g.tec medical engineering

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.

Co-founded g.tec medical engineering in 1999 with Christoph Guger as a spin-off of the Technical University in Graz, Austria. Together with Guger he developed the first commercial BCI system with 100% accuracy using a motor-imagery paradigm with Common Spatial Patterns, and presented one of the first portable BCI systems at the 1999 BCI Meeting. He has served as co-CEO of g.tec since founding. Limited additional public biographical detail beyond his co-founding role and ongoing operational leadership at the company is publicly available.
