About the Company

Synaptrix is on a mission to revolutionize brain-computer interfaces through non-invasive approaches. We believe that the power to diagnose and treat neurological conditions safely, and to expand human potential, will become a reality with the right fusion of deep learning, signal processing, and computational neuroscience.
