Prophetic is a tech startup creating what's billed as the "world's first wearable device for stabilizing lucid dreams."
The two, ages 29 and 27, respectively, co-founded Prophetic that same month. It's a tech startup building what the company calls the "world's first wearable device for stabilizing lucid dreams." Prophetic's hardware bet comes at a time when a handful of artificial intelligence companies are investing in devices or wearables. Humane AI, a company founded in 2017 by former Apple employees, debuted its wearable – the AI Pin – on the runway last week at Paris Fashion Week.
Wesley Berry, Prophetic's co-founder and CTO, had a background in neurotech prototyping – specifically, feeding electroencephalogram, or EEG, data into a transformer neural network, an AI model pioneered by Google, to explore what people may be seeing in their minds. That's the kind of work he had been doing with Grimes.
While today's leading transformer models that underpin tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT deal in inputs and outputs of text, Berry is aiming to do something differently with Prophetic: Use a convolutional neural net to decode brain imaging data into "tokens," then feed those into the transformer model in a way it can understand them.
