detect brain activity, which its proprietary algorithms - named after Pokemon - can read, analyze, and decode. The idea is to provide insights in focus and neural activity from, and for, people in daily life.

Would you use these headphones?
Morally wrong! This, AI, spying, and much more should all be universally banned.
This - goodbye freewill/free thought. No bright/unique idea will be yours. Instead a nasty corporation will monetize on it immediately. You're just a work horse.
AI - bye bye innovation/creativity/originality. With this technology, it will eventually pump out more "ideas", then the whole human populous. What will come of us?
Spying - All that was mentioned above, is practically this. They have been doing this for decades but picked up greately around 2010. What is life when all of this picks up pace and is standardized? What is the point of existing if you are no different to cattle?
Absolutely! This is the future, connecting neurology with technology. This being a beta model is the first step in a serious scalability of innovation. The future of this tech is inevitable, and has tons of real world application. Imagine this and running AI models with the data, we could help you pin point strong suits in your thinking patterns, helping people decipher themselves and patterns in their behaviors, or people with disabilities, the future of this could allow a quadriplegic to drive a car
@@PlattyPlayer Your opinion is the typical opinion of a linear viewing, money angst and driven - corporate shull.
"Say hello to a world where you cannot make your own genuine choices, and is puppeteered by a miniscule group of hard-boiled braniacs, because the indulging of inanimate objects are the true meaning of life".
Everyone is "happy", because everyone gets what they want, what a utopia it is going to be in a few decades.
@@PlattyPlayer And I am aware of the benefits, but lets be real, it is going to go to the direction where it fully secures what is left of us, that makes us, us. Some boundaries should not be crossed.
@@anadventfollower1181 I see your perspective and while the idea may be intrusive. I know myself I couldn’t do anything with the data. I’m open to being an individual who allows them to see, as I hope their intentions are pure to help better quality of life for others. To make the world more equal. With my data they can refine and produce stronger correlations, discoveries that I hope lead to a more prosperous and thoughtful future. The exploration of neurological activity may help us battle serious mental diseases and illnesses. I don’t think they want the data just to market to me better
You're not focusing on your corporate job. The headphones reported you!
Oof
🤖You have been day dreaming your pay has been adjusted.
This thing is already happening in some schools in china where kids distracted the headband indicates red if you are concentrated it indicates green and the data sent in real time to their parents phone it is a real mess
Well said
@@Seasonednuts-iv5gd You beat me to it. Good to see someone else who knows it.
The device doesn't have the ability to work without the cloud / company servers. They WILL sell your data. They DIDN'T say that they won't. Watch it again.
Delos & the WESTWORLD Series comes to mind!
That & the Comedy Central Skit from Ronnie Chang: "I want it now, not 5 mins from not, not an Hour,....I want it before I even think about it, Put it in my hand!"
Literally
You are on CZcams. They probably sell your data too.
Don't forget corrupted governments and massive corporations - they will rob you and use it to manipulate you
CZcams is selling your data and running their algorithms on every video you've ever watched is a million times more personal then a graph of your attention span going up and down from these guys
I will never again trust any headphones provided to me by my employer.
It's not that bad
As many have pointed out: the tech itself is fantastic, however, there is no way in hell that I’m giving companies such as Meta - or any other social media company for that matter - access to such level of detail. There is, after all, a reason why we are seeing a shift, albeit slow, on people’s trust regarding products such as Meta and Google.
Faxs
It is going there any ways, because; money. All information about you, is needed to target all preferable ads and 'predict', your actions. 'Freedom', is mostly gone now, and will be extinct in a few decades. No such thing as "start-up buisnesses", or "orginal ________". When you think gangs, cartels, mafias, and crazy governments are bad, Meta/Google is all that but on steroids. "What? Is someting wong? You have no FB Acc? No social media? No worry no worry", *proceeds to send thieving/eavesdropping rodenta humanoids to spy and take in confidential information while stealing your intellectual property and passing it as "theirs"*.
These individuals who are tasked to this scumbaggery, are not "people/human", in my eyes. Well, lets see how fast this world goes to doo doo in a few decades.
yeah , I don't want them to know that my dogs name is bogo or that I don't clean my room for months , if such information gets out my life would be completely ruined .
They are already using this technology on people without their consent!!
The UK Government and their affiliates have already invaded the privacy of my thoughts and tried to brianwash me in a totalitarian attack and rape of my mind.
MKUltra plus neurotechnology.
