Synaptrix Labs Inc. is an American neurotechnology company and medical research organization focused on developing accessible and affordable assistive technologies for individuals with severe disabilities, particularly those with paralysis, ALS, and locked-in syndrome.[1]
The company is based in New York City.
Overview
Synaptrix Labs' primary focus revolves around the development of Electroencephalography (EEG)-based hands-free wheelchair control systems, utilizing non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) technology.[2] Their flagship system, Neuralis, interprets EEG signals from the visual cortex to detect eye movements, subsequently translating them into wheelchair commands using AI. The company aims to introduce more cost-effective alternatives to the existing range of wheelchairs and assistive devices using novel AI models. Synaptrix begins their first clinical study in late 2024[3]
Synaptrix Labs was established in 2023 by Aryan Govil[4][5], an undergraduate student at New York University.
Awards
Synaptrix Labs received the 2024 Big Ideas award from Berkeley University.[6]
