MindAffect BV develops brain computer interface devices. Its product allows locked-in patients to interact or communicate by controlling a computer with brain signals. The company was founded by Ivo de la Rive Box and Peter Desain in September 2017 and is headquartered in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

The idea behind RE-phrase originated in a playful variation on the Twister game, which would give people speaking different languages, a means to communicate. Peter Desain, Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science in Nijmegen, invented the first prototype in the nineties. In time he gathered people around him to start the company RE-phrase, as spin-off of the Radboud University Nijmegen. RE-phrase is now ready to capture market share with its simple but powerful product: dia-logging. Dia-logging breaks communication barriers between organizations and individuals. From January 2008 PPM Oost invested in RE-phrase B.V. PPM Oost fully supports the idea behind RE-phrase and has confidence in the potential of the product.
