MindMaze is the world’s leading neurotechnology start-up pioneering a breakthrough computing platform that captures brain activity upon intent, creating a new operating system for computers (a Mind-OS) and a new generation of brain computer interface products, using virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Based on years of rigorous testing in the healthcare industry, the company has designed intuitive mind/machine interfaces, which utilize real-time decoding of brain signals and is able to track fine movements and gestures. Its innovations are poised to transform industries, starting with healthcare and gaming.  Its first-generation products (MINDMOTION™ Pro and MINDMOTION™ Go) are aimed at rehabilitation following neurological incidents.

To strengthen its creative department, MindMaze is searching for a highly skilled 3D digital artist with the ability to demonstrate how real-time lighting, shadows, and colours create environmental tones and moods that can help bring MindMaze’s visual content to the next level while respecting the constrains of the medical domain.
