Omniscient: The Humble Aussie Start-Up Leading the World in Using A.I. to Decode the Human Brain
With over 90 billion neurons firing thousands of times every second, the human brain is the most complex thing in the known universe – it’s also the most important data set in the world. With recent advancements in computing power, cloud storage & machine learning, the brain is now understandable in a way that seemed science fiction only a few years ago.
Founded in 2019, Australia-based Omniscient is the world’s leader in using A.I. to decode the connections & functioning of the human brain, a field known as connectomics. Omniscient have built revolutionary tools for mapping the brain in ways never before possible, and their technology is revolutionising fields as diverse as neurosurgery, neurology, mental health and learning & development. In time, their technology may be key to eliminating mental illness and neurodegeneration from the planet, and to unlocking limitless human potential.
Who this is for: Relevant for any organisation or team who want a front-row seat into how A.I. is helping humankind crack previously insurmountable challenges and make quantum leaps in our ability to change the world for the better.
