The Waterloo, Ontario-based non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) maker said it marks the first system that enables wireless control of the software by thought alone, without requiring brain surgery, implants or external eye tracking, according to a news release.

Nuro built Gridly on an ultra-lightweight, multimodal neural architecture. It allows users to seamlessly interact with digital environments using only neurologica. signals, the company says.

According to the company, Gridly could enable assistive communication through everyday software tools. Augmentative technology can also expand computing control beyond touch, voice or eye-tracking limitations. Nuro also says Gridly could assist in enterprise and research, enabling hands-free interaction in complex, high-performance and dangerous environments.
