Why this episode matters: Most AI scales existing architectures; Robots go Mental starts from how brains actually learn. That contrarian, neuroscience-rooted bet — validated by early work with NASA — is the kind of deep-tech origin story worth understanding.

In this episode, we cover:

• Machine-learning algorithms inspired by brain research
• How an early-stage AI startup ended up working with NASA
• Danko Nikolic on neuroscience as a foundation for AI
• Why a brain-inspired approach differs from mainstream ML
