About
The mind is the next frontier.
42.AI studies one thing — the human mind — combining neuroscience, machine intelligence, and a firm ethical foundation. Our work runs through three connected research projects.
How a thought forms
From spark to thought, in milliseconds.
A simplified model of neural signalling — sources & credits.
It begins with a spark.
Light, a sound, a touch — the outside world arrives as a pulse of electricity.
Our Focus
One question, three projects.
We study a single thing — the human mind — and pursue it through three connected research projects. Explore each one below.
Open Neuron
Mapping the human brain, in the open.
An open, collaborative project charting the brain's connections — its wiring diagram, shared with the world.
Explore project →Human Emotion Engine
Teaching machines how humans feel.
A computational model of emotion — so technology can understand and respond to people, not just data.
Explore project →AI Companion
Conversation that understands you.
Research into companion AI that listens, remembers, and responds with genuine social presence.
Explore project →Research in the open
We publish what we learn.
Every project is grounded in peer-reviewed science and shared openly. Researchers, engineers, and institutions are invited to build with us.
We build on open science — from tools like MNE-Connectivity to applied connectomics pioneers like Omniscient Neurotechnology.
For researchers & institutions
Partner with us.
42.AI builds in the open and collaborates. If you're a researcher, lab, or institution working on the brain, emotion, or human-centred AI, we'd like to hear from you.
