Podcasts about interfaces

I am going to be honest right from the start. This is a rant. A friendly one. But still a rant. I'm a geek at heart. I love shiny tools, clever plugins, little bits of tech that make my marketing life easier. But lately it feels like some of my favorites have decided to test me. Really test me. It started with my email marketing platform quietly turning off a third-party API I relied on. Their decision, fine. But maybe a heads up would have been nice. Instead, I spent four months wondering why new subscribers were suspiciously quiet. Turns out, the connection was dead. And I only discovered it while building a completely unrelated page on my website. When I reached out to support, they casually mentioned they don't use that interface anymore. Terrific. Then my chatbot decided to hallucinate. I asked it to summarize an interview and create a teaser. Simple request. Except it thanked a guest who wasn't even in the conversation. Not even close. I have no idea where it found that name. Apparently, creativity is a little too free these days. And just when I thought I had hit my quota for weird tech behavior, the tool I use to make reels took a detour. This is the tool I trust to pull clean little snippets and generate accurate captions. Instead, it rewrote my perfectly articulate guest into something that sounded like bro speak. She deserved better. I deserved better. The whole episode deserved better. So yes, this is a rant. But it is also a reminder. No matter how good a tool is, no matter how long you have trusted it, you still need to double check. Tools change without warning. Interfaces break. Technology goes off the rails. And if you are not paying attention, your marketing can end up in a ditch you did not see coming. Takeaways Check your tools regularly. Even the ones you think are rock solid. A quick test can save months of missing data or embarrassing surprises. • Never hand over your voice completely. AI is helpful, but it is not infallible. Review everything before it goes into the world with your name on it. Because in marketing, the only thing worse than tech that fails is not noticing it failed. More than a Few Words - Marketing Conversation  A bite-sized marketing podcast that cuts through the noise and delivers actionable ideas, with no fluff and no jargon.

Ergonomie beginnt nicht beim Stuhl, sondern bei der Frage: Für wen gestalten wir eigentlich?  Ergonomie ist kein Feature, das man nachträglich einbaut. Es ist eine Haltung: Software soll sich an Menschen anpassen, nicht umgekehrt. Wir alle sehen unterschiedlich gut, haben unterschiedliche Vorlieben und verschiedene Situationen, in denen wir arbeiten. Und doch wird oft vergessen, dass genau diese Vielfalt Teil guter Gestaltung sein sollte. Wir sprechen über einen simplen, aber wirkungsvollen Ansatz: relative Größen statt absoluter Pixel. Wie eine einzige Referenzgröße es ermöglicht, dass jeder Nutzer das gesamte Interface größer oder kleiner stellen kann ohne, dass etwas kaputtgeht. Warum Accessibility-Features von Betriebssystemen oft scheitern und wie man es besser macht. Und weshalb dieser Ansatz technisch fast null Mehraufwand bedeutet, wenn man ihn von Anfang an mitdenkt. Mehr Komfort, mehr Kontrolle und Interfaces, die sich anpassen, wünschen … Alex & Chris von https://wahnsinn.design Das ist Besser mit Design, ein Wahnsinn Design PodcastVielen Dank fürs Zuhören

In Folge 4 von AI in Finance geben Sascha und Maik mal wieder ein News-Update. Kein Gast, dafür ein dichter Überblick über Marktbewegungen, neue Interfaces, Sicherheitsfragen und Regulierung. Der rote Faden: KI verschiebt sich vom Experimentierfeld zum strategischen Fundament. Technologisch, wirtschaftlich und politisch.

