Summary
- A startup is developing a brain wearable to decode internal speech.
- The technology uses EEG sensors to record brain activity.
- Sabi aims for an initial typing speed of 30 words per minute.
A new brain wearable, aiming to translate thoughts into words, is being developed by Silicon Valley startup Sabi. This non-invasive device, resembling a beanie or baseball cap, is expected to be available by the end of 2026. It represents a significant advancement in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology.
The Sabi cap utilizes electroencephalography (EEG) with a vast array of miniature sensors, ranging from 70,000 to 100,000. This high-density sensing aims to overcome the signal dampening inherent in wearable devices by precisely pinpointing neural activity.
While current EEG decoding is limited, Sabi is targeting an initial typing speed of approximately 30 words per minute. The company believes this speed will increase as users become more accustomed to the device, potentially ushering in a new era of human-computer interaction.
