Omniscient Neurotechnology Pty. Ltd. (o8t)
We build digital brain maps. Imagine trying to navigate the world without a map. You might struggle to find the right way, take a few wrong turns, bump into something unexpected, or remain lost forever. You might get to your destination, but it won’t be without a hitch. Clinicians and researchers face a similar challenge when it comes to the understanding of brain connectivity. Here at Omniscient, we shed light on the existence of brain networks and take a deep dive into how they interact with one another and impact our day-to-day life. Our mission is to improve the lives of billions through brain network data, also known as connectomics, because every brain has the potential to be better. We help inform smarter decisions about the brain by making sense of complex neural data.

About Us
Our purpose is to find the root cause of brain health problems that have, until now, been a mystery. Once problems are understood, they become treatable and more importantly, preventable.

The first `brain network`
In the 19th century, French neurosurgeon, Paul Broca, and German neurologist, Carl Wernicke, identified specific areas in the brain responsible for language that after sustaining injury would result in severe language problems. In Broca’s area, injury altered the capacity for speech production, while in Wernicke’s area, damage impacted the ability to comprehend language.
Since both Broca and Wernickes’ areas are critical for language processing, yet are found in different parts of the temporal lobe, they contributed to a critical shift in the understanding of neurobiology. The two separate areas are part of an interconnected network that operates as a whole to perform common tasks - much like electrical devices are wired together. Connecting them beneath the surface of the brain was the arcuate fasciculus, a bundle of white matter tracts, the wires, that when damaged also caused language impairment.
