We built the missing link in neurostimulation from brain
Neuroloop presents a wireless, bidirectional brain-computer interface designed to bridge the gap between neural recording and stimulation, enabling real-time closed-loop neurostimulation for research and potential therapeutic applications.
Background
- **PiEEG** is an open-source hardware project that turns a Raspberry Pi into a biosignal acquisition device (EEG, EMG, EKG). The team behind it builds affordable, DIY neurotech tools.
- **NeuroLoop** is their new device: a bidirectional brain-computer interface (BCI) that can both record brain signals (EEG) and deliver electrical stimulation (tES/tDCS) from a single, low-cost board.
- Most existing neurostimulation gear is either research-grade (expensive, lab-only) or consumer-grade (recording OR stimulation, rarely both). NeuroLoop aims to be the "missing link": a cheap, programmable, open-source device that closes the loop between sensing and stimulating the brain.
- This matters because closed-loop neurostimulation (stimulating based on real-time brain activity) is a growing field for cognitive enhancement, therapy (depression, ADHD), and BCI research. Making it accessible could accelerate DIY science and low-cost neuroscience.
