Research Intern (Fall)

Research Intern

Alljoined aims to solve the communication bottleneck between humans and technology by decoding thoughts from the brain, entirely non-invasively. We apply deep learning research to large scale EEG datasets collected on affordable hardware to decode stimuli like images, and eventually emotion, intent, train of thought and more. Targeting business applications first, we will eventually create a general consumer interface for productivity, entertainment and AI applications.

We are actively growing our world-class team of researchers to build the most performant and accessible interface to greatly improve the quality of individual lives as well as the well-being of society as a whole.
