AI Research Scientist, Neuromotor Interfaces, ML & Signal Proc
Burlingame, CA | New York City
We are a multi-disciplinary team of researchers investigating the nature of human neuromotor signals (i.e., electromyography or EMG), developing novel signal processing and machine learning methods to infer a user’s intent, and creating novel interaction techniques and user experiences. Help us unleash human potential by removing the bottlenecks between user intent and action.
EMG signals are similar in many ways to other neural signals and audio signals and can be analyzed using many of the same approaches. For example, the task of transcribing characters typed on a keyboard from wrist-based EMG is closely analogous to that of automatic speech recognition. We’re looking for people who want to shape the future of this technology and explore this exciting new territory with us.AI Research Scientist, Neuromotor Interfaces, ML & Signal Proc Responsibilities
