Episode notes
Adam's Background
- Adam Berenzweig worked on Google Music and Goggles before deep learning.
- He saw deep learning's potential while working on Goggles and later co-founded Clarifai.
Neural Interface
- CTRL-labs is developing a neural interface worn on the arm, not a brain implant.
- This interface decodes muscle signals, which originate from the brain, to control machines.
Motor Nervous System
- The motor nervous system is key for interaction with the world, according to neuroscientist Daniel Wolpert.
- CTRL-labs focuses on the motor cortex because it translates intention into action.
