Subscalp Neural Interface
Reliability without compromise.
Introducing InScribe, a high-bandwidth brain-computer interface that translates intended speech to text.
InScribe is inserted under the scalp for seamless reliability, but outside the skull for maximum safety.
Insertion is quick and easy using a simple, low-risk, and reversible procedure.
InScribe pairs seamlessly with everyday wearables to provide a frictionless connection to your digital world.
InScribe is a subscalp neural interface, designed to maximize reliability, minimize risk, and unlock wide-spread adoption.
Access to invassive BCIs is limited due to their high risk.
Intracranial devices risk brain damage and infection.
Devices inside the skull also pose major removal challenges.
At the other end of the spectrum, external BCIs are unreliable, which limits real-world utility.
Wearable devices often require complex setup and calibration with every use.
Subscalp BCIs are safe and reliable, unlocking widespread adoption.
Subscalp insertion is quick and safe, requiring 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 inserted 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
Reliable. Scalable. Low Risk
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 also 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.
