About us

We unite clinicians, scientists, and engineers under one mission.

Eclipse NeuroTech is a French MedTech and DeepTech company whose mission is to provide a safer, more durable, minimally-invasible implantable brain computer interface to users around the world.

Our history

Born from the lab. Built for the clinic.

Eclipse NeuroTech is a spin-off of INSERM, France's national institute for health and medical research. We are born out of the Grenoble neuroscience ecosystem, one of the leading centers for brain-computer interface research in the world. Eclipse was created to take that science out of the laboratory and into the clinic.

10+ years of research

The science takes shape

Academic work at INSERM and Grenoble Alpes University establishes the methods behind low-amplitude epidural signal decoding.

Foundational IP

Patents

The proprietary decoding methodology is protected, turning a decade of research into a defensible technical foundation.

Today

Eclipse NeuroTech

A founding team with over 30 years of combined brain-implant experience comes together to bring the vision of a minimally invasive brain-computer interface toward the patients who need it most.
