Through the company he co-founded, Synchron, Nick Opie is close to helping millions of people living with paralysis do things they never dreamed of doing.

Synchron may have been created in Melbourne, but it’s a big deal in Silicon Valley and it’s backed by some of the world's richest and most powerful men - Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.  

But Nick Opie is not your average professor. He’s something of a genius. An inventor with an altruistic vision.

The possibilities of BCI (Brain Computer Interface) are infinite and exciting 
Breaking rules is part of the creative process
