Human intent comes first
We built a prototype that translates brain signals into wheelchair control commands. See it in the demonstration above.
HUMAN-CENTERED AI · ZURICH, SWITZERLAND
We develop AI-powered assistive technology for people with disabilities. Our first prototype turns brain signals into wheelchair control commands.
Working prototype · Seeking partners for the next stage
Product concept01 / THE WORKING PROTOTYPE
Our first application uses a non-invasive EEG interface to translate brain activity into wheelchair control commands. Watch the development footage.
THE DEVELOPMENT APPROACH
A non-invasive EEG interface measures brain activity.
Machine learning translates the signals into directional commands.
The prototype sends commands to the wheelchair control system.
Mohamed Moghazy and Nouraldin Aboalsoad (Nour) worked on the prototype shown in this film.
Development prototype. Integration, safety evidence and validation with users are the next steps.
02 / OUR PROGRESS
We have moved from an idea to a functional prototype. The next step is integration and validation with users.
We built a prototype that translates brain signals into wheelchair control commands. See it in the demonstration above.
Our team brings together AI, robotics, hardware and neurotechnology expertise.
We funded the prototype ourselves. We are now seeking partners and capital to develop it into a product.

03 / A PERSONAL BEGINNING
NEXTSYNAPSE grew from Mateusz Zatylny’s experience of living with dystonia and his ambition to make assistive technology more accessible.
After health challenges interrupted his biology studies, he continued learning independently. Facebook-funded AI courses in 2020 led to the idea of using brain signals as directional commands.
That idea brought an international team together. They funded and built a functional prototype themselves. In 2024, Mateusz began studying Computer Science online at the University of London, specialising in AI and Machine Learning.
THE JOURNEY SO FAR
Mateusz moves to Switzerland to study biology.
Facebook-funded AI courses help turn learning into an idea.
The international team comes together.
Mateusz begins online Computer Science studies at the University of London.
The team builds a functional prototype with its own funds.
Seeking partners and funding for the next stage.
