nudge

Nudge is developing whole-brain interfaces for everyday life, using focused ultrasound technology to safely, precisely, and non-invasively interface with the brain. The company's mission is to develop the best technology for improving people's lives through brain-computer interfaces.

The company is starting with an approach they believe can help the most people the fastest: developing a non-invasive, ultrasound-based device that can stimulate and image the brain at high resolution and depth. Their vertically integrated effort combines cutting-edge hardware, software, and research capabilities to create products that can benefit millions - and eventually billions - of people.

Nudge's first milestone is demonstrating that focused ultrasound delivered to the deep brain can be safe and effective as a treatment for medical conditions including addiction, chronic pain, and anxiety. The company has built Nudge Zero, their first human-ready system, and is currently conducting research studies on people nearly every day. Their longer-term vision includes portable devices for home use that can improve mood, focus, sleep, learning, and memory.
