BRN Discussion Ongoing

[smoothsailing18]

Going from "We are the first mover and only one" to "Competition is always good".

What's next?
"At least we're not last in the race" or
"Oh well, we gave it a good go didn't we?".

Clearly you could do a better job, maybe packup here and head over to silicon Valley and tell Sean how clever you are and we're he's going wrong .

 

[7für7]

How many more times do you want to write this? Everyone here already knows it. If you’re so stressed about it, I’d suggest selling your stocks and investing in an ETF instead. That way, you can be much more relaxed.

Always the same tired response: ‘Just sell and buy an ETF.’ That kind of advice usually comes from those who can’t (or won’t) intellectually process valid criticism. It doesn’t show seriousness – it sounds more like reactive posturing without any meaningful counterarguments. Or maybe it’s just a cry for likes? Ignore

Fix your grammar, then we can talk

That's going to take a while due to my up bringing, however staying focused on BRN why don't you tell us how you would run the show since your so clever DK and full of it , I mean knowledge of course. I have heard you batter this company at every opportunity but really no positive input, enlightened me / us on how Clever you are at running such a company since our hard unrt money is on the table and you have our best interest at heart, I would be all ears on this tale to success that you have over Seans efforts to date ?.

You know the saying: empty drums makes the loudest noise springs to mind, LOL.

Have the dude on ignore.

Pocket specialist everywhere, huh!

A group over on the toilet wants to take some kind of action apparently, as I have a few downrampers I haven't blocked so I can spy on them and see what they are up to. How funny, it's quite laughable actually, they just can't let it go, unbelievable they are wasting energy on it.

AI Anomaly Detection for Seizure Prediction: How BrainChip enables Onsor Technologies NEXA

BrainChip's Akida processor is enabling real-time seizure prediction in wearable devices, marking a breakthrough in low-power, personalized medical AI at the edge.

www.wevolver.com

What’s Next: Scaling Neuromorphic AI in Healthcare​

The capabilities demonstrated in seizure prediction are only a starting point. The same underlying technology—low-power, event-based neuromorphic AI—can be applied to a range of neurological and muscular conditions where early detection and real-time response are critical.

• Beyond Seizure Prediction: AI-powered systems have the potential to predict tremors in Parkinson’s patients before they occur, monitor stroke rehabilitation with greater precision, and detect early signs of cognitive or motor decline. These applications demand constant, adaptive analysis [7,8], something neuromorphic processors can deliver without compromising battery life or data privacy. BrainChip and Onsor are already exploring broader use cases, demonstrating how this platform can scale across multiple domains of personalized, real-time healthcare.
• Gesture-Controlled Prosthetics:In prosthetics and assistive mobility solutions, neuromorphic processors can interpret EMG or neural signals to provide precise, real-time control of limbs. SNNs improve responsiveness while keeping power consumption low, enabling all-day operation. With on-device learning, such systems can continuously adapt to each user’s signal patterns and control behavior, improving over time without retraining [4].
• Continuous Rehabilitation Monitoring: AI-powered wearables can track muscle movements, gait patterns, or facial expressions for 24/7 monitoring. These devices can flag early signs of falls, pain, or emotional distress in patients who may struggle to communicate. Always-on operation makes long-term monitoring possible without constant recharging [9].
• A New Model for Edge AI in Medicine: Medical AI at the edge is becoming more feasible, secure, and personal. BrainChip’s Akida processor enables smart wearables, implants, and monitoring systems that run AI locally without compromising speed or data privacy. Future devices could track brain or heart signals in real time, adapting to individual health profiles without cloud dependency [10].

Seizure prediction powered by BrainChip’s Akida processor demonstrates how real-time, low-power AI can drive meaningful change in everyday healthcare. With solutions like the NEXA Smart Glasses, patients gain autonomy, caregivers benefit from timely insights, and treatment shifts from reactive to proactive. Neuromorphic AI is set to redefine how intelligent devices monitor, learn, and respond: on the edge, continuously, and with precision.