Dritte Folge zur CES 2026! Wenn Du die ersten beiden Episoden noch nicht gehört hast, starte am besten dort, diese Folge baut darauf auf. Diesmal verlassen wir die Automotive-Hallen und schauen auf die Technologien, die unseren Alltag jenseits des Autos verändern werden. In dieser Episode geht es um sechs zentrale Trends: - Die „Rache des Analogen“ – warum physische Interaktion plötzlich wieder Menschen anzieht - Die Verschmelzung von Robotik und Künstlicher Intelligenz - Smart Glasses als neue, leise Interface-Schicht - Haushaltsgeräte als Computing-Hubs im Smart Home - Exoskelette als echte menschliche Augmentation - Physical AI – wenn KI beginnt, in der realen Welt zu handeln Eine der überraschendsten Beobachtungen: Die längsten Warteschlangen bildeten sich nicht vor den spektakulärsten Displays, sondern vor Flipperautomaten, Schachbrettern und physischer Interaktion. In einer Welt voller Screens wächst die Sehnsucht nach Haptik, Greifbarkeit und unmittelbarem Feedback. Die Zukunft ist nicht digital oder analog, sie ist digital-intelligent mit analogen, menschlichen Interfaces. Gleichzeitig wurde klar: Der größte Technologie-Trend der CES ist die Konvergenz von Robotik und KI. Maschinen werden zu verkörperter Intelligenz, Systeme, die nicht nur entscheiden, sondern handeln. Von Smart Glasses über Haushaltsgeräte bis hin zu Exoskeletten zeigt sich ein gemeinsames Muster: Technologie wird körperlicher, leiser und stärker auf den Menschen ausgerichtet. Diese Episode verbindet alle Beobachtungen zu einem großen Bild: Wir bewegen uns von reiner Digitalisierung hin zu Physical AI, intelligenter Technologie, die in unserer realen Welt wahrnimmt, entscheidet und handelt.

Diese Folge wird u.a. unterstützt vom OMT Summit. Jetzt mitmachen und ein Premium-Ticket im Wert von 499 Euro gewinnen: https://www.omt.de/seopresso-gewinnspiel/In dieser Aufzeichnung von der SEOKOMM 2025 spricht Björn Darko mit David Konitzny (Kosch-Klink Performance) über KI-Workflows, Automatisierung im SEO und Content-Marketing. David erklärt, wie Teams mithilfe von KI-APIs und No-Code/Low-Code-Setups repetitive Aufgaben (vor allem datengetriebene SEO-Arbeit) deutlich beschleunigen – ohne dass jede:r “klassisch programmieren” können muss.Kern der Episode: Automatisierung ist ein Effizienz-Hebel, aber sie ersetzt nicht die Expert:innen-Entscheidung. Besonders wichtig sind saubere Prozessvisualisierung, Dokumentation, modulare Prompt-/Workflow-Bausteine, sowie Interfaces, die auch neue Teammitglieder sofort nutzen können. Beim Content gilt: KI kann Drafts und Vorarbeit liefern (David nennt ~40% Automatisierung), aber Storyline, Tonalität, Emotion und Conversion-Denken bleiben (noch) klar menschliche Aufgaben.TakeawaysAutomatisiere Klick-Arbeit: Alles, was du täglich wiederholst, Daten zieht und zusammenführt, ist ein Top-Kandidat. Entscheidungen bleiben menschlich: Tools können 500 Redirects auswerfen – aber ob sie “falsch” sind, entscheidet Kontext & Erfahrung. Prozessvisualisierung ist der harte, aber wichtigste Schritt: Ohne jeden einzelnen Schritt zu dokumentieren, wird Automatisierung schnell “Chaos mit Output”. Baue modulare Bausteine: Pro Aufgabe ein Prompt/Modul – nicht alles in einen Monster-Prompt stopfen. Gutes Interface > “geiler Code”: Damit Tools skalieren, müssen Menschen sie bedienen können, ohne den Unterbau zu verstehen. Brand Voice braucht Dokumentation: Tonalität, Formate, Einsatzkontexte (Social vs. Plattform vs. Kampagne) müssen sauber beschrieben sein. Content: Draft automatisieren, Qualität menschlich: KI hilft gegen das “weiße Blatt”, aber Emotion/Story/Formatwahl bleibt Handwerk. Rankings ≠ Erfolg: KI-Content kann Sichtbarkeit bringen – ob er konvertiert, hängt stark am menschlichen Feinschliff & den richtigen Brand-Daten. Startpunkt: Recherche & Datenauswertung (z. B. GSC/GA-Insights, SERP-Vergleiche, Clusterbildung). Warnung für Teams: Erst Grundlagen “manuell” lernen – sonst verlierst du langfristig die Fähigkeit, Systeme zu beurteilen, wenn sie falsch laufen.Kapitelmarken (Spotify Chapters)00:00:00 – Sponsor/Intro: OMT Summit & Gewinnspiel00:01:15 – Begrüßung & Kontext: Live von der SEO 202500:02:33 – David: Werdegang & “Rising Star” im SEO/AI-Thema00:06:50 – Warum KI-Automatisierung jetzt wie “Navi statt Landkarte” ist00:08:10 – Content & Menschlichkeit: Was KI (noch) nicht kann00:09:05 – Job-Angst vs. Realität: Effizienz als Wettbewerbsvorteil00:12:20 – Automatisierbar vs. nicht automatisierbar: Davids Checkliste00:15:30 – Prozessvisualisierung & Dokumentation: der wichtigste Engpass00:17:05 – Tool-Adoption im Team: Interface, Feedback, “Loading-Signale”00:19:20 – Prompt-Bibliotheken & Brand Voice: modular bauen, sauber dokumentieren00:27:05 – Der End-to-End Workflow: Cluster → SERPs → Outline → Links → Publishing00:35:50 – Breakpoints für Menschen: Outline/Storyline/Formatwahl & Qualitätssicherung00:42:30 – KI-Content: Rankings vs. Conversion (was ist “besser”?)00:44:05 – Wo anfangen?

