We spoke with ecologist Dr. Meredith Palmer and embedded engineer Akiba about lions, terror, and technology. Akiba works for FreakLabs.org on global conservation projects. We talked about their Boombox which Meredith uses to create experiments to map the landscape of fear in predator/prey relationships. While this may look like pranking animals with jump scares, well, there is real science being done. What would it look like to be smooched by a lioness? (Video) Bird hears lion, decides to go over there (Video) Checking the reflexes of some zebras and other critters (Video) These are lots of fun to watch and you can find the freshest ones and help out science by categorizing some at Snapshot Safari. Or skip to using the data on Lila.science (Snapshot Safari 2024 data). Check out Meredith's website for more github and Data Dryad links to data and science. If you want to get involved, Wildlabs.net has discussions around conservation technology. There is also a Slack group by Sara Beery focusing on AI for conservation. Elecia mentioned David Quammen, an author who writes a lot about biology and ecology. And now, a guy gives birth to a botfly.

Нейроинтерфейсы — это всё ещё про научную фантастику или уже про реальность? Можно ли играть в WoW силой мысли? А киборги — они уже среди нас? Neuralink и Илон Маск — это хайповый маркетинг или реально будущее индустрии? Чтобы разобраться, нужно сначала хотя бы немного понять, как работает мозг, а потом посмотреть, на что способны нейроинтерфейсы — инвазивные, неинвазивные и полуинвазивные. В чем их ограничения, в чём потенциал, и что уже умеет наука и индустрия. Всё это (+ байки, куда же без них!) обсуждаем в выпуске вместе с нейроучёным и кандидатом психологических наук Ильёй Захаровым.

In this episode we answer emails from Ed, Joe and Jack. We discuss a commodities fund, BCI, some more cowbell, and Fidelity's share lending program.And THEN we our go through our weekly and monthly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page: Donate - Father McKenna CenterBCI vs. PDBC vs. COM vs. DBMFX: testfol.io/analysis?s=3NIFkA7mNB9Small Cap Value vs. S&P 500 In 21st Century: testfol.io/analysis?s=gkqbgk7mzkaBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Looking for that perfect balance between return potential and downside protection? This episode delivers practical insights for DIY investors navigating today's complex markets.We dive deep into commodity ETFs as listener Ed asks about PDBC versus BCI for his portfolio. The comparison reveals surprising differences in expense ratios, management approaches, and tracking errors that could significantly impact your returns over time. Frank shares why he's personally shifted away from dedicated commodity funds toward managed futures for inflation protection.The conversation then turns to small cap value investing, but with a crucial twist that many investors miss. Rather than focusing solely on whether small cap value will outperform the broader market, Frank emphasizes its diversification benefits during market downturns. The 2022 market crash provides a perfect case study: while growth stocks plummeted 30-50%, value stocks ranged from -10% to +10%, creating powerful rebalancing opportunities that can enhance long-term performance.We also examine Fidelity's Fully Paid Lending Program, which allows investors to earn additional income by lending their securities. While the potential return seems modest (around 0.625% annually), we consider the counterparty risks and regulatory protections you might sacrifice.The episode concludes with our weekly portfolio reviews revealing fascinating performance patterns in 2024. Gold continues to shine with a remarkable 26.81% year-to-date gain while the broader market struggles. This performance disparity highlights why thoughtful asset allocation matters more than ever for investors seeking to build truly resilient portfolios.Whether you're managing a multi-million dollar portfolio or just starting your investment journey, these insights will help you navigate market volatility with greater confidence and clarity.What's your approach to balancing growth and value in your equity allocation?

Da quando ha fatto la sua prima comparsa sul Pianeta Terra e fino ai giorni nostri, la Natura nei suoi quasi 4 miliardi di anni ha avuto modo di evolversi in continuazione, perfezionarsi e trovare soluzioni sempre più efficienti per adattarsi. Non è un caso che l'uomo studi con particolare attenzione la natura che lo circonda, non solo per comprenderla, ma per trarre ispirazione nella progettazione delle nuove tecnologie. Questa continua ricerca di idee dalla natura è diventata una vera e propria disciplina: la biomimetica (o biomimesi). In questa puntata esploriamo come l'imitazione dei processi biologici e biomeccanici della natura ha ispirato tecnologie rivoluzionarie e come potrebbe influenzare le innovazioni future, dall'intelligenza artificiale alle interfacce cervello-computer.Nella sezione delle notizie parliamo dello scontro tra USA e UE sul Digital Markets Act, delle nuove ricerche sui nanomateriali che verranno condotte sulla Stazione Spaziale Internazionale e delle modifiche alle normative sui veicoli autonomi da parte dell'amministrazione Trump, che sembrano favorire particolarmente Tesla.--Indice--00:00 - Introduzione00:55 - Scontro aperto sul Digital Markets Act (HDBlog.it, Davide Fasoli)02:02 - Sulla ISS nuove ricerche sui nanomateriali (HDBlog.it, Luca Martinelli)03:31 - Gli USA rivedono le regole sui veicoli autonomi (TheVerge.com, Matteo Gallo)05:13 - La Tecnologia che copia la Natura (Luca Martinelli)16:36 - Conclusione--Testo--Leggi la trascrizione: https://www.dentrolatecnologia.it/S7E17#testo--Contatti--• www.dentrolatecnologia.it• Instagram (@dentrolatecnologia)• Telegram (@dentrolatecnologia)• YouTube (@dentrolatecnologia)• redazione@dentrolatecnologia.it--Brani--• Ecstasy by Rabbit Theft• Whatever by Cartoon & Andromedik
