reccy insights
Starlab’s available company-specific milestones point to a research-led business rather than a sequence of high-profile commercial launches. Its work spans applied neuroscience and neurotechnology, including EEG analysis, brain stimulation, and AI-supported interpretation of brain data. The company’s stated portfolio includes Neuroscience as a Service, ExperienceLab, an EEG-based neurodegeneration diagnostic service, pediatric neurodevelopment research, and EmoWave emotional-response measurement. Starlab reports participation in more than 100 projects and leadership of more than 20, including work connected with EU, ESA, NASA, private foundation, and national funding programs. Hiring signals from early 2026 include a Neuroscience Artificial Intelligence PhD Candidate and a Software Engineer, suggesting continued investment in research and software capabilities. Its recorded Seed round was announced on Jan 1, 2015 for $60,230, with EISMEA as investor. Starlab’s Barcelona identity is distinct from similarly named commercial-space-station news, which is not treated as a company milestone here.
