g.tec medical engineering GmbH Information

g.tec medical engineering was founded in 1999 as a spin-off from the Technical University in Graz, Austria. Christoph Guger and Günter Edlinger developed the first commercial Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system at this time. As a producer of state-of-the-art invasive and non-invasive BCI systems with sales and research partners worldwide, g.tec is a leader in the fields of BCI, medical devices, neurotechnology, neurorehabilitation and biosignal processing with branches in Schiedlberg and Graz (Austria), Barcelona (Spain), and New York (USA). g.tec’s BCI systems are realized by four major principles: slow waves, steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP), motor imagery (MI) and evoked potentials (EP). The hardware and software of g.tec’s BCI technology can be used in clinical environments or for research purposes such as the analysis of the brain, heart or muscle activity, brain assessments of severe brain injuries and disorders of consciousness, motor rehabilitation after stroke, neuromarketing, deep brain stimulation, brain mapping, neuro prosthesis, communication, painting and closed-loop invasive and non-invasive BCI experiments. g.tec’s products and research activities have been widely described in peer-reviewed research publications, demonstrating the quality of tools and methods and the unlimited possibilities and the impact of brain-computer interface technology.
