Brain Computer Interface Companies

This is an attempt at cataloging companies which are primarily focused on the development of BCI hardware, and software.

Here's what the columns in this table mean:

• Noninvasive Hardware - Indicates whether a company produces noninvasive mind reading hardware, like an eeg cap.
• Invasive Hardware - Indicates whether a company produces invasive mind reading technology, like electrodes in the brain.
• End-user Software - Indicates whether a company builds end-user applications that use bci hardware.
• Development Platform - Indicates whether a company develops tools for building end-user applications that use bci hardware.
• Country - Country of origin.
• Year founded - year the company was founded.
