Most sleep devices describe the night after it happened. BrainAmu is a sleep neurotechnology project in research.
For a decade, wearables have perfected the art of describing the night. BrainAmu starts from a different question: what could research-grade neurotechnology teach us about how sleep holds together?
Devices that watch sleep fall apart.
A project that studies sleep continuity.
BrainAmu is a sleep neurotechnology project in research. Technical details will be shared once the work is mature.
Built on years of work in academic sleep laboratories.
Careful analysis of sleep data, starting from existing research datasets.
Every step tested carefully before any next step. No shortcuts.
Areas of scientific interest for our research. BrainAmu makes no medical claims and is not a medical device.
The condition BrainAmu's founder lives with, and the first reason the project exists.
How sleep and cognition relate — an active field of research.
Nights silently broken into pieces, eroding recovery without ever feeling like insomnia.
How continuous sleep is across the night — a core research question.
How sleep changes with age.
Alex Champavert is himself narcoleptic. BrainAmu did not start as a business plan — it started with fragmented nights, and a wish to understand why some nights hold together and others break.
That lived experience led him into the labs that study sleep at the highest level. He has worked alongside Prof. Patricia Franco at CRNL / Hôpital Femme-Mère-Enfant in Lyon on pediatric sleep, sleepiness and narcolepsy — and with Prof. Isabelle Arnulf's Dream Team at the ICM / Pitié-Salpêtrière in Paris on REM sleep, dreaming and lucid dreaming, two of the most respected names in European sleep science.
Today he also works in front-line memory care, where the cost of broken sleep on cognition is impossible to ignore.
We will not sell certainty we do not have. BrainAmu is a research-stage project, and we believe that transparency is the credibility. Here is exactly where the science stands.
