Chapter 6. Creating a Functional Window to the Brain
An interview with Hendrik D. Kjeldsen of Truust Neuroimaging
Modern neuroscience is still relying on old methods that don’t allow us to truly understand what’s happening in the brain in real time. As a result, we have a limited understanding of brain-related disease and ability to treat conditions early. Truust Neuroimaging’s technology is providing real-time data to visualize energy flow in the brain, and, as a result, predict and treat brain-related diseases before they start. I spoke with CEO Hendrik D. Kjeldsen about how he discovered this problem, the limitations of today’s technology, and how Truust can change the field. Check out his pitch from IndieBio’s Demo Day Livestream.
AK: Tell me about your background. How did you get interested in the biotech space?
HK: I met my cofounder, Lars, about 15 years ago, while working as an electrical engineer. As a result of the computational problems presented while working on the Semantic Web, I got interested in artificial intelligence and did a master’s of AI in the Netherlands. I realized current AI approaches are not able to handle such complex problems, and we need to study real intelligence to figure it out. So I went to the UK to do a PhD in experimental neuroscience, where I faced a new problem: current tools are only able to see very little of what is going on in the brain. This not only makes it very difficult to understand the brain, but also makes it ...
