Overview
- Pre-orders for Temple Batch 01 will open on November 1, 2026, with people on the early-access waitlist given priority when sales begin.
- Goyal said every unit in the first batch will be handmade to order and shipped in early 2027, with delivery expected within three months of purchase.
- Temple is a small pill-shaped device that sticks to the side of the head using single-use adhesive 'Grips' and uses optical BrainFlow sensors to track signals linked to cerebral blood flow.
- The company published a 60-participant validation preprint showing Temple readings correlated 0.84–0.91 with time-domain NIRS and has submitted that paper for peer review, so independent confirmation is still pending.
- Price has not been confirmed though Goyal has hinted at about $1,000; the product is marketed for wellness and research rather than medical diagnosis, and broader uses would need further validation and regulatory clarity.
