Why we do what we do
As a group of young researchers and engineers, we share a common passion: building tools for studying the mechanisms of the brain.
The idea for our technology started during our academic careers, when we were challenged to target cubic-millimeter sized areas invasively. Because existing tools were not satisfying our scientific needs, we designed a novel neuronavigation system with highest precision and reliability. But the system should be more than that. We aimed for a technology that would synergistically support and guide surgeons in their daily procedures.
Today, our frameless, markerless and wireless system is ready to set surgeons free and to allow them to focus on their essential commitment: to perform precise interventions in the central nervous system. So far, we have demonstrated the system’s capabilities in a wide range of research applications, including microelectrode implantations, TMS and optogenetics — and there is more to come.
Our mission is to keep building tools that benefit neuroscientists and surgeons — from the early stages of an experiment all the way to the operating room — together with our research partners and the University Clinic Linz.
What we believe.
Three principles that shape how we design our hardware, write our software and run the company.
Precision
Sub-millimeter accuracy is not a marketing number. It is a requirement we design every camera, instrument and algorithm against — and verify on every system that leaves our shop.
Focus
Surgeons should focus on the surgery, not on the system. Frameless, markerless and wireless is not a list of features — it is the freedom to move and think during a procedure.
Craft
The best tools are built next to the people who use them. We work directly with our research and clinical partners, prototype fast, and iterate until the result fits the hand and the workflow.
