The objective of this project is to accelerate the commercial development of the world’s first wearable brain imaging system. The ability to image human brain activity has become critical to neuroscience research and clinical practice, yet existing technologies (including functionalMRI and PET) are large, expensive, and require dedicated hospital or research facilities, which severely restricts their use. The Gowerlabs Open Mind Project will develop a wearable brain imaging device that uses low levels of red and near-infrared light to map human brain function. The system’s novel design will enable high-quality images of the brain to be obtained in almost any environment. Wearable technology is already beginning to play a major role in healthcare, and a wearable brain imaging system has a vast range of potential applications both within and beyond medicine. Our technology will open up a multitude of new areas of research and will also meet a very significant clinical demand for monitoring brain-injured patients at the hospital bedside or in the home. Gowerlabs is a new company that was established by engineers and scientists who are world-leaders in their field, and we are ideally placed to become the market leader in wearable brain imaging technology.
