Explore our outcomes:
BlinkLab’s Prepulse Inhibition of Startle test utilizes a well-established neuroscientific method to assess the brain’s ability to filter out irrelevant stimuli. This test measures the response to a sudden, startling sound and the brain's ability to suppress that response when preceded by a softer version of the same sound. Widely used in neuroscience and psychiatry, Prepulse Inhibition of Startle has been shown to be impaired in neurological conditions such as autism and schizophrenia. Our team has adapted this test for smartphones, enabling large-scale studies and at-home testing with ease.
BlinkLab brings the power of eyeblink conditioning to your smartphone, a classical neuroscientific
method first introduced by Pavlov. This test examines the function of specific brain regions, particularly the cerebellum. By smartly combining visual and audio cues and utilizing the smartphone’s hardware, our app allows you to conduct large scale, at-home testing with various variations of eyeblink conditioning.
Startle Habitation, once considered a by-product of prepulse inhibition experiments, is now recognized as a powerful method for measuring the brain’s ability to reduce behavioral responses to a startling stimulus. This reduction, which is not due to sensory or motor fatigue, plays a crucial role in protecting the brain from sensory overload, which is often affected in autism. We’ve adapted this test for smartphones, enabling large-scale and at-home testing.

"For me it's gratifying to apply neuroscience for improving autism diagnosis and care."
Dr. Henk-Jan Boele, co-founder of BlinkLab, leads a team of neuroscientists, medical doctors, and software developers to bring this mission to life. Founded as a Princeton University startup in 2021, BlinkLab went public on the ASX (ASX:BB1) in April 2024 and is now seeking FDA clearance for its first diagnostic product.
Questions turned to answers
We understand you might still have some questions. We tried to list them all here. If your question is not listed, feel free to reach out to our team!
Is your platform already available?
Absolutely! We’re thrilled to share that our platform is currently in its private beta phase. This means we’re giving a select group of users exclusive early access to explore and experience its features while we fine-tune and enhance the platform based on valuable feedback. Stay tuned for updates as we prepare for a broader release!
What research benefits from this platform?
Neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, neurology, epidemiology, pharmacological and behavioral intervention research, particularly studies on sensory processing and neurodevelopmental conditions like autism.
Who is using your platform at this time?
Our platform is trusted and utilized by world-renowned institutions across the globe. Esteemed organizations such as Princeton University, Monash University, and Erasmus MC rely on our solutions to drive innovation, research, and excellence in their respective fields. Join the ranks of these top-tier institutions and discover how our platform can elevate your operations to the next level.
How does the technology work?
When your participants sign up, they get access to the platform through an invite. The participants will watch one or more short videos during which audio cues will be played, eliciting natural facial reflexes. We track these facial movements and translate them to useful data for your research!
