Making biocomputing accessible.
We're building the tools that will make biological neural networks as easy to work with as cloud computing. Open-source, research-grade, and designed for the real constraints of living tissue.
Our mission
To create a harmonious integration between biological and artificial intelligence — specifically by making biocomputing accessible to researchers and developers, lowering the barrier to entry for this energy-efficient computing paradigm.
We believe that the extraordinary efficiency and adaptability of biological neural networks shouldn't be locked behind specialized expertise and proprietary platforms. The next breakthrough in biocomputing is as likely to come from an independent researcher as from a large lab — if they have the right tools.
Our approach
Build in public
We share our research, experiments, code, and even our failures openly. Biocomputing is too important to develop behind closed doors.
Respect the biology
Living tissue isn't silicon. We design our tools around the real constraints and capabilities of biological substrates — stochasticity isn't a bug, it's a feature.
Abstract, don't obscure
Our hardware abstraction layer makes biocomputing platforms interoperable without hiding the fascinating complexity underneath. Researchers keep full control.
Demonstrate, don't just theorize
We build real applications — starting with music — that show what biological neural networks can actually do. Working demos, not just papers.
Why a jellyfish?
Our logo is a jellyfish — and there's a reason it's not a brain.
Jellyfish possess one of the oldest neural networks in nature: a distributed nerve net with no central brain. They process information, respond to stimuli, and navigate their environment using a decentralized architecture that predates the vertebrate brain by hundreds of millions of years.
The green in our logo comes from GFP — green fluorescent protein — which was originally isolated from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. GFP became one of the most important tools in neuroscience, allowing researchers to make living neurons visible under a microscope. The jellyfish literally gave science the ability to see the brain at work.
The circuit-trace tentacles represent computation emerging from biology. The ascending motion represents where we're going: upward, forward, alive.
