The interface between
human and machine.

We build neuroprosthetic systems that read biological signals and turn intent into movement.

THALAMO signal pipeline: from human intent to physical movementA continuous trace crossing eight stages — human, biological signal, sensor, THALAMO, processing, intent, prosthesis, movement. The raw biological signal is acquired, converted into a smoothed envelope, resolved into a discrete intent, and issued as a movement command.

01/ The problem

Today’s prostheses replace a limb.

We want to restore an interface.

  1. Intent

    Understand what the user wants to do.

  2. Control

    Translate biological signals into precise movement.

  3. Feedback

    Return meaningful information back to the user.

Feedback is a direction we are working toward, not a capability we have today.

02/ The work

What we build.

Surface EMG today, denser sensing as a research path, and models that learn the person wearing the system.

Signal acquisition

Prototype work with surface EMG. Electrode placement, amplification and envelope extraction that stay stable outside a lab bench.

Advanced sensing

A research direction toward higher-density and, later, implantable sensing — finer motor detail than surface electrodes allow.

Intelligent decoding

Models that map biological signals to intended movement, and adapt to the person wearing the system rather than the average of a dataset.

THALAMO is a research and development project. Nothing described here is a medical device, none of it is clinically approved, and no implantable system has been used in a human.

03/ Trajectory

What exists, and what does not.

The further right you read, the less certain it becomes. We would rather be exact about that than impressive about it.
