Unlocking
neuroscience.
Tools to understand the brain and help find treatments for neurodegenerative diseases.
The human cost
Behind every number,
a life changed.
Memory, movement, independence.
Understanding the brain matters.
Natural behaviour.
Meaningful neural data.
Drug research into Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases often begins with animal studies. Recordings from freely moving animals give researchers a clearer view of brain function during movement, exploration and interaction, helping guide the development of new treatments.
Reliable insights depend on devices that minimise their effect on behaviour. NeuroVLC combines a compact 1.4 cm³ headmount weighing ≤ 2.5 g with optical wireless transmission, preserving the full, uncompressed signal. High-quality recordings can reduce failed experiments and unnecessary repeats, saving time and research costs.

A lightweight headmount for freely moving mouse research.
Connected by light.
An optical link carries neural data to a filtered detector above the enclosure.
Full signal. No compression.
Transmit uncompressed neural data at 15.36 Mbps, preserving access to the signal for your analysis.
A single observation can lead to new branches of discovery.
Every discovery begins with a closer look. Preserve the full signal, follow unexpected connections, and let the next question take shape.

Less constraint.
More consideration.
A small interface should leave more room for natural behaviour.
Reducing device size and weight and removing a trailing recording cable are central to our approach. The aim is to support richer observation while giving animals more freedom to explore.
We design with refinement in mind and support the principles of replacement, reduction and refinement—the 3Rs.
