What if a child who can't move their arms could still play music? What if a foster child with a disability never had to be told "you can't"?

BioMus is an original research project created by Everett C. Leigh, founder of EverEverest, that translates brainwaves and facial movements into real-time musical expression. Designed for individuals with severe motor impairments such as ALS, spinal cord injuries, and cerebral palsy, BioMus removes the physical barriers between a person and the music inside them.

Using EEG biosensors, computer vision, and AI-driven sound mapping, BioMus turns thought and intention into melody, harmony, and rhythm — no hands required.

Foster children with disabilities are among the most overlooked populations in America. They face barriers to education, therapy, and creative expression that most of us never think about. BioMus was born from a simple belief: if music has the power to heal, then no child should be locked out of that healing because of their body.

Developed with guidance from faculty at Berklee College of Music and MIT, BioMus is set to begin pilot testing in rehabilitation centers and foster care programs in 2026.

Because every child has music inside them. BioMus helps them let it out.
