In this episode, Ramses Alcaide, neuroscientist and founder of Neurable, shares his deeply personal motivation for building a non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) company. From aiding his uncle after a childhood accident to pioneering AI-powered neurotech, Ramses discusses how Neurable's brain-sensing headphones are reshaping mental health, human-computer interaction, and the future of personal empowerment.

Key Points:

Neurable’s brain-sensing headphones are bringing mind-reading tech into everyday life — from boosting focus to tracking brain health. Founder Ramses Alcaide believes brain-computer interfaces and AI will be key to unlocking human potential in the decade ahead.

• BCI for Everyday Life: Neurable’s headphones use EEG sensors and AI to interpret brain signals non-invasively, helping users monitor attention, fatigue, and focus in real time — all while functioning as stylish, high-quality audio devices.
• Mental Health & Cognitive Empowerment: The tech can detect early signs of burnout, mental fatigue, and even neurological changes — empowering users to adjust behaviours, reduce caffeine, or improve sleep before symptoms become serious.
• Personal Story, Global Mission: Ramses founded Neurable after a childhood tragedy involving his uncle’s disability, inspiring a lifelong mission to create accessible technology that reconnects people with the world around them.
• Scalable Brain Data for Research & Health: By embedding BCIs into consumer products, Neurable enables continuous, large-scale brain data collection that could transform neuroscience research, mental health diagnostics, and brain disease tracking.
• A Future of Seamless Brain-Tech Integration: Ramses envisions a near future where AR glasses, smart pods, and digital assistants adapt dynamically to our brain states — from boosting workplace focus to enhancing creativity and mood regulation.
• Ethics, Purpose & the Road Ahead: While optimistic, Ramses stresses the importance of ethical safeguards, data ownership, and human purpose. He believes BCI and AI will be the most powerful tools humanity creates — if guided responsibly.
