NextMind is one of the growing number of ventures related to neural interfaces using machine learning algorithms, based in Paris.

Originally, the development kit was scheduled to ship in the second quarter of 2020, but was delayed due to a pandemic of the new coronavirus infection. According to CEO Sid Kouider, production was delayed by three to four months, but the impact did not spread any further, and the first 1,000 units were produced in November 2020. We plan to produce 1000 units following December.
