The First Volunteers Of The Cyborg Era
Reimagine reality
Eyes and ears: Nature's gifts to perceive the world. Voice and hands: Tools to interact with it. Cutting-edge technologies intercept both streams. uCat combines them to unleash the potential of human thought.
Transcend Paralysis in Virtual Reality
Paralysis nullifies the brain's commands for the body. Before it happens, implants can extract them as data. The uCat System unwraps this data onto an embodied avatar as speech and movement. Intuitively engaging with their new virtual body, the user gradually regains their agency, expression, and social participation.

Our Proposition
As a person attempts to move, an intracranial motor brain-computer interface acquires the neural activity of thousands 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.
Sam CEO
Sam is the powerhouse of the cell. Commercializing digital biotech products from startup to enterprise he always knows which lever to pull for delivering results.
Luke VR Developer
Luke is a rare breed having already developed a VR rehabilitation app once before. Inside and outside of uCat, Luke actively researches the crossover between VR and biomarkers of flow states.