An evolving technology is changing the lives of people with paralysis: brain-computer interfaces (BCI). These are devices that are implanted in the brain and record neural activity, then translate those signals into commands for a computer. This allows people to type, play computer games, and talk with others just by thinking, allowing more freedom to communicate.For decades, this technology has looked like a person controlling a cursor on a screen. But this work has advanced, and in a recent breakthrough, a person with paralysis in all four limbs was able to move a virtual quadcopter with extreme precision by thinking about moving it with their fingers.Another area of BCI research involves speech. Recent work has shown promise in allowing people with vocal paralysis to “speak” through a computer, using old recordings to recreate the person's voice from before their paralysis.Joining Host Flora Lichtman to discuss the state of this technology, and where it may be headed, are Dr. Matthew Willsey, assistant professor of neurosurgery and biomedical engineering at the University of Michigan, and Dr. Sergey Stavisky, assistant professor of neurosurgery and co-director of the Neuroprosthetics Lab at the University of California, Davis.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Non pas en bougeant les lèvres, mais en pensant. Grâce à un implant cérébral et à l'intelligence artificielle, elle peut désormais traduire ses pensées en paroles… instantanément.Il y a plus de 15 ans, Ann a été victime d'un AVC massif. Depuis, elle est enfermée dans son propre corps : incapable de bouger, incapable de parler. Mais tout a changé grâce à une technologie révolutionnaire développée par des chercheurs de l'Université de Californie à San Francisco, en collaboration avec l'équipe de Berkeley. Leur objectif ? Redonner une voix à ceux qui n'en ont plus.Le cœur de cette prouesse, c'est une interface cerveau-ordinateur, qu'on appelle aussi BCI. Concrètement, les chercheurs ont implanté une grille de 253 électrodes à la surface du cortex cérébral d'Ann, dans la région du cerveau responsable de la parole. Ces électrodes enregistrent les signaux électriques que le cerveau envoie lorsqu'elle pense à parler.Mais capter les pensées ne suffit pas. Il faut les décoder. Et c'est là que l'intelligence artificielle entre en jeu. Après plusieurs semaines d'entraînement, un algorithme sophistiqué a appris à reconnaître les schémas neuronaux correspondant à plus de 1 000 mots. Résultat ? Ann peut aujourd'hui exprimer ses pensées à une vitesse de 62 mots par minute. C'est plus de trois fois plus rapide que les anciennes technologies de communication assistée.Mais ce n'est pas tout. L'équipe de chercheurs a aussi recréé numériquement *la voix d'Ann*, à partir de vieilles vidéos d'elle datant d'avant son AVC. Ce n'est donc pas une voix robotique qu'on entend, mais bien *la sienne*. Et pour rendre l'expérience encore plus humaine, ses pensées sont transmises à un avatar numérique qui reproduit en temps réel ses expressions faciales : un sourire, un froncement de sourcils… Comme si elle était là, en face de vous.Ce projet est encore expérimental, mais il ouvre des perspectives incroyables pour les personnes atteintes de paralysie sévère, du syndrome de verrouillage, ou de maladies neurodégénératives comme la SLA. Les défis restent nombreux, notamment en matière de miniaturisation et de fiabilité à long terme. Mais une chose est sûre : on vient de franchir un pas de géant vers une communication totalement réinventée. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
We're looking at the science of the microbots from Disney and Marvel's Big Hero 6 in our latest episode.“Are you satisfied with your care?”BaymaxConsidering how the entire mission statement of our show involves the intersection of science and story, and how we love the thought of getting younger people excited about STEM, it's something of a wonder that we didn't get to Disney's Big Hero 6 sooner. While technically a superhero story and loosely based on a Marvel property, Big Hero 6 is uniquely original and as wonderfully wholesome as it is action-packed. But best of all (for our purposes, at least), it's got a central concept and plot device that absolutely beg to be unpacked from every imaginable angle.No, sadly, it's not about what makes Baymax so adorably huggable. The piece we're focusing on for today's episode is microbots and the attendant neural transmitter which controls them. This is what kicks off virtually all the action in the film, the one with the most real world parallels, and the one that we feel is the best fodder for discussion…for now. We'll get to our beloved Baymax in a future episode if enough of you ask for him!Watch the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here…https://youtu.be/Whc6qcMG1FUSUGGESTED VIEWING While there's some additional Big Hero 6 media and lore out there, we based our discussion on this episode solely on the events that take place in that movie…which is plenty good enough as it won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature in 2015. But if you (like us) can't get enough of Baymax, there's also a Disney+ animated series focused solely on the big cuddly robot titled, appropriately, Baymax!. There's also a Big Hero 6 animated series that picks up directly after the events of the film. We're still hoping for a big screen sequel, though!FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Nanobots vs. MicrobotsHakeem said it best if you're trying to understand the difference: “A nanobot is a thousand times smaller than a microbot,” although some sources seem to continue to use them interchangeably. But to give you an idea of some of the more exciting developments, there are those that can manipulate a single cell and we are inching (sorry) closer to clinical trials to deploy nano and microbots in human health care. There are reasons to believe this could end up getting us closer to a cure for cancer (yes, that's a video, but it fit better here than in our “suggested viewing” section).Brain Computer Interfaces + Nanobots = Coolness!We also covered the topic of Brain Computer Interfaces a little bit in our episodes on RoboCop and 3 Body Problem, but it's just as relevant here. Here's a refresher/overview for you.And while we're at it, this paper on the intersection of BCI's and actual nanobots for real world purposes reads like something that would actually exist in the fictional world of Big Hero 6, but it's actually real!Collective BehaviorSure, the microbots in Big Hero 6 behave in intensely coordinated ways, but you know what else already does that really well in our world? Drone shows!And The Oscar Goes To…Who says that Marvel movies aren't Academy Award worthy? This one sure was!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?Big Hero 6 isn't the only Disney animated movie to tackle superheroes. Check out our episode on The Incredibles for more!Don't forget, Big Hero 6 is also technically a Marvel movie!

