Inclusive Brains develops adaptive, multimodal and non‑invasive brain computer interfaces to empower individuals—regardless of physical ability—to control digital environments using brainwaves, facial expressions, eye movements, or physiological signals. Our solutions aim to restore autonomy in work, education, and everyday digital life.
Prometheus BCI is a multimodal brain–computer interface that translates diverse neurophysiological signals—including EEG, heart rate, eye movement, facial expressions, and muscle control—into mental commands. These commands enable users to interact with connected devices without requiring touch or speech.
In 2025, Inclusive Brains and Allianz Trade committed to making the Prometheus AI core algorithms open source, inviting developers, researchers, and institutions to collaborate and innovate in assistive technology for accessibility and inclusion.
- Paris 2024 Olympic Torch Relay: Prometheus was used to control an exoskeleton arm by users with motor disabilities, enabling them to carry the Olympic torch.
- Mind-written communications: First-ever instances of a tweet and a parliamentary amendment composed using Prometheus BCI - without physical or vocal interaction.
- The open‑source release of the core AI models and algorithms, aiming to democratize access to advanced neurotechnology for societal benefit.
- Allianz Trade: Key partner in the development of Prometheus BCI, providing strategic, financial, and technical support to accelerate R&D and promote the open-source initiative.
- IBM: In June 2025, initiated a joint study with Inclusive Brains to improve Prometheus’s adaptive real-time performance using AI and quantum ML, grounded in ethical neurodata use.
