Our neural network
A small group of scientists, engineers, and clinicians building for the most complex technology you already own: your brain.
What we believe
Brain health deserves the kind of serious attention that heart health has received for the last fifty years. The brain is the most complex organ in the body, and the least well understood. The gap between what we know about it and what we ought to know is large and getting larger.
We are building toward a future where understanding your own brain — its strengths, its trajectory, the small ways it changes over a lifetime — is as routine as a blood test. That future is closer than most people realise. The tools have arrived. The work is in making them useful.
Neureka exists at the intersection of three things we think matter: careful neuroscience, software that gets out of the way, and a point of view that takes the brain seriously without pretending it is solved.
Where we work
Accra
Our base in West Africa. Where some of the most under-studied neurological questions sit closest to the people who could answer them.
Paris
Our research home in Europe. Long history of careful neuroscience, and a research network that we lean on and add to.
The network
Raphael B. Takyi
Physician and neuroscientist. Trained at INSERM Paris, with research on post-stroke brain ageing. Splits his time between Accra and Paris.
If you are a neuroscientist, clinician, or engineer working on something you think belongs near this — particularly if you are based in Africa, Europe, or somewhere we have not thought to look yet — we would like to know.
Work with us
We are not actively recruiting. We are also not closed. Two things are usually true at once.
If something here resonates, write a short note about what you are working on and why you think it sits near our orbit. We read carefully and reply.