Ngày 19/02/2025, Việt Nam tinh giản bộ máy Nhà nước, từ 18 bộ xuống còn 14 bộ và từ 4 cơ quan ngang bộ xuống 3. Tiếp theo là sáp nhập tỉnh thành, sẽ phải hoàn tất trước ngày 30/08 và đi vào hoạt động từ tháng 09. “Cuộc cách mạng” hành chính cho phép Việt Nam nâng vị thế trong chuỗi giá trị toàn cầu trong bối cảnh từ năm 2018, Việt Nam được coi là nước hưởng lợi chính từ việc dịch chuyển chuỗi cung ứng khỏi Trung Quốc. Việc tinh gọn bộ máy được Hiệp hội Doanh nghiệp Châu Âu - EuroCham, cũng như các nhà đầu tư nước ngoài, đánh giá là tiền đề để Việt Nam thu hút nguồn vốn đầu tư trực tiếp nước ngoài, qua đó khẳng định vị thế là trung tâm đầu tư của Đông Nam Á. Hoạt động từ năm 1998, EuroCham hiện là một trong những hiệp hội doanh nghiệp nước ngoài lớn nhất tại Việt Nam với hơn 1.400 thành viên sử dụng hơn 150.000 lao động.Trả lời RFI Tiếng Việt ngày 06/03/2025, phó chủ tịch Jean-Jacques Bouflet phụ trách Chính sách EuroCham đề cao quyết tâm của chính quyền Việt Nam nhưng ông cũng lưu ý cần phải khẩn trương và tiến hành một cách hiệu quả.RFI : Việt Nam tiến hành tinh giản bộ máy Nhà nước, được coi là "cuộc cách mạng lần thứ hai". Phòng Thương mại Châu Âu (EuroCham) và các thành viên đánh giá biện pháp cải cách này như thế nào ? EuroCham và các thành viên được thông tin như thế nào về những thay đổi mà quá trình này mang lại ?Phó chủ tịch EuroCham Jean-Jacques Bouflet : Các doanh nghiệp tiếp đón thông tin tương đối tích cực. Chúng tôi cũng tiến hành một cuộc điều tra, được gọi là “chỉ số tin tưởng” của các doanh nghiệp (BCI), và nhìn chung cam kết của chính phủ được coi là một bước theo hướng tốt. 43% trên tổng số các doanh nghiệp thuộc Liên Hiệp Châu Âu cho rằng về lâu dài thủ tục hành chính sẽ được đơn giản hóa, trong đó có việc thông qua các nền tảng kỹ thuật số và nhất là qua việc tinh giản bộ máy hành chính đang diễn ra. Tuy nhiên, 36% thành viên trong EuroCham vẫn bày tỏ quan ngại về những chậm trễ có thể xảy ra trong quá trình chuyển tiếp. Nhưng chúng ta cứ giữ lạc quan xem sao !Chúng tôi được thông tin như nào ư ? Chúng tôi có được ưu ái là có một buổi làm việc với thủ tướng Việt Nam ngày 02/03. Có hơn 50 người tham gia, trong đó có đại sứ Liên Hiệp Châu Âu, cũng như đại sứ nhiều nước thành viên. Chúng tôi đối thoại với thủ tướng Phạm Minh Chính cùng hai phó thủ tướng và rất nhiều bộ ngành liên quan. Ông Chính đã trình bày về việc đơn giản hóa thủ tục hành chính để kích thích đầu tư vì đây là mục tiêu chính của cuộc cải cách. Sau buổi họp đó, EuroCham đã tổ chức nhiều sự kiện để thông tin đến các thành viên. Có thể thấy là cho đến nay đã có nhiều ý tưởng. Dĩ nhiên là sẽ còn phải chờ xem thực tế liệu những chủ trương đó có biến thành những cải cách cụ thể hay không. Nhưng dù sao cũng đã có ý tưởng.RFI : Sau khi cải cách được thông báo, cũng như sau cuộc họp với thủ tướng Việt Nam thì EuroCham trông đợi cụ thể điều gì ?Ông Jean-Jacques Bouflet : Điểm chính của cuộc cải cách là giảm đáng kể số lượng bộ. Nhiều bộ đã được hợp nhất, ví dụ bộ Nông Nghiệp và Môi Trường, điều này cho thấy một bước đi và mong muốn đi theo hướng quá độ và chuyển đổi nền kinh tế Việt Nam, hoặc ví dụ bộ Kế Hoạch Đầu Tư được gộp vào bộ Tài Chính. Tôi nhớ không nhầm là từ 18 bộ xuống còn 14 bộ. Có thể thấy mong muốn tinh giản bộ máy Nhà nước và mặt khác chính phủ cũng tìm cách phi tập trung hóa, có nghĩa là một phần các thủ tục hành chính sẽ được áp dụng ở cấp địa phương, tại các tỉnh với khoảng 60 tỉnh ở Việt Nam, và điều này sẽ cho phép chúng tôi tiếp cận gần với các nhà ra quyết định hơn.Nói tóm lại, mục đích của đợt tinh giản bộ máy Nhà nước là giảm bớt thủ tục hành chính, khoảng 30% toàn bộ thủ tục, và thúc đẩy việc áp dụng để đẩy nhanh chính những thủ tục đó. 30% là con số ấn tượng nên chúng tôi đầy hy vọng. RFI : Cuộc cải cách này là một điều kiện tiên quyết để Việt Nam thu hút đầu từ nước ngoài. Nhìn từ các nhà đầu tư nước ngoài, ví dụ các thành viên của EuroCham, cần phải có những điều kiện nào khác để Việt Nam có thể khẳng định vị trí trung tâm đầu tư ở Đông Nam Á như tham vọng của chính phủ Việt Nam ?Ông Jean-Jacques Bouflet : Như tôi đề cập ở trên, điều mà EuroCham trông đợi, cũng là điều kiện chính đối với chúng tôi, để kích thích đầu tư của châu Âu vào Việt Nam, vẫn là giảm thủ tục hành chính, chấm dứt những phức tạp, chồng chéo và phân chia rải rác giữa các bộ ngành, cơ quan ở cấp trung ương cũng như địa phương. Nhiều khi cứ như lạc vào rừng rậm, thủ tục tích tụ, chồng chéo và phải vượt qua một số ngưỡng. Vì vậy cuộc cải cách này thực sự là cần thiết.Ngoài ra, như chúng ta đã biết, Việt Nam và Liên Hiệp Châu Âu đã ký Hiệp định Tự do Thương mại và đang trong giai đoạn triển khai. Chúng tôi cũng mong giai đoạn này triển khai này giúp giải phóng thực sự điều kiện thâm nhập thị trường, cũng như hoạt động của các doanh