Remember SALUTS (formerly known as Salutes Space), the Space Infrastructure as a Service startup headquartered in Weßling, Germany? https://www.saluts.de

Ever since spotting a picture of an AKD1000 PCIe Board in one of co-founder and CEO Mohamed Sobhy Fouda’s LinkedIn posts back in March 2024, I’ve loosely followed this early-stage startup on LinkedIn, where Fouda confirmed last year that SALUTS had indeed used Akida when developing NEROnaut, their Robot-on-Chip.


Here are several recent LinkedIn posts that caught my eye:

In April, SALUTS and SARsatX Saudi Arabia signed an MoU:

www.linkedin.com

Markus May, a fellow BrainChip shareholder from Germany, congratulated Mohamed Sobhy Fouda in the comment section and asked him whether playing with Akida had remained experimental or whether “the chip” had eventually found its way into this actual application. After thanking him for the good wishes, Mohamed Sobhy Fouda’s somewhat cryptic reply was: “Only this much in advance: surprise - it is a triple shot/tri-shot system.”

Anyway, sounds to me as if the team at SALUTS continues to be enamoured with Akida (no doubt one of the reasons being its commercial availability, see my 25 January post above).

After representing SALUTS at the Make It In The Emirates exhibition in Abu Dhabi (18 - 22 May), the company’s Dubai-based Regional Sales Manager Engy Zaher posted:

On May 25, Mohamed Sobhy Fouda posted about SALUTS returning to London and launching next-gen defence intelligence from Fleet Street (where their London office was registered in December 2024, https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/16148749/officers), as partners in “a British-German alliance, powered by teams in London, Edinburgh, Munich & Berlin.” Since the company is headquartered in Weßling just outside of Munich, two of those teams (London and Munich) appear to be from SALUTS, which leaves us with two yet undisclosed partners in Edinburgh (close to where Mohamed Sobhy Fouda spent a year as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Trainee with Perth-based Air Service Training in 2017/2018) and Berlin (where he subsequently moved to from Scotland and graduated with a Master of Space Engineering from TU Berlin in 2022).

Strangely, this LinkedIn post was deleted a day or so later. So far nothing else has been revealed, despite the Christmas 2024 announcement that there would be a release on 25 May 2025.

However, there was a different reveal on 31 May, again relating to Saudi Arabia: a strategic partnership with a Saudi Arabian company called Unifiaccess.

The thing with space-tech start-ups like SALUTS, EDGX or ANT61 is of course that they don’t have the financial means to license our IP - instead, those early stage small players would instead want to purchase physical Akida chips to integrate into their offerings, which will obviously not be high volume productions in the millions, unlike some consumer products that could benefit from neuromorphic technology. Also, we know the EDGX DPU comes with an optional neuromorphic Akida add-on (and I wouldn’t be in the least surprised if this was over time also extended to an optional SpiNNaker 2 add-on, cf.
https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-438883), so not every unit sold will have our technology in it.

Even though early-stage space-tech startups are not going to bring us the much-needed revenue in the near future, it is still encouraging to get our tech validated by more and more of them. And don’t forget that their own ecosystem network keeps growing as well.

Whether they will all mature into successful companies one day remains to be seen, of course. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

