Interview with Yacine Achiakh. He is the CEO and co-founder of Wisear, a company working on building the neural interface and human-machine interface platform technology of the future. Their goal is to enable people to have seamless, voiceless, and touchless control over their everyday devices. Their first application of this technology is earbuds outfitted with electrodes that can pick up biosignals (EEG, EMG, EOG, etc.) and convert them into control signals for various devices. This episode is jam-packed with interesting and useful information from start to finish.

Yacine and I talk for over an hour discussing a range of topics like: his career journey before founding Wisear, quitting his job to start the company, inspiration from Neuralink, scrappy early stage building & prototyping, development of Wisear’s technology stack, techniques to reduce electromagnetic noise, strategic decisions to get their product into more hands, the value of collecting data, hardware agnostic technology frameworks, possible research partnerships, neural interfaces & human-machine interfaces of the future, the changing form factors of our devices & interactions with technology, advice for students, advice for founders, the interconnected neurotech community, why its hard to bootstrap in neurotech, why its useful to raise a large first round of venture capital funding in neurotech, short term future of neurotechnology, long term future of neurotechnology, and neurotech’s upcoming eventual “GenAI moment.”
