Congrats to Forest Neurotech on receiving $14M in funding to create next-generation brain-computer interfaces for individuals with neurological injuries or diseases. Their novel noninvasive approach has a wide range of potential applications, from mitigating seizures to treating severe depression.

Forest Neurotech is funded through Convergent Research (@Convergent_FROs), with funds from former Google CEO @ericschmidt. Griffin Catalyst, the philanthropic organization of Citadel CEO Ken Griffin, the Riley & Susan Bechtel Foundation, and James Fickel also support Forest Neurotech.

This initiative is notable because Forest Neurotech (https://t.co/1ueh4Yx0Rw) is a new breed of #nonprofit #startup called a Focused Research Organization or FRO. Convergent Research pioneered this structure to support #moonshot efforts that create new scientific tools and datasets. These tools, research, and data will be shared with the broader scientific community, aligning with a commitment to open science.
