The MW75 Neuro comes in four colors, including silver. NeurableThe concept, says Alcaide, is to help users “build discipline and good habits” through rewarding good cognitive hygiene. Blackrock NeurotechThe MW75 Neuro is a "non-invasive" BCI. CNN’s Anna Stewart tries an early iteration of Neurable’s MW75 Neuro headphones with Deena Al Jassasi (right) at Healthspan Digital, a longevity clinic in Dubai. As more people wear the headphones, Alcaide says users can opt-in to share their anonymized data which can help improve functionality for new software features.

Elon Musk's Neuralink is testing its brain implant on animals ahead of plans for human trials. 19 of the 22 members of the animal-research oversight board are also Neuralink staff, per Reuters. Elon Musk's Neuralink has reportedly filled its committee overseeing animal testing with staff who stand to profit if the brain implant is approved by regulators, according to Reuters. Federal law requires certain animal research facilities to have a regulatory board called an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, or IACUC. That's because Neuralink staff typically receive equity in the company, five current and former workers told Reuters.
The membership of the panel at Musk’s company, Neuralink, raises questions about potential violations of conflict-of-interest regulations aimed at protecting research integrity, a dozen animal-research and bioethics experts told Reuters. Autumn Sorrells has chaired an oversight board approving animal experiments by Elon Musk’s brain-chip startup, Neuralink, and also run the company’s animal care program. Reuters couldn’t determine the compensation terms of the Neuralink IACUC members who are also company employees. The independence of such boards, Nicolelis said, is critical to protecting the integrity of animal research that could impact humans in future clinical trials. These institutions generally prohibit people with direct financial interests from serving on IACUCs or voting on animal experiments.
