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.
