Your Cortical Avatar Technology
New body without limits.
Our Idea
One in 70 people has their expression stolen by paralysis. Yet their mind works just fine.
Brain implants—Neuralink and the like—can decode the expression before paralysis nullifies it.
Precise, real-time, simultaneous, whole-body motor intentions, unavailable to any other assistive technology.
uCat converts these motor intentions into realistic avatar expressions.
By interacting with uCat, the user is always in control of customizing and mastering their new, paralysis-free body.

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 for risks only experienced outside of the lab. Our team is proud to bake decades of industry-oriented and user-centric practices into our solutions.
