Information

Neurotechnology offers a future where we can engineer the biology at the core of humanness: the mind. What would it mean for us to be able to “pop open the hood” of the mind and leverage powerful technologies to address our most challenging neurological conditions? From treating sensory and motor deficits to age-related cognitive decline and beyond, how can we expect neurotech to affect medicine and society at large? What will it mean to dissolve the barriers that have up until now separated us from our technology creations? And, how should we prepare for the impending neurotech revolution?


ParadromicsThe brain is a data organ; it needs a data interface. At Paradromics, we’re enabling a future where direct data interfaces with the brain unlock technology solutions to unmet medical challenges. A revolutionary leap beyond today’s lab-confined brain-computer interfaces (BCI), our Connexus® Direct Data Interface (DDI) collects an unprecedented number of individual neural signals with a fully-implantable device designed for long-term daily service. Our first clinical application is an assistive communication device for patients who’ve lost the physical ability to speak or type. The Connexus DDI platform—and the vast brain data it accesses–has boundless potential for future applications, from enabling people with sensory and motor impairment to treating neuropsychiatric disorders. Paradromics, Inc. is an Austin-based medical technology company. Founded in 2015, we have raised $38M in venture funding and received $18M in non-dilutive public funding.
