BrainVivo enables human thought processes and worldviews to exist indefinitely by leveraging artificial intelligence. Its system creates models based on biological neural networks, mimicking an individual's unique senses, emotions, and perceptions to develop a form of "brain twin." BrainVivo’s AI technology, which relies on MRI scans, replicates human cognition while eliminating the need for massive data centers, thereby enabling scalable intelligence. These brain twins power its cognitive twin platform, which AI developers and businesses can utilize to integrate human expertise with artificial intelligence.
BrainVivo was part of the Israeli startup squad that participated in Calcalist's Mind the Tech NY 2025 conference. Calcalist's "Team NY" included early-stage startup companies in the fields of Educational Software, Fintech & Retail, Con-Tech, Biological Intelligence, Healthtech, and Foodtech. The startups joined the official delegation in its journey to New York and took part in discussions at the event, presenting their companies to senior executives from the US and international tech industries.
