Patient registry

The frontier is open source.

The mission

Explore consciousness. Restore independence.

What you’ll work on

The hardest problems in neurotechnology, solved in the open.

  1. 01 — Signals

    Read the brain without surgery.

    A soft cap of electrodes picks up the brain’s electrical activity through skin and bone. You’ll build the amplifiers and firmware that keep the noise down.

    Signal: millionths of a volt

  2. 02 — Machine learning

    Decode intent from the noise.

    Decoders that work for a new person on day one and improve with every session, scored on public benchmarks before anyone relies on them.

    Benchmarks: open datasets, scored in public

  3. 03 — Interfaces

    Turn a thought into a click.

    Cursor control, spelling and synthetic speech on the computers and phones people already own.

    Target: the devices people already have

The culture

Do the best work of your career.

  • The problem

    Brain signals, machine learning, hardware and design at once, for people who are waiting.

  • The people

    You’d be one of the first people here, building the team with us.

  • The ownership

    Own whole pieces of the work, and publish them under your own name.

  • The pace

    Decisions in hours, not quarters. Prototype early and test it properly.

  • The foundations

    Years of open science to stand on: BrainFlow, MNE-Python, MOABB and the people behind them.

Some work fills a day.
This could give someone their voice back.

Our values

How we operate

  • Patients first

    Every decision traces back to the people who will use this, and what they tell us they need.

  • Open by default

    Code, designs and results are published, so anyone can check them and build on them.

  • Evidence over hype

    We only claim what we’ve shown. No device, trial or result until there is one.

  • Careful where it counts

    Fast where we can be, and slow and thorough wherever the work touches people.

  • Kind and direct

    Honest feedback, hard problems, decent people.

Jesus gave sight to the blind and a voice to those who’d lost theirs. With empathy, open science and hard work, we can build the tools to do the same, and give them to everyone.
