Why do some videos stop the scroll? Why does a perfect thumbnail still drop off at second 11? The answers are not in the analytics. The answers are in the brain.
Korviq was built on one question — what if you could read the brain before you posted?
What we believe
Most content tools tell you what happened after the fact — useful for understanding the past, useless for changing the next video you are about to publish.
Korviq tells you what is about to happen — what a viewer's brain will do, second by second — before you hit publish. Then it tells you exactly what to change. This is not a better version of existing analytics. It is a different category of tool entirely: neural marketing intelligence.
The science
fMRI is the gold standard for measuring human brain activity — but scanners cost millions and cannot scale. Brain encoding models solve this: they learn the relationship between a stimulus and the fMRI response it produces, then predict what a scan would look like for any new stimulus, without a scanner.

|---|---|---|
| Algonauts 2025 BOLD | 4 | Feature film |
| Lahner 2024 BOLD | 10 | Video + audio |
| Lebel 2023 BOLD | 8 | Natural language narration |

25 subjects. Thousands of brain measurements. The Helix model has learned what the human brain does in response to the full range of naturalistic media — faces, motion, speech, music, silence, language, narrative.
Visual
What the eyes see — motion, faces, objects, cuts, scene transitions.
Audio
What the ears hear — tone, rhythm, speech energy, music, silence.
Language
What the brain understands — meaning, context, emotional valence.
These streams are fused and passed through the Helix transformer. The output: a predicted activation level at 20,484 points on the human cortex, updated every second — the fsaverage5 surface used in neuroimaging research.
For the record
Not a medical device
Predictions represent population-level responses — an average brain, not any individual's.
Not a brain scanner
The Helix model simulates neural responses. It does not read anyone's mind.
Not guesswork
Every number is anchored to a real computed activation value. The AI explains the numbers. It cannot change them.
The trust architecture
The AI writes words. It cannot change numbers.
Helix model runs
A pure mathematical computation. No language model is involved. It outputs activation numbers for every vertex, every second.
Numbers are locked
The four agents receive these numbers as immutable facts. They cannot modify, reinterpret or ignore them.
The Verifier checks everything
Agent 3 reads every claim and checks it against the actual numbers. If a claim doesn't match, it is corrected.
Final automated scan
Before the PDF compiles, an automated pass checks every timestamp against the real data and corrects discrepancies.
Insights that are not just plausible — they are anchored to real computed values at every step.
The audience simulation
The other half is the algorithm. Korviq's simulation models the full platform distribution funnel — ghost followers, engagement gates, cold audience push, and seven rounds of social cascade — all driven by the same Helix data that powers the brain report.
Every agent receives a personalized version of your brain engagement data, with individual variation. The simulation is not a population average. It is a model of your specific video's impact on a specific simulated audience.
agents — 50 followers, 50 cold-audience — each running on your video's own activation pattern across 7 cascade rounds.
Built by Maneesh Radhakrishnan
The goal was simple: a tool grounded in real science, transparent about what it knows and what it does not, and useful enough that creators actually change how they work because of it.
The Helix model is the foundation. The trust architecture is the principle. The product is what happens when you put both in the hands of a creator before they post.
Korviq is not a medical device
Predictions represent population-level responses — an average of how 25 subjects' brains responded to similar stimuli. They are a model, not a measurement. Korviq is a content intelligence tool and is not intended for any medical, clinical, or diagnostic purpose.