Barres de réseau trompeuses, logos 4G/5G, GPS qui « marche » dans le métro, CAPTCHA et animations de chargement : on décortique ces illusions d'interface qui orientent notre perception sans mesurer ce que l'on croit. Au fil de l'épisode, on explique ce que ces indicateurs affichent réellement (puissance du signal, compatibilité radio) et pourquoi, entre capacité d'antenne, interférences et priorisations opérateur, vous pouvez avoir plein de barres mais aucun débit. Ces compromis d'ingénierie, loin d'être des arnaques, révèlent la façon dont la tech rend ses systèmes utilisables tout en masquant leur complexité.Sources Vidéos recommandéesEn plateau Michaël de Marliave — animateur Matthieu Lambda — chroniqueur Arthur Della Faille — invité➤ Pour découvrir Mammouth IA : https://mammouth.ai/➤ Pour le Merch Micode et Underscore_ : https://traphic.fr/collections/micode⚠️ Précommandes avant le 15 Janvier !

AI is moving from chat to action.In this episode of Big Ideas 2026, we unpack three shifts shaping what comes next for AI products. The change is not just smarter models, but software itself taking on a new form.You will hear from Marc Andrusko on the move from prompting to execution, Stephanie Zhang on building machine-legible systems, and Sarah Wang on agent layers that turn intent into outcomes.Together, these ideas tell a single story. Interfaces shift from chat to action, design shifts from human-first to agent-readable, and work shifts to agentic execution. AI stops being something you ask, and becomes something that does. Resources:Follow Marc Andrusko on X: https://x.com/mandrusko1Follow Stephanie Zhang on X: https://x.com/steph_zhang  Follow Sarah Wang on X: https://x.com/sarahdingwangRead more all of our 2026 Big IdeasPart 1: https://a16z.com/newsletter/big-ideas-2026-part-1Part 2: https://a16z.com/newsletter/big-ideas-2026-part-2/Part 3: https://a16z.com/newsletter/big-ideas-2026-part-3/ Stay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

