Lev

Lev Chizhov is a neurotechnology researcher and builder focused on advancing brain imaging with ultrasound. His work spans experimental tools, computational neuroscience, and other emerging technologies, bringing together scientific research and practical projects. Through Aleph Neuro, he has worked on high-resolution brain blood-flow imaging and explored ultrasound applications that include decoding silent speech from tongue images and inducing smells through olfactory stimulation.

Chizhov’s portfolio also covers analysis of neural activity in the mouse visual cortex, including topological study of calcium recordings, as well as research into optical metamaterials and physically unclonable functions. His broader interests include fundamental physics, photonic computing, and the possible implications of neural interfaces. He shares writing on topics such as rationality, meditation, reward-centre stimulation, and brain-computer technology, alongside a gallery of neuroimaging methods.

Beyond research, his projects include Clippinator, an early coding agent, an ML-powered sticker creation bot, and hands-on experiments such as an ultrasonic fountain and a speckle-imaging demonstration. Overall, Chizhov’s work connects neuroscience, engineering, computation, and thoughtful exploration of new technologies.
