Neurosom™ has announced the imminent close of an oversubscribed bridge round, a strong validation of our mission to transform deep and REM sleep into a therapeutic pathway for long-term brain health.

The round was led by Portland Seed Fund’s Intrepid Oregon Fund, with participation from the Loomis Family Trust, OEN Angel Syndicate, and ONAMI, positioning the company to accelerate clinical progress and product development as it advances toward a priced Seed Round in the first half of 2026.

With recent FDA clearance of NEAT™, expanding clinical collaborations, and continued development of our Sleep WISP™ platform, 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for Neurosom™.

Why Deep Sleep Matters As You Age. Aging doesn’t just change how long we sleep — it changes the kind of sleep we get.

Deep sleep, in particular, plays a critical role in physical recovery, brain health, and overall resilience. This well-written article breaks down how aging affects our sleep architecture, what each sleep stage means for the body’s recovery process, and practical ways to support more restorative nights.
Worth a read if you care about long-term health and performance.

Scientists in France published a study showing that seniors who used EEG neurofeedback training successfully modulate Gamma-band synchronization.

Gamma-band synchronization, a form of brain activity, is important for everyday cognitive function and memory, yet we all tend to lose this functionality as we age. In this study by French scientists, some elderly individuals successfully trained their minds through neurofeedback, achieving Gamma-band synchronization. However, the level of success varies based on individual neural dynamics.

A new study on Alzheimer's disease shows that clearing out plaques may not restore the brain's waste clearance system.

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University in Japan have published a new study where they found that the Alzheimer's drug Lecanemab removes amyloid plaques from the brain but does not restore the brain's ability to clear those plaques. The brain waste clearance system, or glymphatic clearance, as scientists have named it, is the critical function that removes the toxic waste of the brain, which causes neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.

New study shows Alzheimer's may be driven by poor sleep patterns.

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience suggests that Alzheimer's disease disrupts the body's circadian rhythms, which in turn shut down genes that regulate proper brain function and the ability to clear the brain of waste and harmful materials, like amyloid plaques. Erik S. Musiek, MD, PhD, the Charlotte & Paul Hagemann Professor of Neurology at WashU Medicine, who led the study, finds hope in the new science.

On the road to the Bend Venture Conference (BVC), October 16 and 17. Neurosom's mission is to address one of the greatest health issues of our time: dementia.

Every three seconds, someone in the world develops dementia. Current solutions fall short: medications sedate without restoring brain health, while consumer wearables only track sleep but don’t improve it.
Our Sleep WISP™ system is a simple, wearable headband that can be safely self-administered at home — but it does much more than track sleep. It monitors brain activity in real time using EEG.

Neurosom is an Early Growth Finalist in the Bend Venture Conference

As we approach the Bend Venture Conference on October 16 and 17, Neurosom™ is gearing up to share our mission to optimize sleep and reduce the risk of dementia. Our company was founded by neuroscientists who pioneered innovations in brain monitoring. Through studying the brain, scientists learned that deep sleep is essential for clearing toxic proteins from the brain through the glymphatic system, the brain’s waste removal pathway. When deep sleep is disrupted, glymphatic clearance fails, memory suffers, and neurodegeneration accelerates.
