Mentioned:
Tether has a new ambition: neural interface technology.
What’s happening:
- Tether has officially announced they are developing a neural interface technology known as BrainOS
The big idea:
- BrainOS is an open source technology platform that is aiming to develop breakthroughs for brain augmentation and enhancement
- Tether is developing BrainOS to be able to connect directly with chips and physical implants for the human brain that can decode neural signals and translate thoughts into text
Why it matters:
- Tether continues to make bold bets outside of crypto, notably previously pouring hundreds on millions of dollars into video streaming platform Rumble (NASDAQ: RUM)
Going deeper:
- The BrainOS platform is being designed in collaboration with Blackrock Neuroscience, which Tether previously made a major investment in
- Elon Musk’s Neuralink previously made waves when they earned a Breakthrough Device designation from the United States Food and Drug Administration for their vision restoring brain implant technology known as Blindsight
The intrigue:
- Neuroscience companies have been continuing to push the boundaries of innovation lately, with Firefly Neuroscience (NASDAQ: AIFF) just recently being accepted into the Nvidia Connect Program to build the first foundational model for the human brain
