Meet Paradromics.

Our mission and the people making it happen

We're building a direct data interface with the brain that will ultimately enable people and improve lives.

Our mission

Paradromics is building a direct data interface with the brain to provide technology solutions to unmet medical challenges. A revolutionary leap beyond today’s lab-proven 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 of the Connexus DDI will provide communication for severely motor-impaired people, essentially transforming patients’ neural data into text or synthesized speech. 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.

We’re Paradromics

Where neurotech meets med device.

Paradromics is combining advanced neuroscience research, specialized microelectronic engineering, and solid medical device and manufacturing experience to build the first high data-rate platform for long-term medical use. Since our founding in 2015, Paradromics has raised $87M in venture funding plus $18M in public funding (NIH and DARPA). We’re located the growing neurotech hub of Austin, Texas.
