A Symbio world: a fox on the snow at sunrise, beside a still lake

Your body runs on autopilot. Symbio lets you steer it.

It reads your pulse in your face.

Nothing leaves your phone.

Look at the cameraLine your face up and it finds you.
Your pulseFound from your face.

Breathe with the ring until heart and mind settle.

It starts at five and a half breaths a minute, then learns yours.

Worlds to breathe in.

Lake at dusk
Heron at sunrise
Snowfall

Or one that responds to you.

Symbio reads your pulse. NIO reads your brain activity.

Train your brain to perform at its best with NIO.

It shows you your brain’s rhythms live, so you learn to tune them.

NIO
Short for neural input/output. It turns your brain activity into something you can watch, and into commands for your software.

Brain sensing, outside the lab
Pads at the arm tips rest on your scalp and pick up your brain activity, at your desk or on the sofa.

8 channels, 24-⁠bit, 250 samples per second
Enough detail to see your brain activity change from moment to moment.

Sound that answers your brain
Your brain’s rhythms tend to fall in step with a steady beat. NIO reads where yours are and sends soft pulses of sound through bone to nudge them toward the state you choose.

USB-C
Charges with the cable you already have.

Your brain, live
Watch your brain activity change as it happens, and practise calm and clear focus.
