Averic, the Parameter Search Engine for the Nervous System
Averic is building an autonomous laboratory that discovers neuromodulation protocols by selecting, running, and learning from experiments in living neural models.
Field notes
Averic frames protocol discovery as sequential experimental learning rather than model training on published papers. Its illustrative ultrasound search spans 12,000 coarse configurations, with the page estimating 5.5 months of continuous bench time at 20 minutes per manual trial. The described loop selects one experiment at a time, measures living-model responses through computer vision and recordings, and updates the response landscape. A C. elegans figure shows seizure-like activity detected and interrupted with ultrasound across a 300-second sweep.
