Global Brain has invested in LIFESCAPES Inc. (LIFESCAPES), a company that provides Brain Machine Interface equipment to treat severe paralysis after stroke, through its JGC MIRAI Innovation Fund L.P. (JGC MIRAI Innovation Fund).
Stroke is designated as one of the five major diseases in the world, and it has been said that there is no cure for severe paralysis in motility disorder that occurs after the stroke at a rate of one-third.