nghiệp châu Âu được kết trái từ đầu tư vào Việt Nam. Về điểm này, tiếc là chúng tôi vẫn chưa nhận được sự phê chuẩn Hiệp định Bảo hộ Đầu tư vì hiệp định này phải qua hai vòng phê chuẩn của Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và của các nước thành viên. Hiện giờ vẫn còn khoảng 10 nước thành viên chưa phê chuẩn.Còn về bản thân Hiệp định Tự do Thương mại, điều quan trọng là hiệp định phải được áp dụng triệt để và theo đúng tinh thần. Có nghĩa là cần phải tránh để việc giảm thuế quan bị vi phạm hoặc bị bù lại bằng cách tăng thuế ở trong nước đối với sản phẩm đó hoặc bằng các rào cản kỹ thuật cho trao đổi thương mại.RFI : Các thành viên EuroCham đầu tư vào những lĩnh vực nào ở Việt Nam hiện nay, cũng như xu hướng đầu tư trong tương lai ? Ông Jean-Jacques Bouflet : EuroCham đại diện cho toàn bộ các doanh nghiệp châu Âu, ở cấp độ Liên Hiệp Châu Âu, do đó, lĩnh vực hoạt động của chúng tôi rất rộng. Chỉ riêng nội bộ EuroCham đã có khoảng 20 ủy ban chuyên ngành, từ dược phẩm, nông nghiệp, đến rượu vang, rượu mạnh hoặc điện tử cho nên mảng hoạt động rất rộng, trong lĩnh vực nhập khẩu bởi vì có rất nhiều doanh nghiệp xuất khẩu sang Việt Nam, cũng như sản xuất, chiếm một phần quan trọng bởi vì chúng tôi cũng có rất nhiều thành viên sản xuất ở Việt Nam, sau đó tái xuất khẩu sang Liên Hiệp Châu Âu hoặc sang các thị trường thứ ba.Liên quan đến việc sản xuất ở Việt Nam, lĩnh vực chủ đạo vẫn là đồ điện tử. Việt Nam đang giữ vị trí quan trọng về điểm này, dường như là điện tử giữ vị trí thứ nhất về xuất khẩu, vượt qua cả nông nghiệp. Cho dù châu Âu có thể ít mạnh hơn trong lĩnh vực này ở Việt Nam nhưng còn rất nhiều cơ hội đầu tư.Ngoài ra còn có cả quá trình chuyển đổi sang nền kinh tế tôn trọng môi trường hơn, vẫn được gọi là “Green Deal” và chúng tôi muốn thể hiện và khẳng định ở Việt Nam. Tôi phải nói là về điểm này, Việt Nam đã nắm được phần nào vị trí đầu tầu so với các nước đang phát triển khác trong vùng. Đó là những lĩnh vực mà chúng tôi đầu tư đặc biệt hơn. Chúng tôi có một ủy ban đặc trách “Green Growth” - tăng trưởng xanh - rất năng động. Chúng tôi đối thoại rất nhiều với chính quyền Việt Nam. Việt Nam đang hiện đại hóa lĩnh vực năng lượng bằng cách thúc đẩy các loại hình năng lượng tái tạo, cho dù chúng ta khởi động từ mức khá thấp, và tất cả các doanh nghiệp của chúng tôi tập trung, điều phối với nhau về những lĩnh vực đầy hứa hẹn như này. RFI : Chủ tịch Ủy Ban Châu Âu Ursula von der Leyen dự kiến thăm Việt Nam. Ông có nghĩ là chuyến công du sẽ sớm diễn ra không ? Ông Jean-Jacques Bouflet : Chúng tôi hy vọng bà Ursula von der Leyen sớm đến thăm chúng tôi. Tôi nghĩ Việt Nam là một nhân tố quan trọng cho thương mại quốc tế và cho hợp tác đối tác giữa các nước phát triển như Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và những nền kinh tế mới đang trỗi dậy mạnh mẽ như Việt Nam. Tôi nghĩ là trong thời điểm phần nào xáo trộn như hiện nay, cần phải nhắc lại sự gắn bó vào hệ thống thương mại quốc tế dựa trên khuôn khổ luật pháp rõ ràng, dự đoán được và đa phương, các quy định của Tổ Chức Thương Mại Thế Giới (WTO) cũng như Hiệp định Tự do Thương mại như tôi đề cập ở trên. Điều này rất quan trọng ! Đúng là chuyến thăm của bà Ursula von der Leyen sẽ tượng trưng phần nào cho điểm trên. Ngoài ra, cũng đừng quên rằng Việt Nam là thị trường có 100 triệu dân, đó là đất nước có tiềm năng rất lớn và là một nhân tố chủ đạo cho việc phân bổ lao động quốc tế.Ngoài chuyến thăm của chủ tịch Ủy Ban Châu Âu, chúng tôi cũng mong ủy viên thương mại châu Âu Maroš Šefčovič đến thăm để phát hành "Sách Trắng" mà chúng tôi vẫn soạn thảo hàng năm để trình bày những đề xuất với chính quyền Việt Nam nhằm cải thiện trao đổi và đầu tư giữa Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và Việt Nam. Chúng tôi hy vọng năm nay ông Maroš Šefčovič đứng ra chủ trì buổi lễ này. Có thể thấy là mọi chuyện đang đi vào quy củ với Việt Nam theo chiều hướng năng động được hình thành từ Hiệp định Tự do Thương mại ký vào năm 2019 và phê chuẩn năm 2020 và vẫn đang tiếp tục cho kết quả dù chậm nhưng chắc. Dĩ nhiên cũng phải chú ý đến bối cảnh quốc tế khó khăn hiện nay nhưng tôi tin Liên Hiệp Châu Âu phải tái khẳng định gắn kết với khuôn khổ đa phương dựa trên quy định luật pháp rõ ràng và tin cậy. Bởi vì, đối với các doanh nghiệp châu Âu chúng tôi, ở rất xa châu Âu, điều quan trọng là phải có được khuôn khổ ổn định, rõ ràng, dự đoán được chứ không phải chịu ảnh hưởng từ những sự kiện, những “rối loạn” gây bất ổn. Khi người ta đầu tư, nhất là ở nước ngoài, đó là những khoản tiền khá lớn, cần nhiều năm mới khấu hao được đầu tư, vì thế có được niềm tin như vậy là điều rất quan trọng.RFI Tiếng Việt xin chân thành cảm ơn ông Jean-Jacques Bouflet, phó chủ tịch phụ trách Chính sách tại Hiệp hội Doanh nghiệp Châu Âu tại Việt Nam EuroCham.

