Forget Brain Implants—This Earbud Could Change the Game
Neuralink is already old news, and Elon Musk might be betting on the wrong horse. The future of brain-computer interfaces could just be an earbud, and Dave Segal is leading the charge — no surgery required.
Dave Segal’s Naqi Logix Neural Earbud could make controlling devices as easy as moving your head. Unlike Elon Musk’s Neuralink, which requires surgery, the Naqi earbud uses tiny facial movements and head gestures to navigate computers, phones, or even planes.
At a demo, a paralyzed user ordered a jersey online with nothing but subtle muscle movements — without needing brain surgery. Segal’s vision started a decade ago, driven by a need for non-invasive control of tech, particularly for disabled users.
But Naqi isn’t limited to assistive tech—it has potential across industries, from gaming to robotics, and even piloting planes. Now, the challenge is transforming this innovation into a scalable business. As Naqi gains attention, the question remains: Can this simple earbud outpace its surgically implanted competitors?
