# Science Corporation — Synapse Protocol

> Science Corporation is a neurotechnology company (founded 2021 by former Neuralink
> president Max Hodak) building brain-computer interfaces and implantable neural devices.
> Its developer surface is the Synapse Protocol: a gRPC / Protocol Buffers standard API for
> discovering neural interface devices on a local network, configuring on-device signal
> chains, and streaming high-throughput neural data over UDP (the Neural Data Transport
> Protocol, NDTP). Official client libraries ship for Python, TypeScript, and C++.
