# Elemind Technologies

> Elemind Technologies is a Cambridge, Massachusetts neurotech company spun out of MIT that makes a wearable EEG headband which reads your brainwaves and plays phase-locked acoustic pulses through bone conduction to help you fall asleep faster - without drugs. Founded by a group of leading neuroscientists and led by CEO Meredith Perry, the company launched its $399 'sleep on demand' headband in 2024 after raising $12 million in seed funding. Its broader ambition is an 'app store for the brain': one wearable running different neuromodulation protocols for sleep, tremor, memory and beyond.
