What Neurable does
Neurable is a Boston-based neurotechnology company that builds AI-powered brain-computer interface (BCI) technology for consumer and enterprise use. Founded in 2015 as a spinout from the University of Michigan's Direct Brain Interface Laboratory, the company spent roughly a decade in R&D before commercializing its first product, the MW75 Neuro headphones, in 2024 in partnership with premium audio brand Master & Dynamic. Its core proprietary platform, Neurable AI, processes electroencephalography (EEG) signals captured by dry-electrode sensors embedded in headphone earcups and converts them into real-time cognitive metrics such as Focus Score, Cognitive Strain, Mental Recovery, Cognitive Speed, Anxiety Resilience, and a weekly-updated Brain Age biomarker. The technology is protected by 11 patents, supported by 7,000+ user tests and 9 published white papers, and has been independently validated by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory as performing comparably to research-grade EEG systems, with additional clinical validation from the Mayo Clinic.
Neurable monetizes through three primary revenue streams: direct-to-consumer hardware sales of the MW75 Neuro ($699) and MW75 Neuro LT ($499) headphones via neurable.com; OEM/licensing royalties from hardware partners that embed the Neurable AI stack into their own devices — a model the company formally launched in April 2026 and whose first flagship licensees are HP Inc.'s HyperX gaming brand (gaming headsets, CES 2026 Top Honors) and Master & Dynamic (premium audio); and B2B research and defense sales, including a $1.2 million U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory contract, prior U.S. Army xTech Program engagements, and Research Kit distribution through research platforms such as iMotions. The customer base spans knowledge workers and productivity-focused consumers, gamers and esports athletes, defense and government research organizations, academic and behavioral research institutions, enterprise wellness and workplace-performance buyers (MeSpace), and clinical/longevity applications (Mayo Clinic, Healthspan Digital in Dubai).
The company operates from Boston, Massachusetts, with origins in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and has raised approximately $65 million in cumulative venture funding, most recently a $35 million Series A closed in December 2025 led by Spectrum Moonshot Fund with participation from Pace Ventures. Earlier capital came from a $13 million round in May 2024 led by Ultratech Capital Partners (with TRAC, Pace Ventures, and Metaplanet), plus strategic investments from Hartmann Capital, Epson, and Global Brains. In April 2026 Neurable expanded its executive team (COO, CFO, VPs of Product, Business Development, and Marketing) to support the transition from a single-product hardware company to an OEM-licensing platform business model targeting headphones, glasses, helmets, headbands, and other consumer wearable form factors.

Neurable product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Neurable develops proprietary AI-driven brain-computer interface (BCI) technology that translates EEG signals into real-time cognitive insights, then embeds it into consumer-grade headphone form factors and licenses it to OEMs. The company sells the MW75 Neuro and MW75 Neuro LT headphones directly to consumers, distributes a Research Kit to academic and commercial researchers, and licenses its Neurable AI brain-signal processing stack to headphone, headset, hat, glasses, and helmet manufacturers for embedding into their own devices.
Product overview
Neurable offers a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on its proprietary Neurable AI brain-signal processing engine. The hardware anchors of the portfolio are the MW75 Neuro (1st-generation BCI headphones co-developed with Master & Dynamic) and the MW75 Neuro LT (2nd-generation lighter, more affordable headphones launched September 2025), both of which stream EEG data into the cross-platform Neurable App for iOS/Android. On top of this hardware-plus-app core, Neurable layers add-on modules such as the Brain Health Report (personalized cognitive insights) and gaming-focused features including Prime (neurofeedback) and Rocket Game (brain-controlled mini-game). The Neurable Research Kit extends the platform to academic and commercial researchers, while the Neurable Development Kit and OEM Licensing Platform (announced April 2026) enable consumer-electronics partners to embed Neurable's EEG and focus-analytics technology into their own devices. Neurable for Teams repackages the consumer platform for enterprise and workplace cognitive-wellness use cases.

Neurable competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Neuralink: Elon Musk-backed brain-computer interface company developing invasive implantable BCIs. Competes for overall BCI mindshare and capital but takes a fundamentally different (invasive) technological approach than Neurable's non-invasive EEG platform.
- Synchron: Vascular brain-computer interface company that has implanted its Stentrode in human patients. Like Neuralink, it pursues invasive BCI but competes for the same consumer, clinical, and investor attention that Neurable targets with non-invasive EEG.
- Kernel: Neurotechnology company developing non-invasive brain-measurement hardware (Kernel Flow, Kernel Flux) for cognitive performance and clinical research. Comparable to Neurable's research/defense pivot and competes for similar R&D and clinical research budgets.
- Apple: Consumer electronics giant with massive wearable health platform (Apple Watch) and reported neural-interface R&D. Indirect but existential competitor: any Apple EEG-enabled AirPods product would instantly dominate Neurable's headphone form factor.
Direct peers
- Muse: Consumer EEG headband maker (Muse 2, Muse S) focused on meditation, sleep, and focus tracking. Most direct non-invasive consumer BCI competitor to Neurable, though it uses a forehead headband form factor rather than headphones.
- Emotiv: EEG headset maker serving both consumer (Emotiv Insight, MN8) and research/enterprise markets. Directly comparable to Neurable's Research Kit and broader consumer/research dual track, with overlapping customer segments in academic and corporate research.
- OpenBCI: Open-source EEG hardware and software platform for researchers, hackers, and developers. Closely comparable to Neurable's Research Kit and Development Kit offerings and a likely buyer/partner for academic and DIY BCI communities.
Emerging players
- Cumulus Neuroscience: Clinical-stage EEG headset company focused on brain biomarkers for CNS clinical trials. Comparable to Neurable's clinical research and pharmaceutical-application ambitions and a potential competitor for healthcare/research EEG contracts.
Others
- iMotions: Human behavior research software platform that integrates multiple biometrics (EEG, eye tracking, GSR, facial coding). Already a Neurable integration partner for the Research Kit, iMotions is a channel partner rather than a competitor but a key comparable for the BCI-for-research category.
- Master & Dynamic: Premium audio hardware partner that manufactures Neurable's MW75 Neuro and MW75 Neuro LT headphones. Strategic OEM partner rather than a direct competitor, but its brand and retail footprint are central to Neurable's hardware go-to-market.
