Research Intern; Fall

Position: Research Intern (Fall)
About Alljoined

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.

About the Role

As a Research Intern, you will contribute to building the computational infrastructure that powers our breakthrough brain-computer interface research. You'll work at the intersection of neuroscience and machine learning, developing and optimizing pipelines that process massive EEG datasets and implementing cutting-edge deep learning experiments.

This role offers hands-on experience with state-of-the-art neural decoding technology while working alongside world-class researchers pushing the boundaries of what's possible in brain-computer interfaces.
