Using a BCI with LLM for enabling ALS patients to speak again with family

🧀

Ruben Dominguez Ibar and Chris Tottman interviewed Vasco Pedro, CEO of Unbabel, unveiling Halo - a device for communicating via thought using Generative AI and a non-invasive neural interface. Originally a distant dream, Halo now aids patients with ALS and 'locked-in' syndrome. It's been demonstrated at Notion's Founders retreat to high acclaim and is expected to redefine communication.

  • Halo is non-invasive, worn as a wristband or headband.
  • It was the highest-rated session at Notion's retreat.
  • Halo is piloted across organizations in Portugal.
  • Partnership with OpenAI for the voice model.
  • Looking for a CEO to lead Halo's growth.
