Empowering Neurophysiology Datafor Open Science
We help research labs standardize, share, and publish their neurophysiology data through custom software solutions and expert consulting.
Research Software Engineers for Neuroscience
We bridge the gap between academic research and professional software engineering. Our team combines deep neuroscience domain expertise with production-grade development practices — delivering solutions that are both scientifically rigorous and built to last.
Domain Experts
Our engineers have published research and understand the nuances of neurophysiology data.
100% Open Source
No vendor lock-in. Every tool we build is open source and belongs to the community.
Production Quality
Professional testing, documentation, and long-term maintainability. Not just research prototypes.
Our Services
CatalystNeuro has worked successfully with diverse scientific research groups in a variety of capacities. All work we do with scientific research groups is open source, so our team can fit seamlessly with research groups without worry of expensive licensing fees or vendor lock-in.

What Our Clients Say
"Working with the team at CatalystNeuro was a terrific, highly productive experience. They revamped a bespoke volumetric imaging pipeline we had developed, integrated it with our behavioral data, and made it all compatible with NWB. My lab has already used their CatalystNeuro pipeline in publication, and will undoubtedly find their NWB toolkit of great use in the future."