You can analyse your own thoughts without this bullshit technology designed to ROB YOU of your most basic human rights. This is all about CONTROL.
It's not only Tech companies, but its the billionaires already raping this planet, the corrupted governments, authoritarian regimes, and psychopaths with too much power world over.
Please read 1984.
Can't wait to get emails from my boss complaining that my frontal lobe activity metrics were low this week
Data from this can be used to reject your job applications if your brain doesn't meet minimum focus standards.
And if the government decides you are having inappropriate thoughts then a small charge of ..... ?
And then it'll be used to analyze exactly what you like and create algorithms to make us human bots. Hell yeah this product could be used for a lot of good, but a lot more bad. We've heard the "we respect your data" before, and you could clearly tell he was trying to word it differently. This is a company that sells product to other companies. Data is the product. Stay cleer of these products
That ship has sailed. This is only one more step in refinement.
Question what would you have us as humanity do? Just stay the same for our existence? Or do you just want this technology to be used right. Or are you just against this technology but arent against others?
@@kongesnok if I stay where I am , I will starve to death won't I ?
They already do that , Every one of your tap and google search is monitored , its too late to think about this stuff now , they already know what you like and what you don't , in fact even this video was recommended to you after monitoring your interests for months LMAO 'loser'
@@shukrantpatil How old are you to write such a pitifully ignorant counter example?
ok but we have to make sure that they have good ethics team and also we need to make sure that the right amount of regulations are in place. My issue is not with technology which is a sword that could do great good or great evil. Its the intent on how the technology is used that matters
Exactly
Lol, that's not been naive, anything like this that gets developed is going to end up being used to exploit humans for every dollar, as required to achieve quarterly growth targets by whoever the owner is. Google one started with high-minded ideals, it all just becomes another Facebook in the end.
I doubt the ethics part. Because I'm already a victim, and lost my privacy 😢
This tecnology cannot be trusted in any hands, no matter how 'ethical' you think they are. It is a one way trip to totalitarianism.
Not to mention most the people in any positions of power right now are corrupted and are epsteins clients.
The UK Government has already used this technology on me witout my consent to seek to brainwash me. It is an absolute evil, no way can we ever justify this technology in society.
Until we get paid as individuals for our personal data going to these companies, I'm not on board. We need more control over which companies are allowed to use our data, and how our data is used.
Exactly. They need to drop checks in the mail to everyone or they can mind their own business
This is all about Mind Control - the theft of your most basic human rights.
maybe I need go patent a new type of firewall
If they can read your emotion, what will stop them from playing you like a psychic marionette? This is worse than GhoulGhoul glass, but for your conscious being.
all about brainwashing and control, its grotesque. This technology cannot exist
I would use this. As a programmer, I can see how this can help me and I can also see how the technology could help so many others as it matures.
then they will steal and copyright your ideas before you have the chance to create it. Pure theft & totalitarianism.
As a schizophrenic, I would love for people to see inside my mind. I need to prove to people that what I experience is real
So, do I have to the company website to actually understand what the thing is actually capable of? The video really didn't provide this insight into that at all imho ...
Also, asking the question "Are we ready for it?" and then simply not even going into it is just lame.
Can't wait to be on freethink one day.😁
This would sell a lot more as an individual productivity tool instead of some service.
6:46 - we have an opportunity to do better now that we've seen these mistakes occur OR ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE : They have an opportunity to do worse now that they've seen that the government will never be able to protect individuals.
As a globalist, futurist, modernist & Transhumanist, I highly supportive of this!!♥️⚛️🔬
Keep pushing forward persueing a better future for the betterment of humanity!!
You do realise this is all about totalitarianism and control. They will use this data to rob your of your inner most thoughts and try to control you. They are innately evil tecnologies. Please read 1984.
I want a machine that can read my thoughts and play them on a speaker or a headphone. Id be able to make any type of music from any type of instrument. Always wanted to make music but dont have the money or the time fo learn each instrument.
I just got an ad for the preorder on Instagram… I’m curious but I don’t know how I feel yet
Image that they have this technology already in our phone the size of a paper clip inside your phone being used in the forms of adverts and promos. Now imagine that technology has been used for several years. Think twice the next time you see something on your phone that you just thought about for the first time in years or ever!
I wish I had a body language specialist friend. I feel like his, nearly, unflinching demeanor, had some very subtle queues that show he is very aware of the question (@5:40) but, may have still been caught off guard.
