Nexus I
Our Mission
We are a crew of neurotechnologists seeking to forge the path for next-generation neural interfaces that elevate the quality of human life. By bringing together researchers from neuroscience, engineering, and medicine, we aim to launch a diversity of creative ideas and implementations that shape the imminent evolution in the repair and advancement of the brain.
The Crew
Greta Tuckute
Graduate student at the Biomechatronics Group, MIT Media Lab. Passionate about signal processing, algorithms and temporal dynamics of cognition.
Tyler Chen
Knight-Hennessy Scholar and bioengineering graduate student at Stanford. Building neural and mechanical biointerfaces for human-centered applications.
Kenneth Brinson
Knight-Hennessy Scholar and MD/PhD student at Stanford. Passionate about novel approaches to neural interfaces and biosensing technology.
Our Goals
We inspire one another, question our assumptions, and most importantly, establish a foundation for intentional collaboration to link disciplines and people across the globe.
Nexus 1 serves as a collider for neurotechnology projects and approaches that seek to achieve the following goals:
- Gain a greater understanding of the brain and the physical and informational architecture necessary to meaningfully interact with this complex system.
- Create robust devices and techniques inspired by first principles that can elevate the human condition and result in technologies to improve and embolden the future we can shape for ourselves.
We focus on crafting projects that are integrated by design - synthesizing expertise in hardware and AI to solve human problems with neural interfaces. Our team of individual thinkers, builders, and scientists will develop cross-disciplinary tools to ensure that this key point in human technological advancement is built with intentionality atop a solid technical and ethical foundation.
