Butterfly Network, Inc., a leader in semiconductor-based ultrasound technology, has responded to the public launch and a neuroimaging milestone achieved by its Embedded™ program partner, Aleph Neuro. The research lab, which develops brain-computer interfaces, announced it has captured the highest-resolution 3D images of the human brain taken from outside the skull using ultrasound transmitted with a contrast agent. Powered by Butterfly’s proprietary Ultrasound-on-Chip™ platform, Aleph Neuro’s technology delivers “MRI-level detail of the brain” without the physical bulk of a traditional MRI machine or the risks of surgical drilling, effectively eliminating two major hardware barriers in neuroimaging.

This development closely follows last week’s unveiling of a full-body ultrasound CT scanner by Midjourney, another key Butterfly Embedded™ licensee, showcasing the expanding commercial momentum of chip-based ultrasound applications. Validating this innovation, Joseph DeVivo, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Butterfly Network, stated, “Researchers like Aleph Neuro are using Butterfly’s Ultrasound-on-Chip™ to reimagine the capabilities of ultrasound and challenge the status quo. I encourage everyone to go to AlephNeuro.com to see what this exciting new lab is venturing to do. We congratulate the Aleph team on their progress.” This breakthrough highlights a significant shift toward accessible, affordable, and highly precise non-invasive brain-computer interfaces with profound implications for the future of human connectivity and digital healthcare.