There is a quiet pattern emerging across the digital entertainment landscape. As platforms grow faster and technologies more complex, the games that consistently gain traction are not always the most innovative on paper. Instead, they are often those which bring with them a sense of familiarity. Formats which have been understood from previous digital eras are being remade for the present screen, and they are being received with excitement. But this nostalgia is not an end in itself. It is a good deal more utilitarian and human. The viewing public is bombarded with options these days. A new application, a new mechanic, a new platform pops up every day. And under these circumstances, familiarity is a kind of relief. They need less instruction when a game looks familiar because they know how to interact with it. The technology which drives these new rethinkings is undoubtedly complex. The cloud, responsiveness, and personalisation all have a role. Often, however, it is in the front end where the appeal lies. The interfaces are a function of previous learning. The rules are intuitive. Progress is evident. The learning curve is low, which is important in a space where attention is money. I noted this phenomenon in my investigations into the usage of digital games among different age segments. Young players will try different things, but older players will prefer formats they are used to. That is why traditional mechanics keep being revisited, in puzzle games, mobile versions, and combinations such as slingo which combines very traditional elements into a digital format without depriving it of those elements which were present in the original game to make it interesting in the first place. Familiarity as a Design Advantage Designers increasingly understand that recognition reduces friction. When users feel comfortable, they stay longer. They explore more. They return. This principle has shaped everything from smartphone interfaces to streaming platforms. Gaming is simply following the same path. Classic game formats carry an unspoken rulebook. People know what success looks like. They understand the rhythm. There is satisfaction in anticipation rather than confusion. Modern game design now often builds around this psychological shortcut rather than fighting against it. What has changed is how these formats are delivered. Old games were static. Digital versions are adaptive. They respond to user behaviour, adjust difficulty and reward engagement more precisely. The structure remains familiar, but the experience feels alive. Why Reinvention Beats Reinvention for Its Own Sake For years, the technology sector prized disruption above all else. New was always better. But the digital audience has matured. People no longer chase novelty endlessly. They seek experiences that fit naturally into their routines. Rebuilding known formats allows developers to innovate where it matters most. Performance improves. Visual design sharpens. Accessibility expands. Meanwhile, users are spared the frustration of relearning the basics every time they open an app. This approach mirrors broader tech trends. Software tools increasingly mimic real-world behaviours. Interfaces become conversational. Systems anticipate rather than instruct. Gaming follows suit by meeting users where they already are. The Role of Memory in Digital Engagement Memory plays a subtle but powerful role in digital interaction. Recognised patterns activate confidence. Users feel competent quickly. That sense of capability encourages continued use. When games reference earlier formats, they tap into shared cultural memory. People are not starting from zero. They are continuing a relationship that began years earlier, sometimes decades. That continuity builds trust, which is difficult to manufacture through novelty alone. This is particularly relevant in mobile gaming, where sessions are short and distractions constant. A familiar framework allows instant engagement without cognitive...

Ryo Lu spent years watching his designs die in meetings. Then he discovered the tool that lets designers ship code at the speed of thought: Cursor, the company where Ryo is now Head of Design. In this episode, a16z General Partner Jennifer Li sits down with Ryo to discuss why "taste" is the wrong framework for understanding the future, why purposeful apps are "selfish," how System 7 holds secrets about AI interfaces, and the radical bet that one codebase can serve everyone if you design the concepts right instead of the buttons. Timecodes:00:01:45 - Design Becomes Approachable to Everyone00:02:36 - From Years to Minutes: Product Feedback Loops Collapse00:07:54 - "Each role used their own tool...their own lingo"00:13:15 - "If you don't have an opinion, you'll get AI slop"00:17:18 - The Lost Art of Being a Complete Builder00:21:42 - Design Is Not About Aesthetics00:28:57 - User-Centric vs System-Centric Philosophy00:34:00 - AI as Universal Interface, Not Chat Box00:38:42 - "Simplicity is the Biggest Constraint"00:43:42 - "I Don't Sit in Figma All Day Making Mocks"00:46:33 - RyoOS: Building A Personal Operating System00:48:45 - "We've been doing the same thing since 1984" Resources:Follow Ryo Lu on X: https://x.com/ryolu_Follow Jennifer Li on X: https://x.com/JenniferHliFollow Erik Torenberg on X: https://x.com/eriktorenberg Stay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!  Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Le départ de la semaine, c'est celui d'Alan Dye, vice-président en charge du design et des interfaces dont... Liquid Glass. Dans la foulée, nous avons appris deux autres départs dans le cercle rapproché de Tim Cook.... où personne n'est (heureusement) irremplaçable. Mais quand Mark Gurman évoque un départ de Johny Srouji, Senior vice-président chargé de la technologie matérielle et notamment... des processeurs Apple : là, on ne plaisante plus. Finalement, juste avant notre enregistrement, Johny Srouji aurait rassuré son équipe en interne... mais notre inquiétude à court et moyen terme demeure. Nous avons donc appelé Frédéric Crassat à la rescousse pour y voir clair. Clair, son sentiment l'est, justement. Et il va nous dire quel avenir il voit pour Johny Srouji... chez Apple ou ailleurs (Intel ?).L'info de la semaine, c'est une drôle de croisade lancée par Apple contre... Google Chrome. Apple n'y va pas par quatre chemins et recommande vivement de désinstaller le navigateur de Google sur iPhone. Pourquoi ? Et pourquoi cette communication négative alors que, parallèlement, Apple et Google collaborent sur plusieurs sujets ?

