In pursuit of true machine intelligence and accessible neural interfaces

Who we are:
A student-led research lab with a focus on building transformer-alternate world architectures to achieve true machine intelligence. Apart from our work on AI, we also work on low-cost brain-computer interfaces to make neural prosthetics and assistive technologies accessible across economic barriers.What we do:
AI/ML vertical: We're developing transformer-alternate architectures using bio-mimicry and neuro-symbolism to achieve genuine conceptual understanding beyond simple next-token prediction.BCI vertical: We're building custom EEG-based neural interfaces for cybernetic prosthetics, currently developing a brain-controlled arm for a team member with a congenital limb difference.
Current Projects
Cognita
We're developing transformer-alternate world models through bio-mimicry and neuro-symbolism, exploring mechanisms for consciousness emergence and investigating the theoretical foundations of machine understanding.
Coming Soon: Our first review paper on the current state of AI and the shortcomings of the transformer architecture. We also explore alternative architectures in this paper.
Mantis
We're developing custom EEG-based neural interfaces for cybernetic prosthetics, starting with a brain-controlled arm for a team member with a congenital limb difference. Our approach focuses on affordable hardware design and advanced signal processing.
We're also exploring neural interface applications for neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD and developing cost-effective and accessible BCI solutions for the Indian market.