The Space Review: NASA’s future in the balance

​ Jared Isaacman was days away from being confirmed as NASA administrator, and taking on the largest budget cuts in the agency’s history, when the White House pulled his nomination May 31. (credit: NASA/Bill Ingalls) NASA’s future in the balance​ by Jeff Foust Monday, June 2, 2025​ At the end of last week, the space community was gearing up for more bad news. While there was no formal announcement, NASA was widely expected to release more details about its fiscal year 2026 budget proposal. The White House had released top-level details in a “skinny” budget released in early May (see “Budget cuts and the fraying of international partnerships”, The Space Review, May 12, 2025), but NASA would go into details about how the cuts in the skinny budget would be implemented: which missions and programs would be cancelled or scaled back, and which few lucky ones would be increased. The release of the detailed budget would help illustrate the magnitude of the reductions to the space community as well as to members of Congress who, in the coming weeks and months will consider, or cast aside, the proposal as they craft appropriations bills. It was also shaping up to be the first major challenge for NASA incoming administrator—until it wasn’t. Deep cuts​ Normally NASA budget rollouts are events. In recent years, NASA administrators have given “State of NASA” speeches the day the budget is announced, with a briefing later in the day to discuss what was in, or cut from, the proposal. This year was different. There was no “State of NASA” speech, no briefing, no press release, and not even a formal advisory in advance. Instead, at about 4 pm EDT on Friday the 30th, NASA posted the documents on its website with zero fanfare. Looking at the document, one can understand why NASA didn’t want to publicize it. The budget cancelled missions and programs right and left to achieve the $6 billion in cuts from the agency’s 2025 budget of about $24.9 billion. Those cuts were most visible in science. According to The Planetary Society, 41 individual projects, both standalone missions and contributions to other missions, are slated for termination in the 2026 budget proposal. They range from Mars Sample Return (MSR), the multibillion-dollar program that the skinny budget already disclosed would be canceled, to many ongoing missions in extended phases whose annual budgets are in the low millions of dollars each. “It’s generally pretty much what we expected,” Casey Dreier, chief of space policy at The Planetary Society, said in an interview shortly after the release of the budget. That was based on the overall budget reductions for science included in the skinny budget, which slashed science spending by 47% from 2025. The skinny budget had listed only two missions, MSR and Landsat Next, for termination (Landsat Next, the document said, would be restructured in some way to lower its costs, with work continuing another line item.) The detailed budget showed how far-reaching the proposed cuts were, Some of the missions slated for cancellation are large, like the Earth System Observatory line of missions, still largely in early phases of development. Also cancelled was the Astrophysics Probe program, also in its early phases now—NASA selected two concepts for further study last year—but which would have a full cost of about $1 billion. The budget, released almost four years after NASA selected two Venus missions in its latest Discovery program competition, DAVINCI and VERITAS, would cancel them both. It would also cancel NASA’s contribution to EnVision, a European Space Agency mission to Venus launching around the same time. However, small missions in development also got the axe, like the Compton Spectrometer and Imager as well as Ultraviolet Explorer missions in astrophysics. It also seeks to cancel NASA’s role in ESA’s Rosalind Franklin rover mission to Mars, where NASA offered to provide thrusters for the landing platform, radioisotope heating units and a launch to replace components that Roscosmos had provided. A wide range of missions already operating and in their extended phases would be terminated in the budget. The biggest of them is the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, which a year ago NASA was considering budget cuts that astronomers warned were tantamount to cancellation. The new budget simply zeroes out the budget for Chandra. The Hubble Space Telescope would continue, but with some modest funding cuts. The scale of those terminations surprised even Dreier. “I’d say some of the surprises were things like MAVEN, Juno, New Horizons; these really unique and arguably infrastructure-related assets,” he said. MAVEN, a Mars orbiter, is also used as a communications relay. Also terminated in the budget proposal is OSIRIS-APEX, the extension of the OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission that will go to the asteroid Apophis just after its close Earth flyby in 2029. He was also surprised that the budget would effectively end NASA support of plutonium-238 production needed for radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) and heating units. “The argument is that we no longer need a presence in the outer solar system, so we don’t need plutonium any more,” he said. There was one bit of good news for science in the budget. