Prof. J.J. Hamilton, President and Chief Scientist

Jeffrey Joe Hamilton has gained an international reputation for his consulting work and his groundbreaking research in neurosurgery. He brings unsurpassed expertise to the Braintec Research team, having provided expertise with his former Transcranial Stimulator project. More recently he has led research to develop the Braintec Implants for extracting memories, as well as designing a record-breaking storage system. Jeffrey holds a B.S. degree from Stanford University.

Prof. K. Tachikawa, Vice President

Kodjiro Tachikawa is responsible for the development and improvement of the medical devices. He has developed and evaluated numerous systems for the extraction and storage of MEMES. The MSI and MESI-implants are his inventions. Professor Tachikawa moved from Tokyo to Portland to become cofounder of Braintec. He has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2002, for his development of the Braintec Implants.

Mark Steward, Business Development & Licensing

Mark Steward is responsible for creating and directing licensing programs at the Braintec Institute. A veteran of the technology and life sciences industries, his experiences include business development, operations, finance and strategy consulting. He is also assistant and anesthetist during operations. Prior to joining Braintec Mark was Vice President of Operations at Acumen Sciences. Mark holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Bio-medical Engineering from Stanford University, where he is an NSF Graduate Fellow and a Mayfield Entrepreneurship Fellow.

Adrian Young, Teacher in Physiology

Adrian Young discovered that gradients in the magnetic field of our brain scans can create two-dimensional images of MEMES that could not be visualized by other techniques. He discovered how the detected signals rapidly and effectively could be analyzed and transformed to an image. This was an essential step in order to make the memories visible. Adrian is one of the few scientists with a MESI-implant.

Jessica Wright, Test-psychologist

Jessica was part of the Braintec team since the beginning. She examines and reviews all the test subjects before and after each session. Jessica worked some years in the psychiatric clinic of San Francisco before she came to Braintec.

Sheila Anderson, Test-psychologist

Prior to Braintec Research, Sheila worked at IDEO Product Development on Secure Content Distribution Systems. She has also held positions at Brain & Company, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Institute for Defense Analysis.

Van Klaveren is one of the first people with an MESI-implant and therefore a prime test subject. She was so closely involved with the project that she became a member of the team itself, working as an assistant and approaching new test subjects.
