University of Tokyo-born Neurotech Startup FastNeura Joins Cabinet Office SIP "Human Augmentation Consortium"

FastNeura Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Narihiro Mizuguchi, hereafter "FastNeura") announces its entry into the "Human Augmentation Consortium," established as part of the Cabinet Office's national project, the Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP) 3rd phase, "Infrastructure and Rule Development for an Expanding Virtual Economy."

In the future, we will collaborate with member companies and research institutions of this consortium to promote proof-of-concept research and technological partnerships utilizing our proprietary neuro-adaptive AI Platform, "Sync."

Through this initiative, we will accelerate the cross-industrial verification and social implementation of cognitive augmentation technology, contributing to the development of Japan-originated human augmentation technology.

Background and Future Prospects of Joining FastNeura has independently developed a cognitive intervention technology that estimates human cognitive and emotional states from multimodal biological signals and guides them to an optimal state through closed-loop intervention using sensory stimuli.

This technology has a high affinity with the concept of "human augmentation" and is directly related to the areas the Human Augmentation Consortium aims for, such as the expansion of physical abilities, sharing and preservation of senses, and advancement of remote operations.

Through participation in this consortium, our company will promote the following initiatives: **Acceleration of Proof-of-Concept Research** - Promote demonstrations of "Sync" in various industrial domains in collaboration with member companies and research institutions.

**Verification of Device Collaboration** - Verify interoperability with other companies' sensing and actuation devices.

**Towards International Standardization**
