— Tej Tadi , Founder and CEO , MindMaze

who successfully completed the marathon he had been training for before suffering a stroke .

Such successes have left Tadi to ponder future applications . “ What we ’ d love is for them to come back to more than what they were originally capable of . Can we bring someone back to 100 %? It ’ s still to be seen . They ’ re obviously much better off than where they would be without MindMaze , but what we ’ d love to see is an enhancement of their skill set .” The ambition of harnessing the brain ’ s potential lies behind the firm ’ s long gestating CogniChip , which seeks to apply lessons learnt from

the brain to better coordinate input from sensors . “ The brain ’ s everyday integration of multiple senses is something that we want to replicate . That ’ s the cognitive platform . It ’ s going to be able to get data from cameras , from inertial sensors , from brain sensors , and the CogniChip will do the work that your brain does for you to put it together . There are applications in transport , aviation , automotive , gaming , communications , pretty much everything that we do .”

As MindMaze goes into the future , Tadi sees continuing expansion in the medical arena , but also harbours the broader ambitions inherent to the CogniChip . “ One aim is to consolidate the digital therapy vision for healthcare . The other axis is heading towards partnership with multiple industries . We ’ ve already been involved in the motor sport business , in racing and safety , the gaming industry and virtual reality . We ’ re looking both ways .”
