Neosensory

Neosensory gives people new senses via haptic feedback

Developed by neuroscientists, Neosensory builds non-invasive brain-machine interfaces to create new senses.

Our research began with the idea that our experience of reality can go beyond our sensory limitations. In 2013, Professor David Eagleman and his graduate student Scott Novich set out to create a general sensory substitution device: the Vest. The project drew worldwide attention when it was presented at TED, and in 2015 it was spun out of the lab into a venture-backed company. With a new team of engineers, we then shrunk the function of the Vest into a sleek wearable: a wristband with multiple vibratory motors in the band, named Buzz. Our patented technology enables people to listen with their skin. 

We focus on sending data streams to the brain via the sense of touch. With so much unused real estate on the body, the skin presents an untapped channel for the delivery of new information.
