A Unique Ecosystem for
Curiosity
About
From research and development to clinical trials and implementation, the Centre for Restorative Neurotechnology (CRN) is an ecosystem of inter-disciplinary programmes working together to understand, manage, treat and prevent chronic neurological and psychiatric disorders. The goal is curiosity-driven scientific discovery, invention of novel therapeutic and assistive neurotechnologies, and combination of new technologies with AI-inflected immersive behavioral training protocols. The CRN is comprised of three components.
