Neural Implant podcast - the people behind Brain-Machine Interface revolutions

This podcast"s purpose is to bring together the field of neuroprosthetics / brain machine interfaces / brain implants in an understandable conversation about the current topics and breakthroughs. We hope to complement scientific papers on new neural research in an easy, digestable way. Innovators and professionals can share thoughts or ideas to facilitate "idea sex" to make the field of brain implants a smaller and more personal space.