Oh, they were caught off-guard definitely. From the cues I caught, Ramses was expecting the data collection topic to pop up, just not that quickly. Notice the hands and lips. Hands: clasped together at the front but in a low position. In MY personal "body language dictionary," it usually means that the speaker is still open to answering the question, but wanted to do so in their own time.
Now the lips: General body language experts will tell you that humans have different "Pacifying behaviors" or unconscious nervous "tells" that allows the speaker to subtly calm down while also remaining completely receptive and attentive to the person asking questions.
I'm no expert, but I can tell you that Ramses definitely believes in the concept of making this tech accessible. But worried that malicious actors may attempt to exploit it. After all, data is the most valuable commodity in today's age of tech.
@@DontBother_YT Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed this little moment. And think it was still handled pretty well.
WHERE or when can i buy them?!?!?!
Okay, so can we just collect readings and train gpt4 to read our minds so to improve how fast and with least effort we can query it? pliz
Man this is just too exciting of a time to live...
I knew you were going to post this video.
I had a similar dog -- his technology killed it.
I've always wished that there was a way to recreate what's on your mind exactly the way you envision it in real time. Like my brain would conjure up this amazing image or sequence of images and I'm unable to draw or record it exactly the way I see it in my mind and it was so disappointing that i couldn't because if i could record exaclty what I'm imagining, I could produce something really amazing to share with the world.
Same :(
Yes and then they will steal and copyright your ideas before you ave the chance to create it.
This is all about the thought police and mind control. That's the theft of your most basic human rights. Totalitarianism.
Reciever is also a transmitter
552 likes and ~113 dislikes, very curious
Honestly, the music really turned me off. It's as if you were trying to sell us this tech on how to better humanity with hope.
I've heard about another technology that collects data about the waves our brain releases and connects them to some images that it is showing us thanks to a screen, it can record what waves we release when we see a cat for example, and when we are thinking about a cat, it can read our mind interpreting the waves.
So making a whole vocabulary of our waves can let this technology read our minds and show us on a screen or with words what we have dreamed or thought.
Why don't integrate thoose two futuristic technology together?
I think that if we want to use this kind of technology that collects data from our brain we need International laws protecting our data making way that those cannot leave the object and no one can use them for profit; not just a company ethics value.
or u can be a victim of that technology. Stalkers can work for government
@@angpham2910 Just route it to an unofficial server and have a firewall block off any sites that the device uses to snitch on you.
I dunno, if you don't like something, you are stressed, if you like it then you aren't boom done
they already have thought control; just needed more precision ...

Hello 2077
the world in definitely changing... and to every pro there's always a con - and I'm not inclined to think otherwise
Mind reader on head phone
ANY technology specially progressing ones had potential to be used for good and also bad, it's a double edged sword. So we should tip toe our way to developing cutting edge tech then regulate them.
Y need for headfones and not dirct brain cell interface?
Already done! You people tor--ture innocent people!
Why we fckin need this?
Can you find out what’s going on inside the minds of those guys covering their mouths in the video?
Wow
Thats GENIUS
They understand what they have to do to cure schizophrenia so why aren't they doing it ? Cure schizophrenia
No

Don't care about data just give me the product 😫
I wouldnt doubt if this techonology already existed and was mastered in the private sector decades ago... now your thoughts wont be private anymore. Ultimate control and abusability.
You must not have watched the video. It does NOT read your thoughts, it monitors your brain activity. Pease keep in mind that these are two different things, and just because a pair of headphones can utilize your neurons, does not mean all of your secrets and opinions are being leaked to the CIA.
How can this help people with ADHD?
Great question! From withintent.com: "Looking at brain patterns over time, EEG can be used to detect if it’s likely that a person has a condition like ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, among others, and provide feedback during treatment." withintent.com/blog/neurable-interview/
You might also wonder how it could help people who are already diagnosed. Hayden Field with emergingtechbrew.com interviewed Ramses Alcaide, Neurable CEO, to find out. Alcaide said this: "I personally have ADHD, and it’s always been a difficult challenge, especially because in the past, my primary work at Neurable was more technical, and now it's more about being in the public, an evangelist, the CEO, leading-which is a completely different set of skills than coding and writing journal articles. So how I manage my medication has been really valuable, as has using the headphones-understanding how they affect my focus, where I should use them, how I should structure my day. And on top of that, being able to leverage the technology to know when my mind is wandering and be able to step back to things at a faster rate than I normally would. So these are all benefits that I've gained from it."
