You will be responsible for continuously improving the performance, reliability, features, and automation of the BrainEx platform: tightening closed-loop control, extending run duration (currently up to 24 hours, with active work toward multi-day and ultimately two-week runs), improving reproducibility across runs, and expanding the experimental capabilities the rig can support. BrainEx is a proprietary closed-loop physiological system that functions as an artificial cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal system for an intact human brain — with custom hardware and software regulating circulatory volume, cerebral blood flow, systolic pressure, pH, dissolved gases, temperature, metabolites, and drug dosing throughout each run.
