Open Research Partnerships

Advancing Human Memory
Through Science & Collaboration

We partner with researchers worldwide in cognitive science, AI, and neuroscience to build memory augmentation systems that enhance human potential while prioritizing mental health, privacy, and well-being.

Our Research Areas

We work at the intersection of multiple disciplines to understand and augment human memory in meaningful, responsible ways.

Cognitive Science

Understanding how human memory works—encoding, consolidation, retrieval—and applying those insights to build better digital memory systems.

Spacing effect & retrieval practice
Working memory capacity
Autobiographical memory organization

AI & Machine Learning

Leveraging transformer models, RAG architectures, and embedding spaces to create context-aware memory assistants that enhance rather than replace human cognition.

Vector similarity & semantic search
Personalized language models
Few-shot learning from user data

Neuroscience

Drawing from neural mechanisms of memory formation, synaptic plasticity, and pattern completion to inform our augmentation strategies.

Hippocampal indexing theory
Reconsolidation & memory editing
Neural networks as memory models

Mental Health & Well-being

Ensuring memory augmentation supports mental wellness, reduces cognitive load, and respects emotional context—never exploiting vulnerability.

Cognitive offloading & stress reduction
Trauma-informed design
Privacy & psychological safety

Our Research Principles

Guiding values that shape how we approach memory augmentation research.

1

Open Science

We publish findings, share anonymized datasets (with consent), and contribute to the broader research community.

2

Privacy First

All research follows strict ethical guidelines—no data shared without explicit consent, and privacy-preserving methods are default.

3

Mental Health Centered

Memory augmentation must reduce stress, support well-being, and never manipulate or harm users' psychological state.

4

Interdisciplinary

We bridge cognitive science, AI, neuroscience, and clinical practice to build holistic solutions grounded in human understanding.
