Diana Deca

CEO

Diana Deca is the CEO of Neurobotx. Her passion lies in the intersection of neuroscience, robotics, virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI). She has a PhD in this field from the Max Planck Institute and has spent over 15 years combining these disciplines, resulting in more than a dozen scientific publications. Growing up with the Jetsons, Isaac Asimov, and Kraftwerk, she has a vision of a future where there are flying autonomous cars, colonies on Mars, brain implants, space-time travel, and great synthwave. She believes that this future is within our reach, and she is working to make it a reality through Neurobotx. During her PhD, she used two-photon microscopy combined with patch clamp recordings in the brains of mice while they were experiencing a VR arena. The aim of her research was to convince the brain that the VR was real and to see how the brain maps that digital space. She applied this method in some of the world's top-level labs and institutions, working under the direct supervision of her Nobel laureate mentors. She has also been instrumental in coining the terms "Artificial General Intelligence" (AGI) and "Whole Brain Emulation" (WBE). With all these insights and experiences, she is now the CEO and founder of Neurobotx, which is funded by Boeing. They are pioneers in spatial computing through their massively scalable metaverse platform for air taxis and autonomous vehicles.
