Neuromatters Awarded $2.4M DARPA Contract to Develop C3Vision™ Prototype
January 29, 2010

Neuromatters has been awarded a $2.4M contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop a prototype of a novel brain-computer interface image triage system, termed C3Vision™, under Phase 3 of the Neurotechnology for Intelligence Analysts program. C3Vision™, originally developed by researchers at Columbia University and the City College of New York, represents a breakthrough in how brain computer interface technology can be used to improve image search, assisting analysts when they are forced to deal with a deluge of imagery. "We are excited to work with DARPA to build a prototype C3Vision™ and test it in operational environments," said Dr. Barbara Hanna, CEO of Neuromatters. "We believe that cortically-coupled computer vision (C3Vision™) represents a revolutionary advance in image search and retrieval. And, in addition to obvious applications to Intelligence Analysts and the DoD, we foresee broad applications in multimedia, gaming and other information rich markets."

Advanced Brain Monitoring Inc. and Overwatch Geospatial Systems will join the Neuromatters team in optimizing hardware and software for operational environments. Neuromatters will also collaborate with Columbia University and City College New York to integrate fundamental advances in neural signal processing into the system.
