Magnetic Tides is developing kTMP, a non-invasive brain stimulation platform based on UC Berkeley research. The company sits within therapeutic neuromodulation, with an initial clinical focus on chronic stroke motor recovery and broader applicability across neurological and psychiatric conditions. Its work is centered on improving arm and hand function in patients with long-term motor impairment after stroke.

kTMP, or kilohertz transcranial magnetic perturbation, delivers frequency-specific electric fields through a magnetic stimulation system. The approach is designed to provide spatial targeting and adjustable stimulation parameters, while modulating cortical excitability in circuits relevant to recovery. Magnetic Tides describes the technology as a distinct non-invasive stimulation method that draws on elements of magnetic and electrical brain stimulation.

Magnetic Tides targets patients with chronic stroke through clinical development pathways, with FDA Breakthrough Device Designation reported for improving arm and hand function. The company is best understood as an investigational neuromodulation developer building a new non-invasive stimulation modality for motor recovery and related brain-disorder applications.
