Fred Ehrsam, a co-founder of the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, teamed up with Quintin Frerichs to establish a new company called Nudge. This venture is set to develop an ultrasonic headset aimed at enhancing people’s daily lives. It will enable users to boost focus or go to sleep with just the press of a button.
Ultrasound neuromodulation has the ingredients necessary for a near-term mainstream consumer product,Fred stated.
According to him, the development of ultrasound technology has accelerated significantly, and its safety allows for the consumer use of the technology without extensive trials. He even likened the device to the ultrasound procedures currently conducted in medical clinics.
Nudge currently employs a team of 11 engineers and scientists who have backgrounds at companies like Apple and Neuralink, as well as top university labs. Fred has issued a call for specialists, including engineers and programmers, to submit their resumes if they are interested in contributing to the project.
