Just made a podcast episode inspired by Dr. Farhad Mostasari’s thread.

The only class of medicine and medical companies that are going to benefit from RFK Jr is #psychedelics.
I know JD Vance has sucked all the oxygen on social media outlets but a world exists outside of USA and that world has a say.
Listen to what the rest of them have to say!

Why did the brain-computer interface (#BCI) go to therapy?
Because it had too many unresolved connections!😀

Another Chennai boy making it in the USA and the world.
Whether he does well or not, is immaterial to the legacy of the great city, Madras/Chennai
The field just got even more bizzare! This is so similar to how gene therapy in its early days wants to be regulated like an antibody based therapy but didn’t want to call itself that. History repeats itself, again!
4/4
By the definition and taxonomy proposed, proven therapeutic technologies like Magnus Medical ‘s #TMS is not a BCI? So what is it? That technology doesn’t read brain activity but is a machine/computer that causes therapeutic benefit.
3/4
But, I don’t see answer to the core question : What isn’t a #BCI? There just seems to more names to complicate matters than simplify things.
2/4
This makes no sense to me. There is so much mumbo-jumbo about separating out the BCIs into categories like how colonial British rule separated its subjects and to what end, I ask?

Batteries in all shapes and forms are the dial-up modems of the 21st century. You wait forever to charge the device and controller.

Americans have a funny way of saying the word nuclear!!
It’s not nu-cular, dumbass!
Honestly, think non-invasive, targeted methodologies like focussed ultrasound and TMS have better utility than invasive #BCI for #mentalhealth disorders.
When they say, stent(s) or under the skull implant can do better than deep brain stimulation(#DBS), they are merely hoodwinking.
Another inflated and bloated valuation and raise.
No one is going to make any money off this deal or #BCI company.
A humbug!

A really good webinar from the Bio-design program at Stanford on the topic of coverage of breakthrough medical technologies.

A remarkably candid interview that every person cares about what ends up in the wallet and NOT about ideology.
It is a bit damning when one of the most successful tech VCs in Marc Andresen says Biden Govt hated tech.

I ain’t woke or conservative but honestly the degree to which some of the leftist ideals induced bureaucracy has stifled investment is nuts!

I officially confirm that I have deleted all news apps from my phone.
There is no reason to stay informed and once a week, old school check in worked back then and will work again.
🦋 feels like window shopping. Everyone is liking what they see but no one wants to step into the store.
Happy with their munchies and to pass on by….
Some of my best work with @jojoplatt.bsky.social
While everyone talks of #BCI for #mentalhealth now and RFK Jr being sympathetic to regulated #psychedelics, you must know the facts.

Man, the Aussie TV production is always a revelation. From Kerry Packer to today, they keep upping the game.
This colour coded imagery of bat swings and hit trajectory is just poetry!

Unpopular opinion and needs to be said.
#BCI is like a co-ord set that luxury brands sell. It feels luxurious in pictures but in the end, it looks like a pyjama.
You can run but you cannot hide from the inflated valuations and alter-universe market share projections.

I fear such calls have dubious bias towards the brain when the business end is in the nerves outside the brain.
And no, I am not talking of spinal cord or the vagus?
The funding agencies show an absolute lack of imagination and follow a herd mentality.
Pity!!
Is this only for brain interfacing or is it available for autonomic nerves?
Also, will the work (spend) need to be done in the UK or can it done where it’s cheaper (like a foundry elsewhere)?
@gayathriv.bsky.social would be perfect!
Being a scientist is so much similar to being a tennis🎾 player.
You are either ahead of the times with your ideas or behind, you catch up if you are behind and finally build points into games into sets.
Now for the interesting story.
Pay close attention to the logo, do you want to know the reason why the company was called Alpheus?
The answer lies in this podcast episode that I did with @jojoplatt called #Skraps.
