The Subscalp Solution
Designed for scalability.
Our blueprint for scalability solves for risk, reliability, and the commercial rollout.
Invasiveness limits accessibility.
Intracranial devices cause brain damage and infection risk.
They also create major removal challenges.
Unreliability limits adoption.
Wearable devices suffer from movement artifact and require complex setup and calibration with every use.
Solutions must be safe and reliable to be widely accessible.
The economic model must work for all stakeholders.
Insertion must be simple, with no special equipment or complex planning.
Insert
Inserted under the scalp through a small incision by a simple low-risk procedure.
Unroll
Once in place, the electrode array is deployed.
Position
The flexible sensor unrolls above the part of the sensorimotor cortex that controls speech.
Connect
The device transmits data wirelessly to the external unit, for a seamless user experience.
The Goldilocks Zone
Intracranial
Works like magic, but carries major risk and accessibility challenges.
fluent
Scalable.
Wearable (EEG/EMG)
Works in controlled settings.

Our subscalp interface is the recipient of two anatomical gifts.
1. The skull is naturally thin over the brain's speech control center, enabling clearer EEG from outside the skull. 2. We can measure micro-activations of the muscles that control speech around the scalp, as well as the information from the brain from the one very fortunate location.
Decoding intended speech is natural starting point. From this foundation, we will build a platform to help people with a wide range of neurological conditions in the future.
