Neurosoft Bioelectronics partnered with Mila, the Montréal AI institute, to accelerate development of a cortical foundation model. Neurosoft will join Mila's research network, pairing its soft, minimally invasive cortical recording platform with the AI expertise needed to train models on scarce neural data.

Neurosoft closed a $7.5M oversubscribed seed round led by Skybound Venture Capital, bringing total funding past $20M. The proceeds will advance the company's soft, stretchable cortical electrode platform, claimed to be up to 1,000x more compliant than other flexible interfaces, and fund early development of a cortical foundation model. Participation by Protocol Labs puts Neurosoft in the same investment portfolio as US BCI leaders including Synchron and Science Corp.
