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. This device is investigational and is currently in clinical trials approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Sam Altman is preparing to co-found a new company funded by OpenAI that will go up against Elon Musk's Neuralink, The Financial Post reported. The startup, called Merge Labs, will use AI for its brain-computer interface and compete directly with Neuralink, along with other nascent companies in the field like Precision Neuroscience and Synchron. In other news, Apple is still hard at work on becoming a relevant player in AI. The latest missive from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg suggests that Apple is shifting its artificial intelligence goals to center on new device segments. Sources reportedly told the publication that Apple has a slate of new smart home products in the works that could help pivot its lagging AI strategy; and Amazon is expanding its same-day grocery delivery service with the addition of perishable food items in over 1,000 US cities. Shoppers can now add fresh grocery items like produce, dairy, meat, seafood and frozen foods to their orders. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Entscheidungen: Das Metronom unseres (Arbeits-)Alltags und oft eine echte Challenge.Schnell kommt im Team das Gefühl auf: "Nicht schon wieder endlose Diskussionen!" Oder: "Warum dauert das immer ewig?". In dieser Episode nähern wir uns der Entscheidungsfindung von allen Seiten – mit Anekdoten aus unserem Berufsleben, strukturierten Frameworks und konkreten Alltagstipps, die dich und dein Team weiterbringen.Du erfährst: Was unterscheidet eine Typ-1-Entscheidung von einer Typ-2-Entscheidung und warum hilft dieses Framework, endlich etwas auf die Straße zu bringen? Wir sprechen über Jeff Bezos, die RACI-Matrix, Runbooks und Standard Operating Procedures aus dem Operations-Bereich und Feuerwehr-Einsätzen und warum schnelle, aber gut dokumentierte Beschlüsse im Engineering Gold wert sind.Natürlich diskutieren wir auch Dinge wie: Sind synchrone Meetings wirklich der Heilige Gral oder kann Remote-Arbeit sogar für bessere, inklusivere Entscheidungen sorgen? Wie sollten Entscheidungen dokumentiert werden? Warum verlaufen Entscheidungsprozesse oft zäh, selbst wenn es "nur" um das Mittagsessen geht?Bonus: Ob 100% Zustimmung bei Entscheidungen überhaupt realistisch oder bloß ein Meeting-Mythos ist.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Für die aktuelle Diggytalkfolge haben wir David Nathan zu Gast. Ihr kennt ihn alle als Stimme von Christian Bale „Batman“ aus der „The Dark Knight Trilogie“ von Christopher Nolan.Darüber hinaus spricht er Johnny Depp (seit „Don Juan DeMarco“) in diversen Verfilmungen und war bis 2015 mit der Synchronisation von Paul Walker betraut. Wo liegen hier wohl die Feinheiten bei der Synchro der einzelnen Schauspieler. Hierzu fachsimpeln wir ein wenig. Des Weiteren ist er auch im Animebereich aktiv. So spricht er hier z.B. Yami Bakura in „Yu-Gi-Oh“.Während der Synchronaufnahmen zu „The Dark Knight“ saß David Nathan sogar mit Brustpanzer und integriertem Mikro im Studio, damit die Stimme möglichst mächtig wirkt – eben „Batman – Getreu“. Apropos Dark Knight…. David arbeitet auch viel mit Simon Jäger zusammen (Stimme vom Joker). An dieser Stelle gehen wir auch auf die beliebten Prima Vista Lesungen der beiden ein. Schwenken wir an dieser Stelle kurz zu Oliver Rohrbeck und der Lauscherlounge. Welche Anekdoten kann uns David hier wohl zur Zusammenarbeit erzählen?Persönlich durften wir David Nathan bei verschiedenen Lesungen live erleben. Zum Beispiel beim Elbenwald Festival, wo er Werke von Stephen King zum Besten gegeben hat oder auch in Lüneburg zu einem Werk von Haruki Murakami. Auch dieses Thema wird angesprochen.Darüber hinaus kommt David aus einer Theaterfamilie. Wie waren also seine ersten Schritte im Synchron und allgemein sein Werdegang? Welche Leute haben ihn bei seiner Arbeit wohl inspiriert? Seid gespannt und hört gut zu!

