  • Fascinating!

    I’m so happy this podcast exists, thanks Ladan and awesome job! As an entrepreneur interested in the neurotechnology field without an official scientific background, I find this podcast to be the most complete yet digestible source of information about this rapidly growing field, with top-quality guests and conversations. Highly recommend—my new favourite podcast!

  • Best source of neural interface and brain implant info on the web today

    Ladan is an amazing podcaster who has managed to snag some of the best and most important people in this space and ask great questions for 30+ minutes at a time. Very on topic, insightful, and I've learned so many things about companies and research that I could not have anywhere else. If you're into brain-computer interfaces, this is perhaps THE most information-dense way to learn.

  • Helpful and insightful

    I really enjoy the different guests in this podcast. I'm a 1st year engineering student and just started as a research student assistant at my university. I still have not gotten to the upper level courses so I feel rather behind in terms of knowledge during lab meetings, but this podcasts helps me shorten that gap between what I know and want to know in terms of neuroprostheses. Definitely recommend!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Omari Bouknight - Resonant Link Medical and the Next Generation of Wirelessly Powered Neurotech
Q: What is the path to clinical adoption—who are you mainly partnering with and what stages do you support?
We partner primarily with OEMs and startups, helping them from early concept and prototype through first-in-human studies and into pivotal trials, and then into commercial deployment, with a focus on device footprint reduction and enhanced patient outcomes.
Omari Bouknight - Resonant Link Medical and the Next Generation of Wirelessly Powered Neurotech
Q: What ranges of power do you support, and how does that align with current and future neurotech needs?
We can power devices from milliwatts up to 15 watts, with the capability to support small, low-power implants as well as larger systems like those intended to replace percutaneous leads, all while maintaining safe thermal limits.
Omari Bouknight - Resonant Link Medical and the Next Generation of Wirelessly Powered Neurotech
Q: Can you give a quick overview of how your wireless power stack works and what makes it special for implants?
The stack uses multi-layer self-resonant coil structures to transfer energy efficiently through tissue, with coil on the outside and receiving coil inside, designed to minimize heat and tolerate some misalignment, which is crucial for everyday movement and long-term implant viability.
Dr. Christian Iorio-Morin - From Gamma Knife to Neuroprosthetics: The Future of Functional Neurosurgery
Q: What are the main barriers to testing new neural interface ideas in humans today?
Researchers struggle with device access and open hardware constraints since commercial systems are often locked for specific indications, making it hard to test new algorithms or hardware; lack of standardized, open research platforms slows progress.
Dr. Christian Iorio-Morin - From Gamma Knife to Neuroprosthetics: The Future of Functional Neurosurgery
Q: How does Gamma Knife compare to Deep Brain Stimulation in terms of permanency and follow-up?
Gamma Knife provides a permanent lesion with no implanted hardware and less need for follow-up programming, while DBS requires ongoing management, battery replacements, and recurrent checks; patient preference and disease progression influence the choice.
