Prophetic AI Promotes Non-Invasive Neurotech

Prophetic founders Eric Wollberg and Wesley Berry established the company after sharing a mutual fascination with brain-imaging tools and how they could paint a picture of someone's thought pattern. The duo co-founded Prophetic in early 2023.

As reported by CNBC, Prophetic is working towards making the "world's first wearable device for stabilizing lucid dreams." Basically, the device bears similarity to a headband and can issue focused ultrasound signals. Lucid dreams occur when a person becomes aware of their dream-like state which allows them the chance to control some parts of their dreams.

Recently, Wollberg announced that the company has raised $1.1 million in funding from various companies and partners. The prototype device dubbed Halo is in partnership with Card79, the same company that built Elon Musk's brain-computer interface company, Neuralink.

Prophetic AI Public Launch

Last June, Prophetic was formally introduced to the world. The founders emphasized the idea to "Bring about a paradigmatic shift in neurotech and give users an experience so extraordinary, a lucid dream, that we bring about a fundamentally new era of human life."

On October 20, the company will be showcasing the Halo prototype, custom ultrasound transducers, ML model development, and more in New York City. Wollberg also assured that the event will be recorded and uploaded for public consumption.

According to Prophetic's roadmap, the company is eyeing to complete the Ultrasound study and have the Prophetic models reliably induce and stabilize lucid dreams by 2024. It is estimated that by Spring 2025, the Halo will be shipped around the world.
