In this Neurofounders webinar, Dominic Borkelmans speaks with Dan Furman, CEO of Arctop, and Dimitris Sakellariou, CEO of Piramidal, about the development and potential of brain foundation models.

Arctop builds software for consumer brain-sensing devices, translating neural activity into cognitive metrics and real-time insights. Piramidal develops large-scale EEG foundation models for clinical applications, including neurological monitoring and brainwave interpretation.

We discuss how foundation models are trained on brain data, what generalization means in neuroscience, and the role of data scale and diversity in improving model performance. The conversation also explores applications in consumer and clinical neurotechnology, neurodata ethics, and how to distinguish genuine progress from speculation.
