Cortical is developing next generation AI solutions around a new class of unsupervised, one-shot learning algorithms.
We are rethinking machine learning hardest problems, applying System Biology and Computational Neuroscience to go beyond existing Deep Learning core technologies.

Company

Brain Backups, a developmental stage startup, is pursuing one of the biggest scientific and technological discoveries of our time: a map of every connection in the human brain. The connectome, sometimes called the genome of the brain, is the next frontier in neuroscience. With cutting edge micron scale contrast agents, Brain Backups is poised to revolutionize neuroimaging.

The scientists at Brain Backups are developing new neuronal imaging methods using synthetic biology, MRI, and smart contrast agents based on aptamer technology. These methods are nondestructive, noninvasive, and provide ultra high definition scans. This technology will launch neurological research and diagnostics into the future.
With myriad brain functions and dysfunctions better understood, scientists will be able to offer personalized connectome mapping and true personalized medicine.

Initiative

The Brain Forum brings together world leaders in science, technology, healthcare and business to advance our understanding of how the brain works and to accelerate the application of that understanding to human needs.

NeuroMorpho.Org is a centrally curated inventory of digitally reconstructed neurons associated with peer-reviewed publications. It contains contributions from over 500 laboratories worldwide and is continuously updated as new morphological reconstructions are collected, published, and shared. To date, NeuroMorpho.Org is the largest collection of publicly accessible 3D neuronal reconstructions and associated metadata.

The goal of NeuroMorpho.Org is to provide dense coverage of available reconstruction data for the neuroscience community. Data sharing through NeuroMorpho.Org enables the full and continuing research potential of existing digital reconstruction data.

Initiative

The Human Connectome Project (HCP) is a five-year project sponsored by sixteen components of the National Institutes of Health, split between two consortia of research institutions. The project was launched in July 2009 as the first of three Grand Challenges of the NIH's Blueprint for Neuroscience Research.