Ông Chính đã trình bày về việc đơn giản hóa thủ tục hành chính để kích thích đầu tư vì đây là mục tiêu chính của cuộc cải cách. Sau buổi họp đó, EuroCham đã tổ chức nhiều sự kiện để thông tin đến các thành viên. Có thể thấy là cho đến nay đã có nhiều ý tưởng. Dĩ nhiên là sẽ còn phải chờ xem thực tế liệu những chủ trương đó có biến thành những cải cách cụ thể hay không. Nhưng dù sao cũng đã có ý tưởng.RFI : Sau khi cải cách được thông báo, cũng như sau cuộc họp với thủ tướng Việt Nam thì EuroCham trông đợi cụ thể điều gì ?Ông Jean-Jacques Bouflet : Điểm chính của cuộc cải cách là giảm đáng kể số lượng bộ. Nhiều bộ đã được hợp nhất, ví dụ bộ Nông Nghiệp và Môi Trường, điều này cho thấy một bước đi và mong muốn đi theo hướng quá độ và chuyển đổi nền kinh tế Việt Nam, hoặc ví dụ bộ Kế Hoạch Đầu Tư được gộp vào bộ Tài Chính. Tôi nhớ không nhầm là từ 18 bộ xuống còn 14 bộ. Có thể thấy mong muốn tinh giản bộ máy Nhà nước và mặt khác chính phủ cũng tìm cách phi tập trung hóa, có nghĩa là một phần các thủ tục hành chính sẽ được áp dụng ở cấp địa phương, tại các tỉnh với khoảng 60 tỉnh ở Việt Nam, và điều này sẽ cho phép chúng tôi tiếp cận gần với các nhà ra quyết định hơn.Nói tóm lại, mục đích của đợt tinh giản bộ máy Nhà nước là giảm bớt thủ tục hành chính, khoảng 30% toàn bộ thủ tục, và thúc đẩy việc áp dụng để đẩy nhanh chính những thủ tục đó. 30% là con số ấn tượng nên chúng tôi đầy hy vọng. RFI : Cuộc cải cách này là một điều kiện tiên quyết để Việt Nam thu hút đầu từ nước ngoài. Nhìn từ các nhà đầu tư nước ngoài, ví dụ các thành viên của EuroCham, cần phải có những điều kiện nào khác để Việt Nam có thể khẳng định vị trí trung tâm đầu tư ở Đông Nam Á như tham vọng của chính phủ Việt Nam ?Ông Jean-Jacques Bouflet : Như tôi đề cập ở trên, điều mà EuroCham trông đợi, cũng là điều kiện chính đối với chúng tôi, để kích thích đầu tư của châu Âu vào Việt Nam, vẫn là giảm thủ tục hành chính, chấm dứt những phức tạp, chồng chéo và phân chia rải rác giữa các bộ ngành, cơ quan ở cấp trung ương cũng như địa phương. Nhiều khi cứ như lạc vào rừng rậm, thủ tục tích tụ, chồng chéo và phải vượt qua một số ngưỡng. Vì vậy cuộc cải cách này thực sự là cần thiết.Ngoài ra, như chúng ta đã biết, Việt Nam và Liên Hiệp Châu Âu đã ký Hiệp định Tự do Thương mại và đang trong giai đoạn triển khai. Chúng tôi cũng mong giai đoạn này triển khai này giúp giải phóng thực sự điều kiện thâm nhập thị trường, cũng như hoạt động của các doanh nghiệp châu Âu được kết trái từ đầu tư vào Việt Nam. Về điểm này, tiếc là chúng tôi vẫn chưa nhận được sự phê chuẩn Hiệp định Bảo hộ Đầu tư vì hiệp định này phải qua hai vòng phê chuẩn của Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và của các nước thành viên. Hiện giờ vẫn còn khoảng 10 nước thành viên chưa phê chuẩn.Còn về bản thân Hiệp định Tự do Thương mại, điều quan trọng là hiệp định phải được áp dụng triệt để và theo đúng tinh thần. Có nghĩa là cần phải tránh để việc giảm thuế quan bị vi phạm hoặc bị bù lại bằng cách tăng thuế ở trong nước đối với sản phẩm đó hoặc bằng các rào cản kỹ thuật cho trao đổi thương mại.RFI : Các thành viên EuroCham đầu tư vào những lĩnh vực nào ở Việt Nam hiện nay, cũng như xu hướng đầu tư trong tương lai ? Ông Jean-Jacques Bouflet : EuroCham đại diện cho toàn bộ các doanh nghiệp châu Âu, ở cấp độ Liên Hiệp Châu Âu, do đó, lĩnh vực hoạt động của chúng tôi rất rộng. Chỉ riêng nội bộ EuroCham đã có khoảng 20 ủy ban chuyên ngành, từ dược phẩm, nông nghiệp, đến rượu vang, rượu mạnh hoặc điện tử cho nên mảng hoạt động rất rộng, trong lĩnh vực nhập khẩu bởi vì có rất nhiều doanh nghiệp xuất khẩu sang Việt Nam, cũng như