Neural Interfaces

Davide Valeriani

Your brain is the most complex hardware in the universe. Can we build technology that directly interact with it, or perhaps, even improve it? Neural Interfaces explores the rapidly evolving world of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Each week, with the help of scientists and engineers, we explain how these devices work and how they are built. The podcast is the companion of the Neural Interfaces book published by Elsevier, and co-edited by Davide Valeriani and Theresa Vaughan.

    19. The story of Neurable

    For decades, Brain-Computer Interfaces were confined to high-tech university labs. But what does it take to turn science into a sleek, everyday consumer product that people can use at home? In this episode, we are diving into the origin story of Neurable with his CEO and Co-Founder, Dr. Ramses Alcaide. Founded in 2016 out of the University of Michigan’s Direct Brain Interface Lab, Neurable set out with a massive, audacious vision: to make technology accessible, intuitive, and empowering through neurotech. Their mission? To build the world’s first everyday BCI. RESOURCES Building neurotechnologies for everyday use: the story of Neurable, by Ramses Alcaide https://www.neurable.com/

    18. Regulatory landscape

    How does a cutting-edge brain implant go from a sketch on a whiteboard to a real-world medical device helping patients? The answer lies in the highly complex, often misunderstood world of medical regulation. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the regulatory pathways essential for bringing neurological devices to market with Dr. Carlos Peña. We map out the entire lifecycle of a BCI device, translating dense legal requirements into an actionable roadmap for developers, researchers, and tech enthusiasts.

    17. Ethical challenges

    In previous episodes, we have seen how neural interfaces can restore speech, move robotic limbs, and enhance human capabilities. But as neurotechnology rapidly leaps from the lab to the commercial market, it raises a massive wave of ethical questions that traditional guidelines simply are not equipped to handle. In this episode, Drs. Lilyana Levy and Anna Wexler show how neuroethics tackle these and other challenges. We look at real-world dilemmas facing developers, researchers, and consumers.

    16. Restoring speech

    Imagine being fully conscious, fully aware, but trapped inside a body that refuses to speak. This is the reality of locked-in syndrome, where the ability to communicate—our most fundamental human connection—is completely severed. But what if we could bypass the damaged nerves entirely? In this episode, Dr. Prashanth Prakash will describe how we can use implanted microelectrodes to read neural signals and translate them directly into text and spoken audio.

    15. Restoring motor function

    One of the first applications of neural interfaces has been for restoring motor functions. But how do these systems actually work? In this episode, Drs. Donatella Mattia and Natalie Mrachacz-Kersting explain what is neuroplasticity and how it is leveraged to restore motor capabilities in people with severe disabilities.

    14. Improve athletic performance

    Mind and body are even more linked than we thought. In fact, our physical performance directly depend on the health of our brain. In this episode, we explore with Dr. Camille Jeunet-Kelway how to use neurofeedback to train better and excel in sports and physical activities at large.

    13. Making better decisions with neural technologies

    In this episode, we explore how neural technologies can be used to improve the way we make decisions with Professor Riccardo Poli from the University of Essex. We will also discover how AI and brain-computer interfaces can be combined to make humans and artificial intelligence even better.
