Brain Waves (via PrimeCash S.r.l.) is a private Italian deep-tech startup developing a non-invasive brain–computer interface (BCI) that links human neural activity to electronic devices. The company’s flagship system uses an EEG headband and custom signal-processing software to translate thought-generated brainwaves into commands .
Demonstrations at international tech fairs (CES 2023 in Las Vegas, WMF 2023 in Italy) have shown a user piloting drones, wheelchairs, and computer cursors solely by mind power . Brain Waves originated within Cryptolab (a cyber-security firm) and builds on the founder’s prior invention and patent on brainwave-based user authentication .
This analysis answers: How does Brain Waves' non-invasive brain-computer interface use an EEG headband and signal-processing software to translate brainwaves into device commands? What maturity do demonstrations at CES 2023 and WMF 2023, piloting drones, wheelchairs and cursors by thought, show for the BCI system? How does the technology's origin within Cryptolab and the founder's brainwave-authentication patent shape its dual-use and IP base? What capability gaps and strategic indicators define Brain Waves' European neurotech positioning?
