EEG Signal Processing as a Predictor of Anti-Depressant Response

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a serious mental condition that often completely debilitates a client. MDD is typically treated with one of several currently available antidepressant medications. However, the response rate to any of these medications is only about 30%. Unfortunately, there are currently no means for a priori assessment of whether a specific person […]

Automatic Code Partitioning for XPU Acceleration

  Based on 7 years of R&D, Secodix has developed a processor, the XPU, that is faster by two orders of magnitudes compared to existing processors. To leverage the technology, we need to provide software programmers the ability to use existing programming languages (in particular, C++) while benefiting from XPU performance. To enable that, we […]
