September 2026 · Next generation: vacuum coupling to the scalp
September 2026 · Next generation: vacuum coupling to the scalp

The next interface is no longer a closed shell. It is a light frame that self-centres on stable landmarks of the skull. A soft silicone sealing ring holds it on the scalp by gentle continuous suction. In finite-element models, the suction tensions the scalp under the coil and so reduces...

June 2026 · Automated scan-to-CAD pipeline goes live

Ordering a guide is now an email. A head scan sent to p•••@brainautics.com comes back as a patient-specific CAD model (STEP) with an order number. The software: cleans the scan; finds the landmarks; places the stimulation target; generates the guide geometry.

2026 · One name: Brainautics

After Multistim (2023) and Helm-T (2024–2025), the company and its products now go by one name: Brainautics, a registered trademark in Austria. The slogan stays the same: personalised neuronavigation. At a partner TMS clinic in Ukraine, three patient-specific helmets are now in regular use.

October 2025 · Austrian patent AT 527771 granted

The Austrian Patent Office decided to grant patent AT 527771, "Helmet for non-invasive brain stimulation". Compared with the cited prior art, its key feature is a scalp-facing suction opening: the guide is held on the head by vacuum, not only by its shape. The patent was entered in the register...

August 2025 · Head capture without MRI

Not every clinic has an MRI for each patient. Brainautics therefore added an optical route. The head is scanned with a tablet while the patient wears a thin cap that presses the hair down. The operator marks landmarks on the cap, and these appear on the coloured 3D model. Such...

2025 · Research helmets for a university medical centre

A university medical centre in Germany ordered two patient-specific research helmets. It was the first order paid in full through a university purchasing process. Each helmet is built from the subject's head model and the coil pose planned by the research team, so the team can return to the same...

2024 · Second-generation helmet and a first US workflow pilot
2024 · Second-generation helmet and a first US workflow pilot

The first lab tests showed two weaknesses: the shell flexed under a heavy, liquid-cooled coil, and the coil seat did not match that coil model exactly. The second generation, delivered in March 2024, fixed both: the coil seat is built from the manufacturer's outline of the actual coil; the walls...

2021–2023 · A new base in Linz and the first research helmets
2021–2023 · A new base in Linz and the first research helmets

In 2021 TMS research groups in the United States and Canada reviewed the approach. Their feedback was consistent: the idea is sound, and a positioning device stands or falls on validation data. That set the agenda for the next years: make the guide stable, then measure how well it reproduces...

2019–2020 · Where it started: a printed guide instead of a navigation system
2019–2020 · Where it started: a printed guide instead of a navigation system

Brainautics began in a TMS clinic in Cherkasy, Ukraine, with a practical question: how do you place the coil on exactly the same spot, at the same angle, session after session, when the clinic has no neuronavigation system?Dr. Arkadii Grygorian, the psychiatrist running the service, borrowed the answer from dental...
