Substrates House

London's First Living Laboratory for NeuroAI and AI Safety

A world-class residential hub where neuroscience, ML, and AI safety researchers live, work, and build together—with a focus on neural data collection for AI safety and mind uploading. More than a co-working space. More than a group house. This is where the future of mind and machine is being written.

What Makes Us Different

Live-In Neural Recording

Residents contribute to whole brain emulation research through non-invasive neural data collection.

Cross-Pollination Culture

Neuroscientists meet ML engineers. AI safety meets neurotech. Ideas collide. Progress accelerates.

Hardware Lab On-Site

Prototype neural interfaces, build custom rigs, iterate fast. Not just software—atoms too.

World-Class Events

Talks with LISA, Anthropic, DeepMind. Plus regular Blood on the Clocktower nights.

The Space

Private bedrooms for residents and visiting researchers
Co-working: deep focus + collaboration zones
Neural recording suite (Kernel Flow 2, multimodal capture)
Hardware prototyping lab
Fully equipped gym
Event space (50+ capacity)
Communal kitchen for dinners and late-night breakthroughs

🧠 FUNDING ROUND OPEN

Target: £150,000+ for Year One

Anchor commitment: £30,000 from Netholabs