腦機介面的發展日漸蓬勃，技術也日益成熟，越來越多公司都投入這個領域，包括大家熟知的 Elon Musk 的 Neuralink 和今年初剛通過 FDA 審核的 Precision Neuroscience 等。其中發展最迅速、臨床試驗走在最前面的公司，就是今天要介紹的 Synchron。 這集我們邀請到在 Synchron 擔任 Principal System Engineer 的張耀銓博士，來分享目前腦機介面領域的進展，介紹目前不同公司的專長和發展方向、目前臨床試驗的進度、腦機介面的挑戰、Synchron 產品的特色和優勢，以及人工智慧如何增進腦機介面的加密解密速度。最後也和我們聊到他在 Synchron 的工作內容。 這一集我們會集中在介紹腦機介面的進展和 Synchron 的產品特色。更多張耀銓博士的職涯歷程和轉職經歷，我們會放在下一集和大家分享，敬請期待。  

We're diving deep into a bold new frontier at the intersection of brain-computer interfaces and consumer tech. Seriously. Joining us is Kurt Haggstrom, Chief Commercial Officer at Synchron, the pioneering company behind the FDA-authorized Stentrode—a brain-computer interface that's redefining accessibility. With Apple now collaborating with Synchron, what does this mean for the future of human-device interaction? Why did Apple choose Synchron over competitors like Neuralink? And how close are we to everyday mind-controlled tech? We'll explore the science, ethics, risks, and revolutionary potential of this partnership—from restoring communication for people with paralysis to the deeper implications for data privacy, policy, and the future of the human mind.  Join us as we get rebelliously curious.

Synchron zu sein, bedeutet Gleichzeitigkeit und Parallelität. Aber auch der Mensch sollte mit sich selbst synchron sein.

In der aktuellen Diggytalkfolge haben wir Siegfried Tesche zu Gast. Er ist als Buchautor und Journalist besonders für seine Werke rund um James Bond bekannt. Doch wie begann seine Leidenschaft? Er hat 1969 seinen ersten Bond-Film gesehen und Ian Flemings Literatur studiert und sich schon damals mit Fragen beschäftigt: Wie was ist das MI6 oder was bedeutet das Kürzel „KGB“?Siegfried Tesche erzählt uns auch was sein erster Bond-Film war und taucht mit uns ein in eine Welt von Sean Connery über Pierce Brosnan bis hin zu Daniel Craig. Wo liegen die stärken der einzelnen Darsteller und was zeichnet ihre schauspielerische Leistung aus? Diese Folge ist ein Muss für echte Cineasten.Apropos Reise durch die Bond-Welt…. Es gab hier einige spektakuläre Drehorte in der Bond-Reihe. Auf einige gehen wir während des Gesprächs auch ein. Sonst ist das alles auch im „007 – Der James Bond Atlas“ nachzulesen.Des Weiteren gehen wir auf die Recherche zu Herrn Tesches Werken ein. Er hat neben den Werken über James Bond, noch die Bücher „Motorlegenden James Dean“, „Fast, Fierce & Furious“ Die Film-Autos von Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodríguez & Co.“ und „Motorlegenden – Movie Cars“ geschrieben.Bildcopyright: Franz FenderWir wünschen gute Unterhaltung.E-Mail: kontakt@diggytalk.de Besucht uns auf www.diggytalk.de für weitere Informationen zum Podcast und regelmäßigem Content aus den Bereichen Hörspiel, Synchron und Film.Hier findet ihr das Diggytalk-Impressum:https://www.diggytalk.de/impressum.html Copyright 2025 DiggytalkDiggytalk ist eine eingetragene Marke von Dominik Grote Hosted on Acast.