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which leaked budget documents in April suggested would be terminated, is funded in the budget. However, it does do at a lower level than projected: $156.6 million for fiscal year 2025, versus a projected $376.5 million that NASA said last year the mission would need in 2026 as it worked towards a launch as soon as the fall of 2026. “NASA is actively evaluating cost-saving strategies and identifying schedule optimization opportunities to enable the mission to proceed with this reduced funding level,” the budget document said. But Dreier noted that the spacecraft is now nearly complete, with most of its overall budget already spent: “Cutting it in half and expecting to save money, that doesn’t make sense.” Many of the other reductions in the NASA budget had already been telegraphed in the skinny budget: ending SLS and Orion after Artemis 3, cancelling the Gateway, potentially reducing the size of crew on the International Space Station, and slashing many space technology programs. The skinny budget had hinted at new investments in Mars technology, and the budget does more than $1 billion for projects associated with human Mars exploration. That amount includes $200 million mission for “a near-term entry, descent, and landing demonstration for a human-class Mars lander” and another $200 million for commercial payload deliveries to Mars. The budget documents, though, provide few specifics about those new initiatives: the section on new Mars technology investments is less than a page. The budget includes $864 million for a new “Commercial Moon to Mars (M2M) Infrastructure and Transportation Program”. That would go towards developing a commercial system to replace SLS/Orion as well as early work on “a space suit appropriate for use by astronauts on the Martian surface.” The program will also fund lunar and Martian relay satellites and be the new home of the Commercial Lunar Payload Services program, currently hosted by NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. With all those cuts come job reductions. A table tucked away in the back of the 462-page budget document notes that NASA has 17,391 civil servants in fiscal year 2025. In fiscal year 2026, that would fall by a third, to 11,853. Some field centers would see even larger cuts: the Goddard Space Flight Center would lose nearly 50% of its civil servant workforce, while the Ames Research Center would lose nearly 40%. The document, though, says little about those cuts. It makes only passing references to “workforce impacts” and “workforce reshaping efforts” without discussing how they would be implemented. The budget proposal will likely face strong opposition from Congress. Some members, primarily Democrats, have criticized the budget. “This sick joke of a budget is a nonstarter,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), ranking member of the House Science Committee, said in a statement Monday. “Republicans need to join Democrats in fighting for the programs they once supported, and their communities thrive on.” “We've heard from Republican offices that this is dead on arrival, absolutely deader than dead on arrival,” Dreier said. Isaacman out​ For about 24 hours, the budget proposal appeared to be the first major challenge for NASA’s expected next administrator, Jared Isaacman. Just before the Memorial Day holiday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) filed cloture on Isaacman’s nomination, a procedural move intended to set up a vote on the nomination this week. By the end of this week, most expected Isaacman to be sworn in. He would have faced strong questions about how much he supported this budget proposal, which would now be his. He had deflected questions about potential budget cuts during his confirmation process, stating that he was not involved in its development, but noted that a potential cut of neatly 50% to NASA science “does not appear to be an optimal outcome.” Did he still believe that now that he was running the agency and handed a budget with such a massive cut? Within hours, the White House confirmed that Isaacman was out. “It’s essential that the next leader of NASA is in complete alignment with President Trump’s America First agenda and a replacement will be announced directly by President Trump soon,” White House spokesperson Liz Huston said in a statement. That statement, though, gave no reason for why the White House was withdrawing the nomination, and even left open the chance that Isaacman had decided to withdraw. Trump provided a few more details later Saturday evening. “After a thorough review of prior associations, I am hereby withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacman to head NASA. I will soon announce a new Nominee who will be Mission aligned, and put America First in Space,” he stated. Those “prior associations” were not identified, but appear to be a reference to Isaacman’s past donations to Democratic candidates and party offices. Those donations, though, were publicly known for months, which led to speculation again that the decision was linked to fraying ties between Trump and Musk, as the latter exited his formal role in the administration just a day earlier. Whatever the reason, the decision leaves NASA without a permanent leader just as it faces the steepest budget cuts in its history. That has demoralized the agency’s workforce and sent shock waves of concern through the rest of the space community. Isaacman “ran into the kind of politics that is damaging our country. Republicans and Democrats supported him as the right guy at the right time for the top job at NASA, but it wasn’t enough,” said Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), himself a former astronaut, in a post Monday. “It’s incredibly frustrating that this administration did this to him and his family but I know he’s not done yet and he has a lot left to offer space exploration and our nation.” Isaacman himself took the high road in his own online comments about the withdrawal, saying the six months since Trump announced his intent to nominate Isaacman “have been enlightening and, honestly, a bit thrilling.” He added, “I’ll always be grateful for this opportunity and cheering on our President and NASA as they lead us on the greatest adventure in human history.” But right now, few other people are cheering on NASA as the one-two punch of the budget cuts and withdrawn nomination create a dark mood unlike any seen at NASA outside of spaceflight tragedies. The agency’s future is at stake as it enters uncharted fiscal waters with no one at the helm.

