We’re on a mission to model the dynamics of the human brain
At Karavela, we are building a foundation model of the brain using next-gen magnetic resonance imaging. Our goal is to collect the largest dataset of the human brain’s dynamics to enhance clinical trials with AI and crack brain decoding.
Our pursuit
First and foremost, our mission is to collected much needed data on the human brain. We are working hard to collect - and, in part, share - the dataset that is missing to advance most clinical trials in psychiatry and neurology: large high-quality brain activity data during naturalistic tasks in healthy participants.
Using this data, we will build models that better understand what is common and different across individuals, ultimately leading to more personalized and effective treatments.