What happens when technology starts to read your mind — or even predict your thoughts before you have them? In this episode, we dive deep into the rapidly evolving frontier of brain–computer interfaces, or BCIs — a technology once confined to science fiction that's now redefining what it means to be human.  Joining me today is Florian Solzbacher, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of Blackrock Neurotech, one of the world's leading companies in neural interface technology. We'll explore everything from invasive vs. non-invasive BCIs, privacy and "mind data," policy gaps, and the risks of unconscious influence, to the global implications of brain–computer interfaces — including China's growing leadership in the field and past and future funding from government agencies like DARPA.

SOLID: Single-Responsibility, Open-Closed, Liskovsche Substitution, Interface-Segregation und Dependency-InversionSOLID klingt nach Fels in der Brandung, fühlt sich in der Praxis aber oft nach Abstraktionspyramide an. Brauchen wir die fünf Prinzipien heute noch oder bremsen sie uns beim Time-to-Market aus? In dieser Episode gehen wir genau dieser Frage nach und nehmen dich mit von der nicht ganz offiziellen SOLID-Entstehungsgeschichte über die wichtigsten Prinzipien bis hin zur ehrlichen Einordnung zwischen Clean Code, Teamrealität und AI-Overengineering.Wir starten mit dem S wie Single Responsibility und zerlegen den klassischen UserService: Was gehört rein, was raus, warum Utils-„Mülleimer“ gefährlich sind und wieso Komposition in der Praxis oft die bessere Wahl ist. Danach das O wie Open-Closed mit zwei greifbaren Beispielen: Rabattlogik ohne if-Hölle und Zahlungsanbieter-Design zwischen Switch Case und Strategie. Beim L wie Liskov Substitution wird es historisch und konkret: Barbara Liskov, Turing Award, Rechteck–Quadrat und die Frage, warum protected so oft Kapselung sprengt. Beim I wie Interface Segregation feiern wir kleine, fokussierte Interfaces, Duck Typing und die Go-Philosophie. Und beim D wie Dependency Inversion klären wir den Unterschied zu Dependency Injection, zeigen Injection-Varianten und warum Tests dadurch so viel leichter werden.Wir ordnen ein, wo SOLID glänzt und wo es Grenzen hat: Overengineering durch zu viele Klassen, DI-Container-Magic, ORMs, Microservices als Fehlinterpretation von SRP sowie der gesunde Trade-off zwischen sauberen Contracts und schneller Lieferung. Dazu Teamkultur statt Dogmatismus, Clean Code ohne Religion und die Erkenntnis, dass gute Architektur vor allem durch Datenflüsse, Domain-Zuschnitte und klare Systemgrenzen entsteht.Am Ende bleibt ein pragmatisches Playbook: Komposition über Vererbung, kleine Interfaces, klare Contracts, Injection wo es hilft und bewusstes Brechen von Regeln, wenn der Kontext es fordert.Bonus: Side Project-Idee aus der Community-Ecke.

