Brainamics is a fast growing neurotech startup from the Technical University of Munich. The IP of Brainamics is a unique technology framework that enables the extraction of emotions directly from the human brain. To do that, Brainamics uses Electroencephalograms (EEG) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms.
The commercial starting point is the gaming industry, where game developers use the insights into the psychology and user experience of their gamers to optimize their gameplay. During a playtest Brainamics measures the brain activity of the player and then applies its algorithms to show exactly what the player felt during every single second of the game. With this novel approach to testing games, Brainamics is currently completely revolutionizing the way game studios test, validate and optimize their games.
