42.AI is built on open science. Our research, and this website, stand on the work of many others — here we credit that work, with its licenses. We aim to give back in kind; see our open-license commitment below.

Our open-source commitment
Building on open research means contributing back. Where 42.AI publishes, we intend to release openly: written material and data under Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY 4.0), and code under permissive licenses (MIT or Apache-2.0). Open Neuron is designed to be open by default.
A note on accuracy
We verify our citations and state relationships honestly. The interactive demos on this site (the connectome explorer, emotion map, and companion chat) are illustrative models, not anatomical atlases or clinical tools. Spotted an error or a missing credit? Please tell us — we'll fix it.
