About Us

Everything we are, everything we aspire to become, begins with our brain.

Kernel creates the interfaces and insights necessary to unlock the greatest scientific unknown: the inner workings of the human brain and mind.

We started in 2016 and are a full-stack neurotech company with scientists and engineers controlling every step from chip design to optics; control software to ML; experimental design to analysis.

Understanding, interfacing with, and improving the brain requires a technological revolution at every level.
