About Nudge
Nudge’s goal is to help the brain work better by creating a generalized product that can precisely stimulate and image the brain, entirely non-invasively. We aim to achieve this by developing cutting-edge ultrasound technology to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders, like addiction, and eventually, creating a mainstream consumer device that can modulate mood, focus, sleep, and more.
To realize those ambitions, we’re growing a scrappy, multidisciplinary, science and engineering team focused on making the best technology possible for interfacing with the whole brain, and a product that has the potential to improve people’s daily lives more than any other.
About the team
The Research Team at Nudge is innovating on multiple frontiers in neuroscience and neurotechnology, and is primarily focused on developing ultrasound-based neuromodulation to treat conditions like depression, chronic pain and addiction as well as enhance the wellbeing of healthy people. We’re also building the first scalable, portable hardware for noninvasive structural ultrasound-based imaging the quality of an MRI. The team is running human trials for neuromodulation and developing algorithms that will enable on-device imaging.
About the role
Develop methods for characterizing the mechanism of action of ultrasound on neural tissue
Design and execute experiments in vitro to determine the impact of ultrasound on cellular properties and activity
Explore optimization of the ultrasound parameter space for driving cellular activity and plasticity
Translate in-vitro findings to human studies of neuromodulation
