Scientific R&D and consulting for preclinical data infrastructure.
Neuronautix builds the methods, the tools, and the metadata layer that turn fragmented preclinical data into reusable scientific knowledge. We deliver across three pillars: consulting on Home-Cage Monitoring and FAIR data, R&D co-development of new algorithms with academic partners (CNRS/LIRMM), and products derived from our open-source stack.
Positioning
Three pillars — consulting, R&D, and products
Neuronautix is structured around three complementary activities. Consulting brings independent expertise into your lab. R&D co-development invents new algorithms and methods with academic and industry partners. Products package mature open-source research into deployable offerings.
R&D co-development
We develop new methods, not only analyse data: ontology-constrained LLM navigation, multi-agent scientific reasoning, and neuro-AI / stat-AI embedding methods for preclinical knowledge generation. Lead academic partner: Dr. Konstantin Todorov (CNRS/LIRMM).

Home-Cage Monitoring Expertise
Home-Cage Monitoring is becoming essential for modern preclinical neuroscience, but choosing the right system is difficult. Each platform differs in behavioral resolution, sensors, data structure, analysis possibilities, animal welfare impact, cost, scalability, and compatibility with existing workflows.
Neuronautix helps laboratories navigate this complexity with independent scientific guidance to compare and implement HCM solutions, including commercial systems, DIY platforms, video-based tracking, sensor-based monitoring, physiological recordings, and multimodal approaches.
- System selection and comparison
- Experimental design for HCM studies
- Behavioral and physiological readout definition
- Data extraction, cleaning, and visualization
- Metadata structuring and FAIR documentation
- Training and support for laboratory teams
Analysis pipelines
From raw data to publication-ready results
Neuronautix builds reproducible data workflows for behavioral and physiological datasets. We help transform raw recordings, tracking outputs, sensor data, and metadata tables into clean, interpretable, and publication-ready results.
- Behavioral tracking analysis
- Home-Cage Monitoring analytics
- ECG and HRV analysis
- Circadian and longitudinal activity metrics
- Multimodal data alignment
- Custom Python workflows
- Publication-ready figures and reports
Metadata and FAIR data
Metadata Management & FAIR Data Consulting
High-quality preclinical research depends not only on good experiments, but also on well-structured metadata. Critical information about animals, groups, procedures, devices, housing conditions, timelines, files, and analysis decisions is often fragmented across notebooks, spreadsheets, local folders, and institutional systems.
Neuronautix helps research teams design practical metadata workflows aligned with FAIR principles, data traceability, reusable datasets, and documentation that supports reproducibility, collaboration, and long-term reuse.
- FAIR data strategy for preclinical research
- Metadata schema design
- Experimental subject and cohort tracking
- Dataset documentation and provenance
- Ontology-aware metadata structuring
- Preparation for data reuse, sharing, and interoperability
