Sonera Magnetics: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Sonera Magnetics has developed a technology that allows for non-invasive, high-performance brain-computer interfaces, aiming to make brain access available to everyone. Using their core technology, they can detect brain signals with a level of accuracy similar to the best diagnostic tools that use superconducting sensors. This technology can identify magnetic signals from brain neurons firing, utilizing a system that is affordable, low-power, and non-intrusive, thus facilitating the practical use of a brain-computer interface. Sonera's portable brain imaging systems can provide reliable evidence for diagnosing and treating neurological disorders like epilepsy and dementia. The company was established in 2018 in Berkeley, California by Nishita Deka, Dominic Labanowski, and Sayeef Salahuddin.

About FundedIQ's Sonera Magnetics Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Sonera Magnetics is left off this page rather than filled in.