Trump Ditches Isaacman Amid Record NASA Cuts

Trump Ditches Isaacman Amid Record NASA Cuts​

By Tim FernholzJune 2, 2025

All this and more. Image: NASA/Bill Ingalls.


President Donald Trump abandoned Jared Isaacman, his nominee for NASA administrator, a day after proposing record cuts to the agency that could leave it with budget levels last seen before US astronauts first reached space, after adjusting for inflation.

The chaotic weekend began with the Friday release of the full President’s Budget Request, without the typical briefing for journalists by agency leaders. On Saturday, Semafor broke the news that Trump would pull his nomination of Isaacman—the software entrepreneur and private space explorer chosen to lead NASA in December, who was poised to get a vote as soon as this week.
“It’s essential that the next leader of NASA is in complete alignment with President Trump’s America First agenda and a replacement will be announced directly by President Trump soon,” Liz Huston, a White House spokesperson, said in a statement.

Bad alignment? It wasn’t a dispute over the cuts, according to the New York Times: Isaacman, whose nomination was driven by his relationship with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, was the victim of administration in-fighting. With Musk purporting to leave government service (the truth isn’t so clear), Musk’s internal rivals reportedly told Trump about Isaacman’s past donations to Democratic politicians, leading the capricious president to reject him.

Isaacman has also given money to Republican candidates (including Trump himself), but he is clearly more of a moderate than a MAGA animal. Isaacman thanked Trump and wished NASA well in a statement on social media.

Next in line: Another nomination process will leave NASA rudderless even longer and without a voice in the budget process. Ars Technica reports that one name under discussion is retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast. Kwast is co-founder and CEO of SpaceBilt, served as CEO of Skycorp, and has expressed concern about China reaching the Moon before the US returns.

Devastating cuts: As the skinny budget previewed, Trump took an ax to the world’s premier space agency. The plan envisions firing more than 5,000 NASA employees and canceling 41 scientific projects—including 19 active missions, such as Juno, Maven, and OSIRIS-APEX.

Casey Dreier, the policy chief at the Planetary Society, estimates that $12B of prior NASA spending will be stranded by the decisions—about twice what is being cut from the budget. The White House also proposed to run the ISS with a skeleton crew for the next four years, limiting the return on more than $100B of US investment on the orbital platform.

Mainly, though, there is a lot of handwaving about what will replace Artemis—whose major elements are set to sunset after the planned Artemis III Moon landing no earlier than 2028—and a blank space for many US allies across the world who thought they were investing time and political capital in an enduring lunar return.

Instant reaction:

• “They always say it’s dead on arrival—this is extra dead,” Dreier said.
• “My sense is that this budget is dead on arrival in Congress,” Rep. George Whitesides (D-CA) told Payload.
• Key Texas Republicans—including Rep. Brian Babin and Sen. Ted Cruz, whose Houston constituents would play a major role in the lunar return—have yet to comment publicly on the proposal.

Beyond policy disagreements, senators aren’t going to be happy that all their work vetting Isaacman—who at least won the confidence of the committee overseeing NASA—went to waste.

Silver linings: Some programs thought to be under threat survived, including the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, the Dragonfly mission to Saturn’s moon Titan, and the NEO Surveyor. Still, cuts will have an impact—Roman will be delayed at least another year.

Martian mess: The White House cited Trump’s “bold mission of planting the American flag on the planet Mars” in its statement withdrawing Isaacman’s nomination, but its Martian priorities don’t quite line up.

The budget cancels MAVEN, a satellite already acting as a comms relay at Mars, in favor of a yet-to-be-designed commercial comms relay project. It also halts production of Plutonium-238, a key material for the systems that drive Martian missions, which was only recently resumed to reduce dependence on Russia. The budget also cancels Mars Sample Return, which was expected to conduct more scientific research concerning the makeup of the planet Trump hopes to reach.

The rest of the new $1B+ Mars exploration budget is here:

• $350M for Mars tech;
• $200M for payload delivery to Mars ;
• $200M “to conduct a near-term entry, descent, and landing demonstration for a human-class Mars lander”;
• $120M for Mars robotic-exploration missions;
• $80M for comms relay around Mars;
• $80M for computers, comms development, and surface power;
• $50M for Mars suits;
• $50M to mature transport to and from the surface.

Many of these efforts are tailored to support SpaceX’s exploration agenda, but they may struggle to find backers if Musk is no longer in the driver’s seat for US space policy.

