Sensie — The Alignment Signal

Q: What does Sensie actually measure?

An involuntary motion biomarker — micro-dynamics of a brief gesture that a person cannot consciously control. Scored server-side against a per-user calibrated baseline. It generalizes across every domain where knowing whether the human is truly aligned with the judgment in front of them matters.

Q: How is this different from attention checks or liveness?

Attention checks and liveness inspect the output — the label, the click, the face. Sensie inspects the human producing it, upstream of the label, with a signal that cannot be faked by going through the motions.

Q: Is it a wearable?

No. No wearable, no camera, no extra hardware. The signal comes from the phone already in the user's hand.

Q: Who is Sensie for?

AI labs running RLHF and human-preference data pipelines, healthcare and wellbeing programs that need an objective read of nervous-system state, and consumer products where a decision is on the line.

Q: What does a pilot look like?

A fixed-scope, pre-registered engagement on Sensie's managed, pre-screened panel. Zero integration on the partner side. We respond within one business day.

Q: What evidence backs the signal?

9 PhD-led research trials, 18,000+ sessions, 83.6% accuracy on calibrated users (post-calibration), and 2 granted US patents plus 1 filing. Endorsed by Felix Schoeller (MIT Media Labs) and Dr. Joshua Vogelstein (JHU Biomedical AI Lab).

Q: What data leaves our infrastructure?

Pilots run on Sensie's managed panel — partners receive aggregate, pre-registered outcomes rather than raw participant data. Specifics are defined in the pilot's pre-registration.

Sensie — Sense alignment, before you act on it.

Sensie measures the alignment signal — an involuntary motion biomarker captured by the smartphone already in a person's hand. It reads whether a human is actually aligned with the judgment in front of them, upstream of the label, click, or decision. No wearable. No camera. Scored server-side against a per-user calibrated baseline.

One signal. Three surfaces.

AI & RLHF — rater state for human-preference pipelines

For AI labs running RLHF and preference data: a label-reliability and rater-state telemetry layer that detects when a human labeler is misaligned with the judgment they're being paid to produce. Inspects the human, not the label. Read more.

Healthcare & wellbeing — objective nervous-system state for programs

For providers, researchers, and wellbeing programs: an objective, no-hardware read of nervous-system state at the moment of care. Pilots are fixed-scope, pre-registered, and run on Sensie's managed panel. Healthcare overview · Wellbeing overview.

Consumer — decision-grade alignment

For consumer products where a single decision is on the line. Same primitive, embedded in the consumer surface. External: somabets.com.

Why it's different

Attention checks and liveness probes inspect the output — the label, the click, the face. They can be defeated by going through the motions. Sensie inspects the human producing the output, with a signal that is involuntary and cannot be faked. No wearable, no camera, no extra hardware for the participant; zero integration for the partner.

Endorsements

"Sensie is potentially the biggest breakthrough in human psychology since Sigmund Freud."
Felix Schoeller, Researcher, MIT Media Labs

"Having spent nearly 20 years doing academic and medical research on brains and behavior, I believe that the Sensie team and technology will empower each of us to be responsible for our own mental wellness."
Dr. Joshua Vogelstein, Director, JHU Biomedical AI Lab
