Silicon meets neuron

Real neurons are cultivated inside a nutrient rich solution,
supplying them with everything they need to be healthy. They grow
across a silicon chip, which sends and receives electrical impulses
into the neural structure.

Raised in a simulation

The world the neurons exist in is created by our Biological
Intelligence Operating System (biOS). It runs a simulated world and
sends information directly to the neurons about their environment. As
the neurons react, their impulses affect their simulated world.

Connect directly to the brain

We bring these neurons to life, and integrate them into the biOS with
a mixture of hard silicon and soft tissue. You get to connect
directly to these neurons. Deploy code directly to the real neurons,
and solve today's most difficult challenges.

Biological neural networks

The neuron is self programming, infinitely flexible, and the result
of four billion years of evolution. What digital AI models spend
tremendous resources trying to emulate, we begin with.

Programmable organic neural networks, born on a silicon chip and
living inside a digital world.

Push the boundaries of synthetic biology and intelligence.

Closed-loop

High-performance closed-loop system where real neurons interact with
software in real time. A robust environment keeps neurons alive for
up to 6 months.

Self-contained

All recordings, applications and life support are on the device. No
external compute required.

Plug & Play

Simply plug in cameras, USB devices, actuators and more to the
Cortical Cloud for use in experiments.

Programmable bi-directional stimulation and read interface to enable
neural communication and network learning.

Touchscreen enabled to quickly visualize system status, view live
data or run pre-packaged assays.

Highly extensible. Easily connect the CL1 to external systems via USB
and ports for broader testing.

Animal-free testing

The CL1 is the first biological computer enabling medical and
research labs to test how real neurons process information - offering
an ethically superior alternative to animal testing while delivering
more relevant human data and insights.

Deeper Learning

Study brain function with unprecedented clarity through biological
computing that captures neural adaptability and learning in
real-time, revealing disease mechanisms and compound effects on
cognition.

Sustainable

Low power, to the extreme

Designed to keep neurons alive for up to 6 months with its internal
life support system, the CL1 needs minimal inputs and a fraction of
energy other technologies use, enabling longer research timelines.
