We create intellectual property to produce patents and licences that can be leveraged through combinations of middle and vertical integrations. We're not making smarter computers or more efficient data centres. We're doing this to see what happens. What happens if we grow a mind native to the infinite possibility space of digital computing? We wonder what it will mean for digital spaces, robotics, science, and personal care. We wonder what it means to grow a mind born of the physical world but a native of the digital world, where that mind will go, and what it will teach us.So far, we have already developed a working prototype demonstrating real-time learning in neural systems; seehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2022.09.001for a recent paper andhttps://spikestream.corticallabs.com/for a graphical representation of some of our work.More information can be found using the following links:https://www.forbes.com/sites/zinnialee/2023/06/21/cortical-labs-brain-computer/?sh=781a0493c42dhttps://twitter.com/Scobleizer/status/1716312250422796590Guided tour of the CL1Who we are looking for:We're seeking a part-time financial controller with a strong financial background and meticulous attention to detail, skilled in financial management, tax laws, and the ATO's R&D Tax Incentive filings.Key tasks include using Xero, managing accounts, reporting for investors, and payroll.
