Science Corporation

Science Corporation is a neurotechnology company founded in 2021 by former Neuralink president Max Hodak, developing brain-computer interfaces and implantable neural devices to restore vision, cognition, and mobility (its PRIMA retinal implant and biohybrid BCI are its marquee programs). Its developer-facing surface is the Synapse Protocol, a flexible gRPC / Protocol Buffers standard API — paired with the Neural Data Transport Protocol (NDTP) — for discovering neural interface devices on a local network, configuring on-device signal chains (broadband source, spike detector, electrical/optical stimulation, disk writer, camera nodes), and streaming high-throughput neural data over UDP. Official client libraries ship for Python (science-synapse, including the synapsectl CLI), TypeScript, and C++, all generated from the open protobuf definitions in the sciencecorp GitHub org.

Science Corporation publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Neurotechnology, Brain-Computer Interface, Neural Interface, and Medical Device.

Science Corporation’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, changelog, support, and 4 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/science-corporation: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you?