sản xuất, chiếm một phần quan trọng bởi vì chúng tôi cũng có rất nhiều thành viên sản xuất ở Việt Nam, sau đó tái xuất khẩu sang Liên Hiệp Châu Âu hoặc sang các thị trường thứ ba.Liên quan đến việc sản xuất ở Việt Nam, lĩnh vực chủ đạo vẫn là đồ điện tử. Việt Nam đang giữ vị trí quan trọng về điểm này, dường như là điện tử giữ vị trí thứ nhất về xuất khẩu, vượt qua cả nông nghiệp. Cho dù châu Âu có thể ít mạnh hơn trong lĩnh vực này ở Việt Nam nhưng còn rất nhiều cơ hội đầu tư.Ngoài ra còn có cả quá trình chuyển đổi sang nền kinh tế tôn trọng môi trường hơn, vẫn được gọi là “Green Deal” và chúng tôi muốn thể hiện và khẳng định ở Việt Nam. Tôi phải nói là về điểm này, Việt Nam đã nắm được phần nào vị trí đầu tầu so với các nước đang phát triển khác trong vùng. Đó là những lĩnh vực mà chúng tôi đầu tư đặc biệt hơn. Chúng tôi có một ủy ban đặc trách “Green Growth” - tăng trưởng xanh - rất năng động. Chúng tôi đối thoại rất nhiều với chính quyền Việt Nam. Việt Nam đang hiện đại hóa lĩnh vực năng lượng bằng cách thúc đẩy các loại hình năng lượng tái tạo, cho dù chúng ta khởi động từ mức khá thấp, và tất cả các doanh nghiệp của chúng tôi tập trung, điều phối với nhau về những lĩnh vực đầy hứa hẹn như này. RFI : Chủ tịch Ủy Ban Châu Âu Ursula von der Leyen dự kiến thăm Việt Nam. Ông có nghĩ là chuyến công du sẽ sớm diễn ra không ? Ông Jean-Jacques Bouflet : Chúng tôi hy vọng bà Ursula von der Leyen sớm đến thăm chúng tôi. Tôi nghĩ Việt Nam là một nhân tố quan trọng cho thương mại quốc tế và cho hợp tác đối tác giữa các nước phát triển như Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và những nền kinh tế mới đang trỗi dậy mạnh mẽ như Việt Nam. Tôi nghĩ là trong thời điểm phần nào xáo trộn như hiện nay, cần phải nhắc lại sự gắn bó vào hệ thống thương mại quốc tế dựa trên khuôn khổ luật pháp rõ ràng, dự đoán được và đa phương, các quy định của Tổ Chức Thương Mại Thế Giới (WTO) cũng như Hiệp định Tự do Thương mại như tôi đề cập ở trên. Điều này rất quan trọng ! Đúng là chuyến thăm của bà Ursula von der Leyen sẽ tượng trưng phần nào cho điểm trên. Ngoài ra, cũng đừng quên rằng Việt Nam là thị trường có 100 triệu dân, đó là đất nước có tiềm năng rất lớn và là một nhân tố chủ đạo cho việc phân bổ lao động quốc tế.Ngoài chuyến thăm của chủ tịch Ủy Ban Châu Âu, chúng tôi cũng mong ủy viên thương mại châu Âu Maroš Šefčovič đến thăm để phát hành "Sách Trắng" mà chúng tôi vẫn soạn thảo hàng năm để trình bày những đề xuất với chính quyền Việt Nam nhằm cải thiện trao đổi và đầu tư giữa Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và Việt Nam. Chúng tôi hy vọng năm nay ông Maroš Šefčovič đứng ra chủ trì buổi lễ này. Có thể thấy là mọi chuyện đang đi vào quy củ với Việt Nam theo chiều hướng năng động được hình thành từ Hiệp định Tự do Thương mại ký vào năm 2019 và phê chuẩn năm 2020 và vẫn đang tiếp tục cho kết quả dù chậm nhưng chắc. Dĩ nhiên cũng phải chú ý đến bối cảnh quốc tế khó khăn hiện nay nhưng tôi tin Liên Hiệp Châu Âu phải tái khẳng định gắn kết với khuôn khổ đa phương dựa trên quy định luật pháp rõ ràng và tin cậy. Bởi vì, đối với các doanh nghiệp châu Âu chúng tôi, ở rất xa châu Âu, điều quan trọng là phải có được khuôn khổ ổn định, rõ ràng, dự đoán được chứ không phải chịu ảnh hưởng từ những sự kiện, những “rối loạn” gây bất ổn. Khi người ta đầu tư, nhất là ở nước ngoài, đó là những khoản tiền khá lớn, cần nhiều năm mới khấu hao được đầu tư, vì thế có được niềm tin như vậy là điều rất quan trọng.RFI Tiếng Việt xin chân thành cảm ơn ông Jean-Jacques Bouflet, phó chủ tịch phụ trách Chính sách tại Hiệp hội Doanh nghiệp Châu Âu tại Việt Nam EuroCham.

