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.
In this episode, Davide Valeriani and Theresa Vaughan summarize the main areas in which they foresee neural interfaces will play a pivotal role in the next decades, affecting what we do in our daily lives.

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.

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.
