About

Thought-Wired is an Auckland (NZ) and Melbourne (AU) based hi-tech start-up creating a non-invasive brain-computer interface for everyone.

This interface will enable anyone to intuitively interact with any device using their mind.

Thought-Wired's first product, nous™ Blink, uses brain- and biosensing technology to allow people with disabilities to communicate and interact with computers by blinking their eyes. 

The Nous Blink software works with a brain-sensing headband and a computer or mobile device. The headband registers brain and eye movement activity. The software teaches the user to control their thought patterns and select options, such as yes or no, on a computer screen. Any app or computer programme you can imagine could be controlled using nous™, from home automation to motorised wheelchairs.

​

In the long term, the possibilities for Nous are endless.

Our goal is to make the world accessible to everyone, at the speed of thought.
