Axoft

Axoft is developing an implantable neural interface built from materials engineered to mimic the mechanical properties of soft brain tissue. The company states its implant is roughly 1,000,000 times softer than conventional rigid electronics while carrying about 1,000 times the electrode density of soft implants currently on the market. The stated design intent is to reduce implant drift and long-term tissue damage while preserving high channel counts.

The system is bidirectional: signals captured by the implant are processed by an integrated circuit and passed to software for interpretation, and the software can also drive electrical stimulation of the brain through the implant. Axoft's neural probes are designed to pass through a 2 mm-diameter burr hole and to work with standard neuronavigation tools, allowing access to brain regions including deep structures. Alongside the hardware, the company is building a Brain Foundation Model, software intended to improve decoding and interpretation of neural signals over time. The stated long-term goal is durable communication with any brain region at single-neuron resolution.