COTS for everywhere: The budget proposes using commercial transportation to reach the Moon and Mars, following the cancellation of SLS and Orion. It’s a hard pivot from NASA’s previous insistence on preventing a decade-long (or more) capability gap like the one seen when the Space Shuttle retired. Neither SpaceX’s Starship nor Blue Origin’s New Glenn, two often-mooted deep space rocket replacements, appear like they’ll be ready for prime time by the end of 2028.

Too bad for the little guys: NASA SBIR and STTR funding will be cut by $50M next year, slowing an important source of funding for startups developing advanced technology.

PA-OH No: This may be of parochial concern to your author, but: The budget also cuts public affairs budgets at every NASA center, with only headquarters expected to have a communications office. That will make it harder, not easier, for taxpayers to figure out what their space exploration money is spent on—and for the space agency to communicate why its work is critical to humanity.

Next up: Congress seems likely to enact its own NASA budget, which could tee up another fight with the White House: Russ Vought, the OMB head whose dislike of NASA has driven the dramatic cuts to the agency, said on Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union that the administration could still ignore Congress’ spending priorities through a process called “impoundment” that was made illegal in 1974.

AI Anomaly Detection for Seizure Prediction: How BrainChip enables Onsor Technologies NEXA

BrainChip's Akida processor is enabling real-time seizure prediction in wearable devices, marking a breakthrough in low-power, personalized medical AI at the edge.

www.wevolver.com

What’s Next: Scaling Neuromorphic AI in Healthcare​

The capabilities demonstrated in seizure prediction are only a starting point. The same underlying technology—low-power, event-based neuromorphic AI—can be applied to a range of neurological and muscular conditions where early detection and real-time response are critical.

• Beyond Seizure Prediction: AI-powered systems have the potential to predict tremors in Parkinson’s patients before they occur, monitor stroke rehabilitation with greater precision, and detect early signs of cognitive or motor decline. These applications demand constant, adaptive analysis [7,8], something neuromorphic processors can deliver without compromising battery life or data privacy. BrainChip and Onsor are already exploring broader use cases, demonstrating how this platform can scale across multiple domains of personalized, real-time healthcare.
• Gesture-Controlled Prosthetics:In prosthetics and assistive mobility solutions, neuromorphic processors can interpret EMG or neural signals to provide precise, real-time control of limbs. SNNs improve responsiveness while keeping power consumption low, enabling all-day operation. With on-device learning, such systems can continuously adapt to each user’s signal patterns and control behavior, improving over time without retraining [4].
• Continuous Rehabilitation Monitoring: AI-powered wearables can track muscle movements, gait patterns, or facial expressions for 24/7 monitoring. These devices can flag early signs of falls, pain, or emotional distress in patients who may struggle to communicate. Always-on operation makes long-term monitoring possible without constant recharging [9].
• A New Model for Edge AI in Medicine: Medical AI at the edge is becoming more feasible, secure, and personal. BrainChip’s Akida processor enables smart wearables, implants, and monitoring systems that run AI locally without compromising speed or data privacy. Future devices could track brain or heart signals in real time, adapting to individual health profiles without cloud dependency [10].

Seizure prediction powered by BrainChip’s Akida processor demonstrates how real-time, low-power AI can drive meaningful change in everyday healthcare. With solutions like the NEXA Smart Glasses, patients gain autonomy, caregivers benefit from timely insights, and treatment shifts from reactive to proactive. Neuromorphic AI is set to redefine how intelligent devices monitor, learn, and respond: on the edge, continuously, and with precision.

If it's being talked about its being worked on.
Wearables for Parkinson's tremor detections obviously far off.
A quiet one not mentioned is concussion in elite contact sports. This will not be long. Elite sporting bodies are facing billions of $$ in claims and the sports need early detection mechanisms and measurement.

[manny100]

Are there any other EDGE AI company Roadmaps which rival BRN's out there at the moment??

 

[Pom down under]

I hope I’m wrong, but I got a feeling we all moaned about not getting some of these social media announcements onto the asx, that the company will stop posting on social media and we won’t get any asx announcements as well as it has gone really quite since the AGM.