Je hersenen zijn in theorie beter en sneller in het verwerken van informatie dan een computer. Toch lijkt dat niet altijd zo. Wat nou als je die twee werelden combineert; je hersenen verbinden met een computer. Dan kom je uit bij een bedrijf als Zander Labs en hun CEO, Jonathan Zwaan, is te gast in Techzine Talks. We praten met hem over de deeptch van BCI, oftewel Brain-Computer Interfaces. Als je de term Brain-Computer Interface hoort, denk je wellicht meteen aan het kunnen bedienen van computers met je brein. Dat is niet wat Zander Labs doet. Het gaat bij het platform dat dit bedrijf ontwikkelt om passieve Brain-Computer Interfaces. Dat houdt in dat er met behulp van EEG-scans van de hersenen een respons op bepaalde gebeurtenissen naar een computer gestuurd wordt. Het doel is om hiermee een reeks basisreacties te definiëren, die voor alle mensen gelden. De computer kan deze dan gebruiken als input voor een specifieke actie.De mogelijkheden van het koppelen van het menselijke brein en computers op deze manier heeft zonder meer veel potentie. Zo kan het een belangrijke rol spelen bij de ontwikkeling van Artificial General Intelligence, om een zijstraat te noemen. Eenvoudig is het echter niet, zo bespreken we in deze aflevering. Ook zitten er kanten aan die wellicht niet meteen wenselijk zijn. Die gaan we zeker niet uit de weg in dit gesprek.Een ding staat wat ons betreft vast, Zander Labs is een Nederlandse start-up die samen met partners weleens een grote impact op de wereld van computers en AI kan gaan hebben. Of dat ook gaat lukken, is vanzelfsprekend afwachten. Luister in ieder geval snel deze nieuwste aflevering van Techzine Talks om op de hoogte te zijn van wat er speelt in de wereld van Brain-Computer Interfaces.Hoofdstukken:00:00:40 - Zander Labs & BCI's02:41 - De Brain-Computer Interface 05:09 - BCI-uitdagingen en commercialisering09:19 - Miniscuul EEG-apparaat14:01 - BCI-toepassingen18:52 - Menselijke annotatie & AI21:01 - Geestelijke toestand & leugendetectie25:29 - EEG-beperkingen & ethiek33:24 - AI-chirurgische robots37:56 - AI van lab tot markt

Electrical monitoring and stimulation could revolutionise diagnosis and treatment for some of the most aggressive brain cancers and intractable neurological diseases.In glioblastoma, a particularly aggressive brain tumour that is hard to treat and almost invariably fatal, the impacts of an effective treatment would be huge.My guest in this episode, Dr Elise Jenkins, is working with a new class of therapeutic brain-computer-interface (BCI) that can measure and disrupt neural signalling within the body. With this technology she and her team are creating breakthroughs in new materials and electronics to develop safe, minimally invasive interfaces to interact with the complex biology of the brain. That will lead to earlier detection of new tumours, and could pave the way for new treatments. Elise shares her journey from aspiring medical doctor to electrical engineer to leading a neurotechnology startup. She discusses the many difficult challenges of engineering tiny bioelectronic devices, and the importance of understanding brain activity in cancer progression for them to be a success.We also touch on regulatory hurdles, funding strategies, and the future potential of the technology in both cancer and non-cancer applications.Elise and her team are looking to create a new approach to healthcare which will change the lives of millions.“We're looking at how to slow down cancer growth.” – Elise JenkinsYou'll hear about:01:06 - Elise Jenkins and OptoBioSystems02:30 - Elise's Journey into Science and Engineering05:42 - Understanding Bioelectronics and Neural Interfaces09:01 - Exploring Glioblastoma and Its Challenges12:18 - Measuring Brain Activity and Cancer Progression16:30 - The Role of Implants in Cancer Treatment19:14 - Engineering Challenges in Medical Devices22:57 - Wireless Power and Data Transmission Innovations25:20 - Regulatory Considerations for Medical Devices28:14 - Future Directions and Broader Applications33:24 - Funding and Company DevelopmentConnect with Elise Jenkins: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/elise-jenkins-/Opto - https://www.opto.bio/Find out about opportunities with Opto - https://www.opto.bio/teamConnect with me:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdavison100/ If you need any lab equipment:Grant Instruments: https://www.grantinstruments.com/ Grant Instruments on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/grant-instruments-cambridge-ltd/

The idea that technology may be able to directly capture and control our thoughts is both fascinating and scary. But this type of technology has been around and is continues to be developed for a variety of applications. In this episode, we speak to Dr. Susan Boehnke about brain computer interfaces and neuromarketing. We dive into the ethical implications of brain-computer interface (BCI) applications—are these technologies enhancing human potential or invading our privacy? We also unpack how the media's portrayal of BCIs often exaggerates their capabilities, contrasting it with their real-world use. Plus, we explore neuromarketing: the fascinating history of how companies use brain data to influence your choices and shape marketing strategies. Don't miss this eye-opening conversation! Susan Boehnke completed a PhD in Neuroscience (2002) at Dalhousie University as a Killam Scholar using psychophysical and neurophysiological approaches to examine spatial processing in the auditory system. She then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in primate visual and oculomotor neurophysiology with Prof. Doug Munoz at Queen's Univ. In collaboration with Profs. Munoz and De Felice (Brazil), she took a lead role in the creation and validation of one of the first non-human primate (NHP) models of Alzheimer's disease using behavioural, neurophysiological, neuroimaging, and molecular approaches. She led development of the first NHP biobank in Canada, and the establishment of normative values of fluid biomarkers of neurodegeneration in macaques. During COVID, her team used the NHP facility at Queen's to explore the effect of social enrichment and isolation on the brain. In response to recent explosion of interest in neurotechnology, such as brain computer interfaces, she has now turned her attention to creating a micro-credential program in neurotechnology (https://neurotechmicrocreds.com/) and exploring ethical issues related to neurotech. She is also the lead of the Training Committee for Connected Minds: Neural and Machine Systems for a Healthy, Just Society, a large Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF) program between York and Queen's Universities. This episode is sponsored by the Connected Minds program. Connected Minds, funded by the Canadian First Research Excellence Fund, is a 7-year collaborative program between York University and Queen's University that focuses on interdisciplinary, ethical, and socially responsible research and technology development.

Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) allow us to connect the brain directly to an external device. By implanting some electrodes in certain regions of the brain, we can record brain activity and connect it to a computer or prosthetic that can then carry out the action that is being decoded based on the neural activity. Cool, huh? But before we get carried away by all the potential these technologies have, its important to discuss what the current state of research truly is and what ethical considerations we may start to face when these implants become more common. In this episode, we discuss current BCI research, its very promising avenues and its ethical challenges.

