REGULATORY STAGE
FDA cleared (510k)
Universal Brain is positioned within the narrow but increasingly active category of objective psychiatric biomarkers, pairing a low-cost dry-electrode EEG cap with ERP software to target treatment selection rather than diagnosis in isolation. Its commercialization path through TMS and esketamine clinics ties adoption to existing CPT reimbursement codes rather than requiring new payer infrastructure.`

Universal Brain received FDA 510(k) clearance for its UB ERP System, a platform that measures brain function using EEG and event-related potentials. The system pairs a dry-electrode headset with software that captures neural responses as patients complete cognitive and emotional tasks, producing analyzed results in under five minutes. Psychiatry traditionally relies on symptom-based evaluation, with few objective tools. Universal Brain positions its approach as a way to bring physiological measurement into treatment selection and CNS drug trials. The company is preparing a commercial launch later in 2026.
