Elata is an R&D and neurotech protocol built on Ethereum that is accelerating breakthroughs in precision psychiatry, computational neuroscience, and neurotechnology. We operate at the intersection of open-source neural and biomedical engineering, decentralized science, and cryptographic privacy technologies. Elata's mission is to power the entire ecosystem end-to-end - comprising researchers, clinicians, and citizens - with enhanced capabilities for understanding, measuring, and ultimately improving the way conditions are treated.
-
Quantitative and Computational Psychiatry: The overarching goal of Elata is to support deeply innovative research and development (R&D) aimed at tailoring mental health treatments using biomarkers, neuroimaging, and machine learning.
-
Open Neurotechnology: Elata develops affordable, open-source hardware tools like the Elata EEG device to enable neuroimaging data to scale globally.
-
Decentralization: Given the deeply consequential nature of neurotechnology and brain/behavior-based interventions, Elata uses a DAO governance process, which by nature is transparent, decentralized, and directed by ELTA token holders, making it so anyone can participate.
-
Privacy and Encryption: Elata integrates capabilities such as zero-knowledge proofs, PGP encryption, and decentralized storage to ensure participant confidentiality and data sovereignty spanning different R&D initiatives.

As an open-source project, Elata welcomes contributions from engineers, researchers, and designers.
The highest value-adds for the time being include:
- Rust developers for embedded and signal processing.
- TypeScript/Next.js devs for frontend and dashboard tooling.
- ML researchers with EEG, neuroimaging, or psychiatric modeling experience.
- Biohackers, citizen scientists, and neurotech tinkerers.
