Nara Logics Highlights Scientific Core With Leadership and Board Appointments

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/05/15 -- Nara Logics, a neuroscience-based artificial intelligence (AI) company, today announced that Jana Eggers, president, has been appointed CEO of the company. Founder Tom Copeman, formerly the CEO, will remain active in the company on Nara's board of directors. In addition, Dr. Sebastian Seung, one of computational neuroscience's leading minds and a professor at Princeton University, will join the company's advisory board. Nara Logics' platform is used by enterprises around the world to better analyze data, making connections much like the human brain does, to serve up smarter business recommendations.

Sebastian Seung, Ph.D., will join Dr. Mriganka Sur, the Newton Professor of Neuroscience and Director of the Simons Center for the Social Brain at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and Dr. Emily Hueske, a research scientist studying decision making at MIT and The Center for Brain and Science at Harvard, on Nara's advisory board. With his fellow advisory board members, Dr. Seung will provide valuable insights for further refining Nara's neural networks and how connections should be made in a large-scale computational system. Prior to joining Princeton as professor, he served at MIT as a professor of Computational Neuroscience in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences. He is the author of Connectome: How the Brain's Wiring Makes Us Who We Are [related TED talk], and leads EyeWire, which uses social computing and citizen science to map and understand the brain's connections.

With Eggers at the helm as CEO and Dr. Seung's new role on the advisory board, Nara Logics is well-positioned to continue developing its AI platform and extending brain-based AI into enterprises around the world. Learn more about Nara at www.naralogics.com.

Nara's Take on the News:

• "We spend so much time searching for information, taking us away from what really matters in life. I founded Nara Logics with the vision to help people get back to what they love, by using machine 'brainpower' to arrive at answers quickly and easily. Now is the time for us to apply what we've built to solve the problems faced by today's enterprises. Since day one as president, Jana, with her combined experience as a research scientist and a technology executive, has demonstrated that she's the obvious choice to lead the company in this next phase." - Tom Copeman, Founder and former CEO of Nara Logics
• "Tom's vision to re-index the Web for personalization has brought together an impressive, diverse group of people who are proving that artificial intelligence isn't futuristic science fiction -- it can solve real problems, right now. As we apply this technology across industries and to data beyond the Web, my objective is simple: use advancements in neuroscience and AI to provide a better solution for today's big data problems." - Jana Eggers, CEO of Nara Logics
• "My work has been dedicated to the junction where brains meet computers, to clarify core operations of intelligence. I was honored to work with people like Sebastian, Mriganka and Emily at MIT to understand the mechanisms of brain networks. Having Sebastian now join Nara's advisory board is a boost not only to our scientific understanding, but also to helping our platform solve some of the biggest challenges companies face today." - Dr. Nathan Wilson, Co-Founder and CTO of Nara Logics
