Conversations

Below is a collection of conversations, talks and interviews I’ve done. For a quick introduction to how I think about scaling neurotechnology, start with my Foresight Institute talk or this Nature piece. For a much deeper account of my work, how I arrived here and the future I am trying to build, listen to my conversation with Juan Benet.
