About Starlab DeepTech company
Starlab is a private DeepTech company funded in 2000 whose main area of work lie in the Applied Neuroscience and Neurotechnology sectors. A team of physicists, mathematicians, environmentalists and engineers backed up by a business team aiming to translate science into breakthrough technologies with a profound and positive impact on society. Pioneering deep technologies will be applied to improve people's quality of life. We will make it happen!
In 2014 Starlab created Neuroelectrics® a digital brain health company that innovates at the intersection of neuroscience, physics, machine learning and hardware.
How we do it
We are a group of neuroscientists, engineers, computer scientists, and cognitive psychologists with extensive experience in protocol definition and implementation, signal processing, machine learning, and statistics. We have in-house medical degree FDA-cleared devices to record information from the brain and have implemented our own pipelines to analyse the brain data and extract meaningful information.
Phase 1. We define the requirements, prepare the protocols and devices and carry out the experiments to acquire the data.
Phase 3. We transform brain data into actionable information through customized reports with statistics and meaningful visualizations.
Phase 2. We analyse the brain data offline or in real-time with our pipelines to extract meaningful information.
Background experience
Starlab Neuroscience
Starlab Neuroscience provides highest value consulting services for data analysis and neurotechnology to our clients in the public and private sector. We make use of public funding as seed capital for developing our riskiest research ideas and concepts, and fostering innovation in neurotechnology with a deep commitment to technology transfer into the market. The Starlab Neuroscience BU capability is based on a unique combination of expertise in different stages of the data analysis pipeline from the signal acquisition through signal processing to the final application of advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques.
Managerial tasks
Starlab has proven experience participating (+100) & leading (+20) projects in the frame of EU, ESA, NASA, Private Foundations, and National funded programs.
Market development
Starlab counts on a wide experience in client service and market development in Health, Neurotechnology, Diagnostics, User Experience, Smart Cities Real State, Construction, and Agriculture.
Neurotechnology
-
Starlab developed a new generation of more powerful and controllable non-invasive brain stimulation technologies. Starlab’s medical device for transcranial current stimulator (tCS) StarStim was prototyped within a public funded R&D project. Technology transfer was successfully completed by creating the spin-off Neuroelectrics.
