I had the privilege of speaking with James Douma- a self-described deep learning dork. James’ experience and technical understanding are not easily found. I think you’ll find his words to be intriguing and insightful. This is one of several conversations James and I plan to have.

We discuss:  1. Elon’s motivations for starting Neuralink

2. How Neuralinks will be implanted

3. Things Neuralink will be able to do

4. Important takeaways from the latest Show and Tell event

In future episodes, we’ll dive more into:

- Neuralink’s architectural decisions and plans to scale

- The spike detection, decoding algorithms, and differences among brain regions

- Robot/ hardware/ manufacturing

- Neural shunt concept/ future projects  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
