We develop a wide range of neurotechnologies to record and manipulate neural circuits with a high precision. Our core technologies are ultra-thin, highly flexible neural interfaces that we design and manufacture in-house. These probes seamlessly integrate with brain tissue and offer significant advantages compared to standard microelectrode arrays for basic and translatable neuroscience. Our mission is to use our advanced technologies to study how the brain computes and determine how neurological disorders disrupt these computations. Ultimately, we envision our work leading to new methods for treating paralysis, motor disorders, and learning disorders with next-generation human neural interfaces.
