Twenty-five founding members.
One year of measuring the part of you that does the work.
Connectome is the longitudinal intelligence layer for cognition — built with Imperial College London and scientists from around the world, and opening in London to twenty-five founding members.
Why we are doing this, and why now.
You measure your sleep. Your HRV. Your glucose. Your training load. Your VO₂ max. You probably know your resting heart rate within a beat or two. You almost certainly do not know what is happening, longitudinally, to the part of you that closes the deal, runs the operation, makes the call, holds the room.
Cognition has been the missing layer of the quantified self. Not because it doesn't matter — it is the most important layer — but because the measurement was confined to labs. Connectome is what happens when research-grade brain measurement walks out of Imperial College London and scientists from around the world, into a clinic inside a building you already train in, and into an app on your phone.
We are opening with twenty-five founding members in London. The right twenty-five people define the next two hundred. If that is you, we would like to meet you.
"The longitudinal intelligence layer for cognitive resilience."
One hundred people. Seven kinds of operator. Twenty-five places open now.
The Founding 100 is intentionally mixed. The mix is the point — different operators move different interventions and produce a richer baseline cohort. Twenty-five places opening in London now.
Four ten-minute scans. Twelve months of data. One picture that changes how you train your brain.
Week one
A ten-minute fNIRS scan in our clinic inside UNTIL, Soho. You sit, you wear a soft headpiece, you do three short tasks on a screen. We measure cortical haemodynamic activity across your prefrontal cortex while you do them.
Weeks four and twelve
Same protocol. The point is the trajectory, not the snapshot. By scan three, you have a longitudinal line and we can tell signal from noise.
Between scans
You log the things that matter — sleep, training load, supplements, stress events — alongside your scan series. The app surfaces what is moving, with confidence intervals. AI interpretation drafts the so-what; you read it, your practitioner refines it.
Every month
Lab members meet monthly at UNTIL for the Intervention Swap — twenty-five minutes of structured share on what you tried, what moved, what didn't. The Lab is the engine; the cohort is the compounding asset.
Built with researchers. Used by operators.
Connectome's measurement platform is in active use at Imperial College London and scientists from around the world. The LUCID cohort study, run with Imperial, underpins the longitudinal models that you see in your app.
What that means in practice: we publish our methods, we show error bars, we report stability (ICC), and we tell you when a scan is high or low confidence. You can interrogate everything we measure.
What founding members receive — and what we ask in return.
You receive
- One year of Lab tier included — value £1,490.
- Lifetime founding member status, named on the site with your consent.
- A direct line to the founding team — private channel, response in hours, not weeks.
- First access to product features and clinical studies.
- An invitation to the annual founders dinner — private, off the record, mixed table.
We ask
- Three scans inside ninety days. The longitudinal series only works if you turn up.
- Permission to use your data anonymously in cohort reports.
- Willingness to be named publicly if and when you choose to share.
- Two referrals across the next twelve months — people you think belong in this room.
Three tiers, after the founding cohort closes.
Shown for context. Founding members receive the Lab tier for one year as part of the founding offer. Lab is capped at seventy-five London places this year. Concierge is capped at thirty.
Inside UNTIL, Soho.
Connectome's London clinic sits inside UNTIL — London's densest concentration of elite coaches, performance practitioners, and serious operators. You can scan before a workout, after a meeting, between calls. The room is glass-fronted. The brand is partly the watching.
Scan slots: Tuesday and Thursday, by appointment. Founding members get priority booking through the app.
Questions you will have.
Is this a medical device?
No. Connectome is observational. We measure cortical haemodynamics over time and compare against your personal baseline and a research cohort. We do not diagnose or treat anything.
What does the scan actually involve?
You wear a soft, helmet-shaped headpiece for about ten minutes while doing three short tasks on a screen. No injections, no enclosed spaces, no radiation.
What does the helmet measure?
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Specifically, oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin in cortical regions associated with executive function, working memory, and inhibition.
How is this different from an EEG or an MRI?
EEG measures electrical activity at the scalp; it is fast but coarse. MRI is the gold standard for structural imaging but is expensive, slow, and not suitable for repeat measurement. fNIRS is the sweet spot for longitudinal cognitive measurement — repeatable, portable, in clinic, twice a quarter.
What's the difference between Founding 25 and Lab?
The product is the same. Founding 25 is the first cohort of one hundred people we are recruiting in London this year, with twenty-five places open now. Founding members receive Lab tier for a year, lifetime founding status, and the ongoing benefits described above.
Who is behind this?
Connectome is co-founded by Rufus Mitchell-Heggs (PhD, neuroscientist) and the broader Connectome team. The platform is built in partnership with Imperial College London and scientists from around the world. London operations led by the team you will meet when you apply.
When does the cohort start?
Founding 25 applications open May 2026. First scans run from late May onwards. The cohort closes when the twenty-fifth member is confirmed.
Apply for the founding cohort.
Applications reviewed weekly. Twenty-five places. We respond to every application within seven days, whether or not we move forward together.
