About NeuroSonics, Inc.
NeuroSonics, Inc. (NSI) was founded to secure patents and develop commercial applications for two unique technologies which allow the control of computers by brain waves. The technologies are also expected to have stress-reduction and potentially other health and medical applications.
The Company and Management
NeuroSonics, Inc. was formed in 1987 and chartered in Maryland. It has a six-member board of directors, a strong management team, an excellent list of professional advisors and affiliates, and a devoted, long-term investment group.
The Company has put together a particularly strong Board of Directors with extensive business experience represented, including the management of major corporations (Beatrice Foods, Eckrich Meats and Central Soya), high-technology computer corporations (Kurzweil Applied Intelligence, Kurzweil Music Systems, and Kurzweil Computer Products), a highly successful medical services company (Integrated Health Services), experience in academic administration and research (at the Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University), and consulting experience with high-technology and computer companies.
Goals and Vision
NeuroSonics, Inc. has developed two patented technologies, both based on capturing and analyzing brain waves through an EEG attachment to a user.
The NeuroSonics Brain Generated Music (BGM) technology is a brain wave biofeedback system capable of evoking the "relaxation response", a desirable state of deep relaxation.
NeuroSonics has also developed the Motionless Communications Controller (MCC) technology which enables a person to communicate with a computer by simply gazing at selected patterns on the screen. Two applications of this technology are (1) Motionless Game Controller (MaGiC) that would enable a user to interact with and control a video game through recognition of their "thoughts" (or at least through their directed attention on the screen) and (2) a Communication and Computer Input Device (CID) for the physically disabled.
NeuroSonics' patented brain wave technologies are the key to our projected success. The past three decades were marked by the spectacular proliferation and commercial success of computers in our society. Many feel the 1990s and beyond will be marked by new advances in our understanding of the brain, and how mankind interfaces with computers and machines. NeuroSonics is poised to be both a research and commercial leader in the coming decades.
