It all began with a curiosity about the origins of "life" and "the self" that I held since childhood: questions about where we come from, where we are going, and who we really are. Those questions led me to specialize in neurophysiology, where I studied brain function. Humans have a rhythm of sleep and wakefulness governed by the central clock in the brain. When this rhythm is disrupted, it is known to affect a wide range of physiological functions. From there came the idea that we could quantitatively measure biological rhythms and use them to enhance individual health, and that idea ultimately led to the development of XHRO. Today, building on that idea, we are working toward the future evolution of life science and the social implementation of these new technologies.
