Christoph Guger
Electrical engineer who earned his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from TU Graz, Austria, after initial studies at Johns Hopkins University where he first encountered BCI research. As a Ph.D. student at TU Graz he built one of the first real-time BCI systems — analysing EEG motor-imagery patterns to move a cursor — and presented a portable BCI system at the 1999 BCI Meeting in Rensselaerville, New York. In 1999, immediately after completing his doctorate, he co-founded g.tec medical engineering with Günter Edlinger as a TU Graz spin-off. He leads sales and distribution across the USA, Canada, and APAC, and directs the company's programs in neurorehabilitation, neuromarketing, and brain mapping.
