Research outcomes

  • 5-10×

    Faster pipelines. At brain.space, typed datasets and distributed compute turn days of EEG processing into hours.

  • days → minutes

    Faster debugging. Resume from checkpoints and trace every transformation, without restarting the whole pipeline.

  • 300 CPUs

    From one notebook. Run familiar Python across your cloud infrastructure, without an extra framework.

  • SOC2 + BYOC

    In your cloud. Keep subject data in your storage and compute in your VPC, under your existing access controls.

How it works

  1. Connect your storage

    Point at S3, GCS, Azure, Nebius, or on-prem. Files stay where they are; DataChain reads schemas, lineage, and processing history.

  2. Run pipelines

    From a notebook, a script, or an AI agent. Dispatch to 1 to 1000+ machines in your VPC when scale demands it.

  3. Reuse and compound

    Every pipeline saves a typed dataset to the team's registry. The next session reads what exists instead of re-deriving from raw bytes.

From Raw Data to Shared Results

Collaboration

Data work that compounds

Every pipeline adds a named, versioned, lineage-traced dataset to your shared layer. Researchers, data engineers, hardware, QA, and external partners can all build on the same work.

  • Browse the central registry by name, version, schema, and author.
  • Answer “how was this produced?” without pinging the original researcher.
  • Share a dataset reference, not another CSV export.
  • Keep bytes in storage, with access governed by your existing IAM.

Visualization

See your data in storage

Inspect DICOM, NIfTI, and EEG traces inline in Studio. Each file links to its dataset version, schema, and source code: scans and code together, with zero exports and one source of truth.

  • Explore biomedical files directly in the UI.
  • Validate preprocessing and feature extraction assumptions early.
  • Compare scan or signal versions side by side in the central registry.

Distributed compute

Compute the whole team can use

Give notebooks, scripts, and agents access to cloud infrastructure. Dispatch jobs across hundreds of machines in your VPC, using familiar workflows and on-demand compute.

  • Scale CPU, GPU, and high-memory pools from 1 to 1000+ machines via the SDK.
  • Run 300 CPUs or 10 T4 GPUs on GCP, or 4 A100 GPUs on Nebius.
  • Workers start on demand and shut down when idle.
  • BYOC keeps compute in your account, behind your VPC and existing IAM.

AI agents

Where Claude Code actually works on data

Make Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex productive on data. Beyond raw files, DataChain gives them a typed catalog, lineage, and clusters to turn each pipeline into reusable team results.

  • Save agent-run pipelines to the registry with code, parameters, inputs, and author.
  • Generate typed datasets across clusters; dispatch data jobs to 30 machines.
  • Reduce cost of failure by 2.7×, or 9× for image work.
  • Run follow-up tasks 8.4× faster and 3.4× cheaper.

What our customers say

We realized we were solving a problem we shouldn't be solving. With DataChain, what used to require data engineers is now handled seamlessly by researchers - and the whole team moved to the next level.

Production-grade compliance

Subject data never leaves your cloud account. Trace every transformation, preserve every version, and stay audit-ready by default.

  • Your cloud. Your controls.

    SOC2-certified. Compute and storage stay in your AWS, GCP, or Azure account, under your IAM.

  • Trace every transformation.

    Follow every signal-to-feature transformation. Dataset versions stay immutable, with lineage attached.

  • Keep the audit trail.

    Trace subject withdrawal across derived datasets. Propagate IRB amendments as new dataset versions.

brain.space · Customer story

From waiting on data to moving research forward.

brain.space turns EEG, neuroimaging, ECG, EDA, and eye-tracking signals into reusable datasets for Large Mental Models. Before DataChain, five researchers waited 1–2 days to debug pipelines and depended on a data engineer to run distributed compute.

  • All five researchers run pipelines themselves

    The data-engineering bottleneck is gone. Researchers work directly with their datasets and compute.

  • Debugging drops from days to minutes

    Checkpoint recovery and immutable lineage replace the 1–2 day wait to trace and rerun a pipeline.

  • 5–10× faster overall processing

    High-frequency EEG processing moves from days to hours, with typed datasets and distributed compute.

  • Their cloud. Their compliance.

    Compute runs across brain.space’s own AWS and Nebius GPU infrastructure. DataChain orchestrates without touching the bytes.
