Could you build this?
No Dydema builds non-invasive brain-computer interface hardware and the neural decoding models behind it. This requires custom headset hardware, proprietary neural datasets, and research-grade signal processing that vibe coding can't provide.
What it would actually take: Building a real version needs EEG hardware design with low-noise amplifiers and electrodes, a large curated corpus of labeled neural recordings, and decoding models trained on it. The work demands neuroscience, signal-processing, and hardware-engineering expertise plus regulatory and data-collection capacity.
