Synchron, a pioneering brain-computer interface (BCI) company, has unveiled its revolutionary cognitive AI model Chiral, the world’s first foundation model of human cognition. This groundbreaking technology is poised to transform the lives of individuals with disabilities by empowering them through direct thought-control.
Chiral is the result of Synchron’s collaboration with NVIDIA and represents a significant leap forward in artificial intelligence (AI). The model is trained directly on human neural activity, using generative pre-training techniques that learn from large-scale neural data. This enables the creation of features that improve users’ lives, such as controlling digital environments without physical input.
Synchron’s BCI technology has already shown promising results in clinical trials and will now be combined with NVIDIA’s AI-powered computing to accelerate the transition to self-supervised learning. The company aims to make brain-computer interfaces as common as stent insertions, paving the way for a new era of Cognitive AI.
The roadmap to Chiral involves three major technological milestones: motor inference powered by NVIDIA Holoscan, context-aware interaction with NVIDIA Cosmos, and training Chiral based on deidentified data. Synchron’s collaboration with NVIDIA is aimed at delivering new possibilities for individuals with disabilities, enabling greater independence, communication, and connection with the world.
Synchron remains committed to its core principle of Cognitive Liberty, prioritizing autonomy, privacy, and safeguarding fundamental rights. The company is poised to revolutionize the BCI market, which represents a $400 billion opportunity. With Chiral, Synchron is taking a significant step towards the emergence of Cognitive AI, transforming the lives of individuals with disabilities and redefining the future of human capability.