Our latest episode explores the moment AI stops being a tool and starts becoming an organizational model. Agentic systems are already redefining how work, design, and decision‑making happen, forcing leaders to abandon deterministic logic for probabilistic, adaptive systems.“Agentic systems force a mindshift—from scripts and taxonomies to semantics, intent, and action.”

These integrated systems enable seamless interaction between operators and complex machinery, offering robust protection for sensitive electronics and user-friendly access to real-time data. In this episode of Control Intelligence, written by contributing editor Charles Palmer, editor in chief Mike Bacidore talks about the relationship between enclosures and HMIs.

Marty talks about a new enterprise study that will use the AVP as a means for collecting EEG waves from people with neurological disorders, allowing them to communicate through the device.    “This Startup Wants to Put Its Brain-Computer Interface in the Apple Vision Pro” – Wiredhttps://www.wired.com/story/this-startup-wants-to-put-its-brain-computer-interface-in-the-apple-vision-pro/Key Points1. Who Cognixion is- A California-based startup focused on non-invasive BCIs (EEG-based), avoiding surgical implants.- Its mission is to enable communication for people with ALS, paralysis, and other conditions that limit speech.- Previously built the dedicated Axon-R headset, tested with ALS patients.2. Vision Pro Integration- Cognixion is preparing a clinical trial with ~10 participants using a Vision Pro modified with their custom EEG headband.- The system detects visual fixation and attention patterns so users can select items on-screen by focusing on them.- A neural-computing pack worn at the hip processes the brain-signal data.3. Role of AI- Cognixion uses per-user generative-AI models trained on the user's prior communication to predict words or phrases.- In Axon-R trials, participants reached near-conversational communication speeds during multi-hour weekly sessions.4. Opportunities & ChallengesAdvantages:- Non-invasive → less risk, potentially faster adoption.- Leverages a mainstream headset (Vision Pro) and its spatial-computing ecosystem.- AI support can help overcome the low signal resolution of non-invasive EEG.Challenges:- EEG remains less precise than implanted BCIs, so decoding speed and reliability must improve.- The hardware still involves extra components (headband, hip pack) and must be ergonomic and socially acceptable.- Regulatory hurdles: moving from small clinical trial to FDA-approved assistive-tech product.We'll revisit this topic in an upcoming Vision ProFiles episode with more expert insights and discussion.Remember to follow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST, or catch the recording later on YouTube, or subscribe to the audio version on your favorite podcast platform.Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comWebsite: ThePodTalk.NetYouTube: YouTube.com/@VisionProFiles

Aug 27, 2025 – Step inside a world where AI builds worlds, rewrites language, and merges minds—today, not decades from now. In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Alan D. Thompson, renowned AI analyst, breaks down the race toward...

Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, aim to enable people to control various adaptive devices directly with their thoughts. There are many BCI devices currently in various stages of development, with the potential to help people with ALS and similar conditions across many different activities of daily life. One particular area in which BCI devices may be able to support people with advanced ALS symptoms is communication. Many people with ALS rely on devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops to write or speak. All tools like these, collectively known as augmentative and alternative communication or AAC devices, need some kind of input to work. This could mean using a keyboard, a touchscreen, or, for people with advanced paralysis, an eye-gaze device. As ALS progresses, however, even eye gaze devices may become difficult for some people to use. BCIs—by allowing people to control AAC devices with their minds—could be a potential solution to this problem. Today, on Endpoints, we’re joined by two experts to discuss BCI technology and, in particular, its potential to help people with ALS continue to communicate. The views expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not represent official endorsements by any organization. Kate Nilsen currently serves as an advisor to Synchron, a company developing a brain-computer interface (BCI) device.

