Hemispheric, an Israeli startup, has raised $52 million to develop an AI-powered brain test that uses a 15-minute EEG to diagnose conditions such as PTSD and Alzheimer's, according to a report by Jewish Breaking News. The company trained a six-billion-parameter model on over 250,000 hours of brain data from 100,000 people. The technology is promising but still faces major clinical and regulatory testing.
Today's funding announcement marks a significant step for Hemispheric, an Israeli startup that earlier today detailed its AI model trained on EEG data from 100,000 people to diagnose conditions like PTSD. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the company's six-billion-parameter model analyzes brain activity from a 15-minute noninvasive EEG test. The new $52 million investment will support the development of a clinical-grade diagnostic tool for PTSD and Alzheimer's, the company says. The technology is not yet approved for clinical use and faces major regulatory and validation hurdles. The funding round, reported by Jewish Breaking News, underscores growing interest in AI-driven brain diagnostics.
