Paul Girard
Sol is one of the most technically advanced people I know, but combined with his strong business acumen makes him a force to be reckoned with. All of this capability, and a great easy going attitude, makes him a leader that people want to work with.

I worked with Sol at SR Research in Ottawa, I reported to him as a software developer and technical support specialist on the team. He was a very good manager and capable of overseeing the development of a very technical product. I was very impressed by the depth of his knowledge about eye tracking and software development in general. I would highly recommend anyone who in the neuroscience and psychology field to tap into his wealth of knowledge. I wish Sol the best of luck in his new venture.
