Reimagine reality
"uCat" links you with your new body: Your Cortical Avatar Technology.
Our Idea
Paralysis stops more than 100 millions of us from commanding our bodies.
Certain brain implants, however, can extract your commands before paralysis nullifies them.
uCat turns these commands into actions for your personal avatar, so you can fully express yourself again.
When you master your new body, we connect you to countless virtual worlds where your friends, family, and colleagues await you.

Our Offering
When the user attempts to move, an intracranial motor brain-computer interface acquires the neural activity of millions of cortical neurons and decodes it into behavior such as speech or arm movement. Aiding such complex technology successfully translate from the lab into the clinic, we offer the following products and services:
Behaviorally-diverse participant training tasks in a controlled immersive environment. Study-tailored tasks, decoders, close-loop metrics, and protocols.
For researchers
Embodied virtual avatars through which one can intuitively express themselves across the breadth of generally available virtual experiences.
For patients
Simulation environments for activities and situations of daily living. Automated and engaging participant training during pivotal trials. Increased patient population and HRQoL weight.
For companies
Developed for End Users
uCat stands on the shoulders of giants who dedicate lifetimes to basic science. Expanding their work into consumer products, however, necessitates accounting risks only experienced outside of the lab. Our team is proud to bake decades of industry-oriented and user-centric practices into our solutions.
