Today's guest is Craig Mermel, President and Chief Product Officer at Precision Neuroscience. Founded in 2021, Precision Neuroscience's mission is to bring life-changing brain technology to millions of people by unlocking the potential of brain–computer interfaces with minimally invasive, high resolution neural implants. While brain–computer interface technology (BCI) has exciting implications for the future of computing, everything Precision do is geared towards creating tangible, near-term benefits for people suffering from neurological disorders. Scientists conducted the first successful experiments in BCI technology in the early 2000s. Paralyzed people have used this technology to control robotic arms, play video games and send messages with their minds alone, but it has yet to move beyond small-scale research settings and into mainstream medical practice. Precision is taking BCIs into the next era by creating these powerful implants that will revolutionize treatment for neurologic diseases. In today's episode, Craig will discuss: Precision Neuroscience’s mission and work with brain -computer interfaces, Recent breakthroughs and current status of their product, The day-to-day life of the team, What excites him for the next phase of the company, Why Precision Neuroscience is a great place to work
