Silverline Research develops advanced software platforms and cutting-edge training solutions that integrate neuroimaging and neurostimulation technologies for academic and clinical laboratories.
Our foundation is built on over 15 years of rigorous research and development led by our founder, Dr. Mark Muthalib. Since 2007, his research legacy has spanned leading institutions across Australia, the UK, Europe, and the USA.

We accelerate our trajectory of continuous innovation by synergizing our in-house R&D with strategic academic and industry partnerships.
By collaborating with premier neurotechnology hardware leaders for fNIRS systems (including Artinis Medical Systems and Train.Red), as well as EEG and brain stimulation systems (such as Neuroelectrics and BrainPatch), we are able to dedicate our resources directly toward advancing our core integrated multimodal software platforms.
Today, our collaborative projects actively push the boundaries of non-invasive, real-time human measurement and closed-loop neuromodulation.

Why combine Neuroimaging with Neurostimulation in research and clinical applications presented by Dr. Muthalib
Building upon our established research platforms (OptEStim and MyndSens Pro), Silverline Research is engineering a proprietary closed-loop ecosystem designed to actively combat mental fatigue and accelerate cognitive recovery.
MyndSens® Software: This is our proprietary mobile application designed to capture a comprehensive, real-time picture of cerebral haemodynamics and the user's autonomic state. The platform's capabilities were demonstrated and validated in a high-intensity, hackathon-like environment by leading neurotechnology experts at N-CODE 2024. Currently in beta, the MyndSens app pairs with guided breathwork protocols to seamlessly track and record cerebrovascular and autonomic rhythms.

MyndSwitch® Interface is our advanced prototype wearable interface which is designed to measure cerebral haemodynamics using advanced fNIRS sensors while delivering precise Closed-Loop Auditory Stimulation (CLAS). MyndSwitch moves far beyond passive monitoring; it dynamically optimizes brain states through phase-locked neuromodulation to execute personalized rest activities. Uniquely, the MyndSwitch ecosystem is designed to optimize the physiological states associated with restorative neural processes by guiding the brain into the exact rhythms required for deep, physical recovery.
(The MyndSwitch® platform is currently intended for research and wellness applications. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition.)