It's wizardry. It's sorcery. Nobody gets it.” “We actually can use text and code to affect the world around us.” “Computing should almost be this humanistic liberal art—it should connect to language and philosophy and art.” “Code is not a substance, but it operates in the world.” “Computers are weird everything machines.” “We're shielded from the vast complexity of computing—until something goes wrong.” “People used to build computers in their garages. Now we can't even open them.” “Unix is like the Epic of Gilgamesh of computing—it's been around for decades and it's still foundational.” “AI is powerful, but it's part of a much longer conversation around tools for thought.” “Biology is a wildly different computer than anything we would ever use to compute with.” “Science fiction doesn't always predict well, but it gives us worlds we can aim toward.” “I want more weird, playful experimentation in computing—something beyond the chat interface.” “Computing history is so young that many of the pioneers are still around to email.” “Ultimately, all these tools were developed for people. They're meant to be in service of humans.”

This week's special episode—produced in partnership with Institute for Neuroscience, Neurotechnology, and Society at Georgia Tech – features two powerful stories from individuals whose lives have been shaped by brain-computer interfaces.Part 1: As his Parkinson's symptoms worsen and medications take a toll, Brandan Mehaffie faces a life-altering decision: continue down a difficult path or undergo brain surgery to implant an electrode to stimulate deep areas of his brain.Part 2: After an accident leaves Ian Burkhart with complete tetraplegia, he grapples with losing his independence — until he's offered a chance to participate in a groundbreaking clinical trial using muscle stimulation controlled by a brain implant to help restore movement.Brandan Mehaffie: Graduate University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy. Retired Director of Pharmacy Asset Protection Rite Aid Pharmacy. Married 25 years to wife Kelly and have two adult daughters Mae and Riley. Diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2016 and recipient of deep brain stimulation surgery in 2022. I am a huge sports buff and gym rat. I enjoy spending time with and cooking for family and friends.Ian is a C5 complete tetraplegic from a diving accident in 2010. He is the founder and president of the BCI Pioneers Coalition and the North American Spinal Cord Injury Consortium President. After participating in a few clinical trials, he understood the need for engagement of individuals with lived experience from the start. Ian was the first person in the world to restore movement to a paralyzed limb using a BCI neuroprosthetic. He is also the Executive Director of the Ian Burkhart Foundation, which raises funds for medical equipment for other individuals living with paralysis. His research focuses on amplifying the lived experience of people with disabilities.

It is the fodder of science fiction plots: implanting a device into the human brain... the blockbuster franchise “The Matrix” comes to mind. Here in the real world, though, it's actually happening. While tiny computers have been implanted into less than 100 brains so far, their impact has been life-changing. Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, have done everything from allowing increased mobility to helping with speech. Could these devices become more mainstream and help the disabled do even more in the future? Dr. Iahn Cajigas, a neurosurgeon at the University of Pennsylvania who has studied brain-computer interfaces and worked with patients using them, joins USA TODAY's The Excerpt to share his insights.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.Episode Transcript available hereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of “Marketplace Tech,” host Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Christopher Mims, a tech journalist at The Wall Street Journal, about the recent evolution of brain computer interfaces — technology that has enabled people with paralysis to move prosthetic limbs or type out communication using computer implants in their brains — and the neurotech startups trying to bring their implants to a larger market by making them less invasive.

Theodore Schwartz stands at the pinnacle of neurosurgical expertise. With over 500 published articles, 200 pieces of commentary, and 5 patents to his name—effectively producing a scholarly work every two weeks for three decades—Schwartz has spent most of his career at Weill Cornell Medicine, where he pioneered new minimally-invasive surgical techniques and led the Epilepsy Research Laboratory, among many (many) other things. His recent book Gray Matters: A Biography of Brain Surgery offers readers an insider's view of one of medicine's most demanding specialties. Tyler and Ted discuss how the training for a neurosurgeon could be shortened, the institutional factors preventing AI from helping more in neurosurgery, how to pick a good neurosurgeon, the physical and mental demands of the job, why so few women are currently in the field, whether the brain presents the ultimate bottleneck to radical life extension, why he thinks free will is an illusion, the success of deep brain stimulation as a treatment for neurological conditions,  the promise of brain-computer interfaces, what studying epilepsy taught him about human behavior, the biggest bottleneck limiting progress in brain surgery, why he thinks Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, the Ted Schwartz production function, the new company he's starting, and much more.

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.
