Senior Linux Administrator

Senior Linux Administrator About Paradromics Brain-related illness is one of the last great frontiers in medicine, not because the brain is unknowable, but because it has been inaccessible.

Paradromics is building a brain-computer interface (BCI) platform that records brain activity at the highest possible resolution :

• the individual neuron.
• AI algorithms then decode this massive amount of brain-data, enabling the seamless translation of thought into treatments.
• Our first clinical application, the Connexus® BCI, will help people who are unable to speak, due to ALS, spinal cord injuries and stroke, to communicate independently through digital devices.
• However, the capabilities of our BCI platform go far beyond our first application.
• With the brain in direct communication with digital devices, we can leverage technology to transform how we treat conditions ranging from sensory and motor deficits to untreatable mental illness.
