About us

Axite is a neurotechnology software company building the cognitive monitoring infrastructure for the next generation of brain-computer applications. Founded out of Leiden University, we develop proprietary signal processing algorithms trained on clinical EEG data. Turning raw brain signals into reliable, scalable software solutions for researchers, clinicians, and hardware partners.

We believe the brain is the most under-leveraged data source in medicine and human performance. Our mission is to make cognitive monitoring accessible, accurate, and deployable at scale so that institutions doing the hardest work in neuroscience don't have to build the software stack from scratch. From epilepsy research to daily cognitive health, Axite is the software layer that makes it possible.

Turning EEG Science into Software

Turning EEG Science into Software

For decades, EEG research lived inside universities and hospitals. The data existed. The science was there. But the software to make it deployable, scalable, and useful outside of a lab that didn't exist. That's what we built.


Axite's proprietary algorithms are trained on clinical EEG data collected across hundreds of research hours and 175+ participants. They detect cognitive states sleepiness, attention, cognitive load, mental fatigue with the accuracy of a lab and the scalability of software. Every product we ship, and every solution we build for partners, runs on that same foundation.
