Stephen Ho: Exploring Neurotech in Cinema with the Neurratives Podcast
Neural Implant podcast - the people behind Brain-Machine Interface revolutions
Today's guest is from Blackrock Microsystems. While we've featured Blackrock guests before, Stephen's appearance today is driven by his podcast, , where neurotech-inspired movies are reviewed and discussed. Top 3 Takeaways: "Our goal for the podcast isn't necessarily to be overly technical, requiring a neuroscience degree to understand. We're often deep in the subject matter and may get a bit jargony, but broadly, we aim to be accessible without pretending to be accomplished neuroscience researchers." “Due to the subject's nature, movies dealing with neuroscience themes...
info_outlineAdam Sefler and Radhika Gupta head up NTX Services which is a distinct for-profit entity affiliated with the non-profit NeuroTechX. They offer consulting and recruitment services with the vision to aid in the commercialization of neurotechnology at a global scale.
Top 3 Takeaways:
- "Our projects range from [client] projects coming right out of labs, to setting up a whole new division for a larger company, to describing and setting the marketing strategy for an [international] startup, to doing C-level executive search[es] on the recruiting side, but […], that's by no means a complete list of projects we are working on"
- "Consultants are not always known or an obvious choice [for startups and scaleups]. But when you explain the extent of what can be done (and how it would be done), there's very often an appreciation for a fast solution that can be deployed without necessarily hiring a lot of different people, which is not [always] a possibility for a smaller company.”
- "[…] We bring the same quality and professionalism, that you'll find at a top tier consulting firm while knowing that, for example, the top management consulting firms can charge in the six-figures for one week of work. We know that a, a dollar spent on a service support is something that has to yield something in [both] the long term and the short term [...]"
