Romanian Startup Symbiote BCI Brings Brain-Computer Interface Tech to Automotive Safety and Defense
Symbiote BCI, a Romanian startup founded by 24-year-old Mihai Simedrea, develops non-invasive neurotechnology to monitor brain activity for applications in automotive safety (e.g., detecting driver fatigue) and defense (e.g., drone operator training). The team uses dry electrodes and 3D-printed headsets, sourcing components from the US and manufacturing in China. The startup is self-funded and operates alongside founders’ full-time corporate jobs.
