Current obstacles

Imaging through the intact skullBone scatters and absorbs sound differently in every person; Bridge must correct for that to image without a skull window.

How it works

3 parts

Ping

Ultrasound on a chip

A chip-based ultrasound array sends rapid sound pulses into the head and records the echoes.

Detect

Blood flow shows activity

Busy brain areas draw more blood; functional ultrasound picks up those small blood-flow changes.

Decode

AI reads the signal

Decoding models turn the brain images into intent or commands in real time.

Non-invasive ultrasound brain-computer interface

Silicon Valley startup founded in 2026 by Will Biederman to build a brain-computer interface that needs no surgery: functional ultrasound reads brain activity through the skull and AI models decode it.

Came out of stealth on 6 Oct 2026 with $13.5M led by reMind Capital and General Catalyst.
