Our Vision
Founded in 2016 by Bryan Johnson, Kernel's team of world-class engineers, neuroscientists, and physicists have built unparalleled technology for noninvasively measuring the brain and building biomarkers.
Kernel Flow allows for natural head motion, a wide variety of stimuli and peripherals, various natural environments, and user interaction, making it the first scalable technology that can achieve research-grade neuroimaging quality.
Our mission is to use our proprietary technology to accelerate treatment discovery, improve patient outcomes, and transform precision neuromedicine.
