Samsung invests in neural sensor startup Pison
Pison® has announced an equity investment from Samsung Venture Investment Corporation (Samsung Ventures), validating its AI-powered neural sensor technology for cognitive health, wellness, and gesture control.
Pison pioneered the science of electroneurography (ENG) to help harness the power of the mind along with the development of non-invasive ground-breaking neural sensor technology. ENG uses neural biosensors and artificial intelligence to translate the body’s natural physiological electricity, originating from the brain, into machine-interpretable events in software.
The innovative neural sensor technology developed by Pison detects brain activity from three nerve bundles in the wrist. Skin surface electrodes at the wrist detect small electrical signals from the brain as they travel through muscles and nerves. Both active and passive AI algorithms are then used to extract neurocognitive data, providing insights into mental acuity and impairment from poor sleep, chronic fatigue, anxiety, neurodegenerative conditions, drugs, alcohol, and subconcussive brain injuries.
Pison neural sensors are completely passive and non-invasive, providing no stimulus to your body while sitting lightly on the surface of the skin.
Pison was founded in 2016 with funding from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, National Science Foundation, and the ALS Association. The company has also received funding from several Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards from the U.S. Department of Defense, and various research institutions. In addition, the FY2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) highlights the value of neural biosensors for advancing warfighter health and readiness, namely detecting traumatic brain injuries and tracking chronic fatigue.
“Our mobile apps and subscription services aim to redefine cognitive performance and productivity — whether at home, on the athletic field, in the workplace, or within mission-critical job functions,” said John Croteau, CEO of Pison.
