Neural network expert explains NEURALINK (in simple language)

00:00 Trailer 05:54 Tertiary brain layer 19:49 Curing paralysis 23:09 How Neuralink works 33:34 Showing probes 44:15 Neuralink will be wayyy better than prior devices 1:01:20 Communication is lossy 1:14:27 Hearing Bluetooth, WiFi, Starlink 1:22:50 Animal testing & brain proxies 1:29:57 Controlling muscle units w/ Neuralink 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. Neura Pod is a series covering topics related to Neuralink, Inc. Topics such as brain-machine interfaces, brain injuries, and artificial intelligence will be explored. Host Ryan Tanaka synthesizes information, shares opinions, and conducts interviews to easily learn about Neuralink and its future.
