The next gadget you put on your head could scan your brain. Neurable, a Boston-based company that embeds its noninvasive brain-scanning technology into hardware to monitor a person’s focus levels, announced on Tuesday that it is transitioning to a licensing platform model. By certifying third parties, Neurable expects its tech to be in a “flood” of consumer gadgets this year and next.Neurable has until now focused its efforts on a pair of consumer-grade headphones—made in partnership with audio brand Master & Dynamic. It also has a contract with the US Department of Defense to see how its technology can monitor…
An Australian startup is building what could become one of the world’s first “biological data centers” — augmenting silicon computing chips with those seeded with living human neurons.Cortical Labs, the company behind the effort, has opened its first facility in Melbourne, Australia, and is planning a larger site in Singapore. Instead of racks filled entirely with traditional servers, these sites will house the company’s CL1 systems, which combine lab-grown neurons with standard electronic components. The aim is not to replace silicon outright but to explore whether living neural systems can complement existing hardware in specific computing tasks.The concept has a…

It’s more fashion forward thanks to the colorful new magnetic covers and offers an audio upgrade via new voice tone presets. Those changes make it the best budget wireless…
InkPoster isn’t unique. The Aura Ink ($449) is a 13-inch option with similar screen specifications, while smart home company SwitchBot has taken a different approach, layering automation and AI image generation onto a choice of 7.3-, 13.3-, and 31.5-inch displays, with pricing from just $149. Neither feels as grown-up or art-focussed as InkPoster, but it’s clear that the E Ink panels can be made cheaply and could be the start of the next wave of home display tech.Photograph: Chris Haslam/WIREDSmart PaperInkPoster uses a Spectra 6 E Ink panel here, with a Sharp IGZO backplane, running at 2160 x 3060 across…
