Brain-function biomarkers for neuropsychiatry

We bring objectivity to psychiatry.

Psychiatry has never had reliable, objective biomarkers of brain function. Universal Brain measures brain function directly — with dry-EEG and event-related potentials — turning trial-and-error into data-driven decisions.

Our mission

Bring objective brain-function
measures to psychiatry.

We're translating clinical neuroscience into a scalable, medical-grade measurement — so patient care and drug development can rest on brain function, not guesswork.

Objective brain measurement, applied where patient care and discovery need it most.

For clinical care

Monitoring neural functions

EEG-based biomarkers of specific brain functions implicated in depression — giving clinicians data to guide psychiatric care instead of trial and error.

For drug development

Neurotyping for CNS trials

Task-evoked ERPs provide objective, placebo-separating endpoints and support neurotyping — creating more homogeneous groups based on brain function to de-risk trials and sharpen the read on whether a therapy works.

NeurotypingTrial endpoints

The first multi-ERP brain-function biomarker.

Measuring brain function in the context of reward, emotion, attention, and cognitive control in a single session. Where others rely on one marker, multiple ERPs are used to index several domains of brain function, giving a fuller, more reliable readout that powers both patient care and pharma.

Science

Multi-ERP

A first: multiple task-evoked ERPs across reward, emotion, attention & cognitive control in one session — a fuller readout than any single marker.

Hardware

Dry-EEG

Clinical-grade acquisition in ~5 minutes. A scalable dry-electrode cap — no gel, no technician.

Analysis

Neurotyping

Multi-ERP neurotyping aims to predict treatment response — cutting trial-and-error out of care. Investigational.

From a five-minute task to an objective report.

01

Wear the EEG cap

Dry electrodes on standard 10-20 positions. Cap-on to recording in minutes.

02

Perform brief tasks

Reward, emotion & attention tasks evoke ERPs while EEG records time-locked responses.

03

Get a brain-function report

ERP components score into cognitive domains, benchmarked against a clinical population.
