Developed by the SogetiLabs France team as part of Capgemini’s internal innovation program, the CortexIA project is a bold exploration into the realm of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). The project’s ambition is clear: to create a system that can recognize specific mental states linked to mental motor imagery, allowing users to initiate actions using only their thoughts, thanks to a neural headset.
This technology holds particular promise for individuals living with motor impairments. Whether caused by a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or spinal cord damage, these conditions often result in a sudden and profound loss of mobility. For many, this can be a major barrier to regaining independence and reintegrating into professional and social life.
The CortexIA project focuses initially on patients with spinal cord injuries, aiming to develop a solution tailored to their unique challenges. But the vision doesn’t stop there. The team hopes that the insights gained will spark broader conversations about how such technologies could be adapted for other patient groups.
At its core, the CortexIA project is about more than just innovation, it’s about restoring agency. It’s a reminder that technology, when thoughtfully applied, can reconnect people with the world around them in ways once thought impossible.