How can we record brain activity during natural behavior without bulky, restrictive devices? This question has challenged neuroscientists for years, but Saehyuck Oh and Janghwan Jekal from the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) have devised an innovative solution! In this episode of the BCI Award Neurocareers podcast series, we dive into the world of stealthy neural recording with their project, "Behavior to Byte: Stealthy Neural Recorder." The team has developed a fully wireless, battery-free, and implantable neural interface designed for primates, allowing researchers to study brain activity during natural behavior without interrupting the subject. This groundbreaking device combines soft bioelectronics for long-term implantation, enabling it to be safely placed deep within the brain for precise neural recording. Join us as Saehyuck and Janghwan share how their research tackles the challenges of developing implantable devices for primates—devices that must be durable, soft, and operate entirely without batteries. They'll also discuss the potential for this technology to revolutionize neurobehavioral research and offer valuable advice for anyone aspiring to submit a successful project for the BCI Award! Tune in to hear how their stealthy neural recorder is paving the way for more effective brain-behavior studies and changing the future of neural interfaces! About the Podcast Guests: Biography Saehyuck Oh received his B.E. degree in biomedical engineering from Yonsei University in 2019 and a M.S. degree in robotics engineering from Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in 2021. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate under the supervision of Prof. Kyung-In Jang in robotics and mechatronics engineering at DGIST, where research focuses on soft bioelectronics. His work focuses on developing wearable and implantable biomedical devices that can interface with biological systems for biomedical applications. Janghwan Jekal received his B.E. degree in School of Undergraduate Studies from Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in 2019. He is currently doing his Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Prof. Kyung-In Jang from robotics and mechatronics engineering at DGIST. His research focuses on implantable and wearable biomedical devices. Research work Activities such as exercising like riding a bicycle, taking deep breaths, eating, sleeping, experiencing sensations, controlling our weight, expending energy, and performing instinctive actions are all regulated by the brain. Each part of the brain is intricately connected, and the behaviors are the result of these complex processes. Therefore, to truly understand the origins of behavior, it is essential to measure and study brain neural activity. So, which animal model is most appropriate for studying the brain neural activity underlying natural behavior? Among the various experimental subjects, ranging from fish to humans, primates are the most suitable. Primates are genetically and anatomically similar to humans and possess high cognitive behavioral functions sililar to humans. So, what engineering elements are needed in a device to study the primate brain? Firstly, since monkeys can freely use their arms and legs and might can break the device, so it must be completely implanted. This necessitates the device to operate entirely wireless and without batteries, as it is impractical to charge or replace batteries in a monkey. Additionally, for long-term implantation, the neural probe must be soft to match the mechanical properties of living tissues. Since, brain regions associated with natural behaviors are located in the deep brain region, so the neural probe must be inserted into these deep brain regions. Also, the signals measured using these devices must undergo signal processing and artificial intelligence analysis to effectively link brain activity with behavior. To address these requirements, we have developed a wireless, battery-free and fully implantable brain neural interface for primates.

Our Medical Technology expert analyzes the medical potential and market opportunity in technology that allows direct communication between the human brain and an external device.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Kallum Titchmarsh, from Morgan Stanley's U.S. Medical Technology Team. On today's episode – a dive into a topic that sounds like it's straight out of science fiction. Brain Computer Interfaces, or BCIs.It's Tuesday, October 22, at 10 AM in New York.The latest version of Tony Stark – better known as his alter ego Iron Man – is a good example of a brain computer interface. When the billionaire businessman-inventor is critically wounded, he builds an armor suit that gives him superhuman abilities. Flying through air. Clearing out obstacles with repulsor blasts. Shooting enemies with guided missiles. All controlled by his brain. This, of course, is the stuff of science fiction. Real world examples of brain computer interfaces – or BCIs – aren't fantastical. But they are fascinating. Translating thoughts into actions like generating text on a screen or moving a robotic limb.BCIs have been in development for more than a century, but recent advances have brought them much closer to becoming a reality. We expect to see BCIs in commercial medical use in about five years, at which point they can help treat a wide range of health disorders, from motor neuron disease – such as ALS – to depression. The market opportunity for BCIs looks enormous – $400 billion of total addressable market – or TAM – in the US alone. This figure includes two types of BCIs: enabling BCIs, which facilitate behaviors like moving a cursor on a screen, and preventive BCIs, which can prevent adverse events like depressive states or epileptic seizures. We divide the BCI healthcare opportunity into two segments: early TAM and intermediate TAM. The early TAM includes individuals with critical upper limb impairment and select variants of neurological conditions like epilepsy and depression. These patients will likely be the first to receive a BCI. The intermediate TAM includes patients with moderate upper limb impairment and severe lower limb impairment. As BCI technology develops, these patients will eventually become eligible for treatment. There are at least 2.8 million patients in the US forming the early TAM and an additional 6.8 million within the intermediate TAM. Together, these groups represent the $400 billion of potential revenue I already mentioned based on a single implant procedure. The opportunity may be significantly larger when factoring for potential replacement cycles and recurring revenues from software upgrades. But while the estimated TAM is indeed vast, we think penetration will remain limited through the first 20 years of launch. By 2035, we expect just under $1.5 billion of revenue to be generated from BCI implant procedures, hitting north of a $500 million annual run rate in 2036, and reaching the $1 billion annual run rate by 2041. It's exciting to think BCIs will begin their healthcare application in the coming years, but we anticipate a number of regulatory hurdles on the way to widespread adoption in healthcare and beyond. Will BCIs push into fields like neurogaming, warfare, and even biological optimization of humans? The potential is certainly there, and with it the burden of the safe and responsible use of this cutting-edge technology. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

We've been trying to get Dr. Morgan from the University of New Haven on the podcast for a long time but he's a busy man. When he's not lecturing, he's regularly testifying in court or filming one of his numerous tv appearances. Dr. Morgan worked for the CIA, he's an expert on brain-computer interfaces (BCI), he's an expert on PTSD, an expert on personality disorders, an expert on human memory, an expert on psychopathy, and he's a forensic psychiatrist! Dr Morgan is often featured in programs on ID (Investigation Discovery) and has been featured on ID and MAX's series Signs of a Psychopath for several seasons. This is an interview Slim has been wanting to do for more than year, so when Dr Morgan finally had some time to talk, Slim raced to the studio and got things started while Lazlo headed in. We had so many questions for Dr. Morgan; Why does Slim cry at Ozempic girls while you're lucky to get a tear from Lazlo at a funeral? Is there a difference between a Sociopath and a Psychopath? Can psychopaths make good friends? Is my ex really a narcissist? Is human memory ever reliable? Most importantly, when is ID going to give you your own show? Slim is willing to start the letter writing campaign if need be. Check out Dr. Morgan's cred sheet!

On August 24, 1949, work crews and bulldozers cleared out a neighborhood just outside of Eugene known as Ferry Street Village. The Lane County Board of Commissioners had voted to demolish the neighborhood just a month before, and some residents who hadn't gotten the news ran from their homes with as much as they could carry. The neighborhood was one of the only places near Eugene where Black people could settle. The Black Cultural Initiative is working with other groups to raise money for a monument to the neighborhood and the families that lived there. Talicia Brown-Crowell, the founder of BCI, joins us to talk about why it is important to preserve the history of this neighborhood.
