🧠✨ Non-invasive #neurotech is redefining mental wellness.

Devices like #KernelFlow measure #brainactivity with light—no implants, no wires. Meanwhile, #TMS and #neurofeedback are entering spas, clinics, even luxury retreats.

We’re witnessing brain care become as routine as skincare.

“Technopathy for Beginners”, by Graham Felstead, the first human implanted with a Stentrode™ #BCI, was diagnosed with #MND and couldn’t move his arms—yet with thoughts, he controlled a computer and finished this book.
His message? “It’s not the tech that’s dangerous, but how we choose to use it.”

If you’re serious about understanding the brain—from synapses to cognition—Kandel’s “Principles of Neural Science” is the bible.

Dense? Yes.
Foundational? Absolutely.

#FredWarner isn’t just a linebacker—he’s a neural prediction engine. He's known for reading offenses like a book, before the ball is even snapped.
That’s not luck. It’s anticipatory neural processing—the same principle at the core of modern #braincomputerinterfaces.

🧠🏈 #DerrickHenry doesn’t just run—he processes.
His legendary moves are a symphony of neuromuscular precision. Now imagine if stroke survivors could re-learn that kind of #motorcontrol using #neurotechnology like BCIs.
We’re turning rehab into performance science.

From stroke recovery with #BCI to Parkinson’s relief via #DBS, we’re seeing a revolution in neuro care. EEG, TMS, fNIRS, tDCS — these tools don’t just treat symptoms, but help rewire the self.
We’re restoring voice, movement, memory.

Check out this comprehensive table!

If you’re into neurotech (or thinking about it), this ecosystem map is something I always point people to. It’s free, open, and actually useful—labs, companies, tools, all in one place:
