AI is becoming faster and more powerful every day. But to date, machines still struggle to think and adapt like humans. Computers are great at following instructions but lack the flexibility and instincts that come naturally to people.
This is why many companies are trying to build systems inspired by the human brain. Instead of just copying what humans do, they want machines to process information the way we do, i.e., by learning, reacting, and improving over time. Technologies like brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), sensory devices, and brain-like chips are moving from labs into real life.
Several companies are combining neuroscience, machine learning, and engineering in practical ways. Whether it’s helping people regain lost senses, enabling direct communication between brain and machine, or creating smarter control systems, these companies are turning complex science into real-world solutions. Here’s a look at some of the companies making real progress in this space.
