01 / THE REASON WE EXIST

Technology should expand what people can do.

NEXTSYNAPSE is a Swiss AI startup with an international team. Our ambition goes beyond one device: to build human-centered assistive technology that supports independence, dignity and everyday possibilities.

01

Human intent comes first

People remain at the center. We explore how AI software and hardware can support the actions they want to take.

02

A real starting point

Our first application is a brain-computer interface for wheelchair control, bringing the broader vision into a concrete prototype.

03

Built with purpose

The project grows from lived experience, independent learning and a shared commitment to more accessible technology.

02 / TECHNOLOGY IN PRACTICE

From intentto movement.

Our first project explores translating non-invasive EEG signals into wheelchair control commands. A functional prototype gives us a foundation for the next stage.

THE DEVELOPMENT APPROACH

01Capture a signal

A non-invasive EEG interface measures brain activity as an input for the control system.

02Interpret intent

Machine learning explores how those signals can be translated into directional commands.

03Support an action

Wheelchair control is the first application. Shared control, safety supervision and user validation are priorities in the proposed productization plan.

The system is a development prototype. The next phase focuses on integration, safety evidence and validation with users.

03 / A PERSONAL BEGINNING

Lived experience.Shared ambition.

NEXTSYNAPSE began with Mateusz Zatylny's experience of living with dystonia and a conviction that technology can open new possibilities.

When health challenges interrupted his biology studies, he continued learning independently. In 2020, a Facebook competition funded his AI courses. An idea emerged: classify brain signals and turn them into directional commands.

THE JOURNEY SO FAR

An idea, built step by step.

  1. 2016

    A new beginning

    Mateusz moves to Switzerland to study biology.

  2. 2020

    Learning becomes an idea

    Facebook-funded AI courses lead to exploring brain signals as directional commands.

  3. 2021

    NEXTSYNAPSE is founded

    An international team comes together around assistive technology.

  4. 2024

    The learning continues

    Mateusz starts online Computer Science studies at the University of London.

  5. PROTOTYPE

    An idea becomes tangible

    The team develops a functional prototype using its own funds.

  6. NEXT

    From prototype to product

    Seeking the partners and capital for a staged productization programme.

04 / PEOPLE BEHIND THE PURPOSE

Different expertise. One shared direction.

An international founding team brings together lived experience, AI, robotics, hardware and neurotechnology.
