Brainif is the operating system for closed-loop biological neural experiments — design, simulate, replay, and analyze living neural systems.
See a closed loop, live.
Pick an input pattern and run the stimulation — watch the signal travel encoder → electrodes → synthetic activity → decoder → feedback.
A research control plane, end to end.
Everything from the experiment spec to the decoded result lives in one governed, reproducible pipeline — the same whether the activity is simulated or replayed.
Experiment design
Compose hypotheses, tasks, encodings and controls in a versioned, reproducible spec.
Electrode mapping
Assign input, output and feedback roles across a multi-electrode array.
Closed-loop feedback
Route decoded activity back into stimulation — open, closed, reinforcement or homeostatic.
Neural-data replay
Import recordings, map fields, and replay them through the same analysis pipeline.
Spike & burst analysis
Per-channel rates, burst detection, latency and stability from any run.
Condition comparison
Feedback vs. no-feedback, baseline vs. adaptation — side by side, descriptively.
Experiment lineage
Every result traces to its config version, simulator, decoder, seed and file hash.
Hardware adapter layer
A vendor-neutral interface ready for live MEA and remote biological-computing backends.
Simulation. Replay. Live.
Every run is labeled with the mode that produced it — so a result is never mistaken for something it isn't.
Simulation
Test experiment logic using synthetic neural activity.
Replay
Import and analyze recorded biological data.
Live
Connect to supported laboratory or remote biological-computing systems.
The instrument, not a dashboard.
Electrode map, live raster, decoder confidence and run metadata — all in one governed view.
Built for the people who run the arrays.
Honest by construction.
Brainif is a software platform and research control plane. It does not claim that simulated neurons are living neurons, and it never infers consciousness.
- Simulated results are labeled clearly and validate software behaviour only.
- Recorded biological data retains its source lineage and file hash.
- Live experiments require approved hardware and laboratory access.
- Brainif does not infer consciousness or make clinical claims.
- Results require appropriate controls and expert interpretation.
Experiments as an API.
Every experiment is a versioned object. Define it in the studio or POST it directly — the same governed pipeline runs either way.
