The only class of medicine and medical companies that are going to benefit from RFK Jr is #psychedelics.

Why did the brain-computer interface (#BCI) go to therapy?

Because it had too many unresolved connections!😀

Another Chennai boy making it in the USA and the world.

Whether he does well or not, is immaterial to the legacy of the great city, Madras/Chennai

This makes no sense to me. There is so much mumbo-jumbo about separating out the BCIs into categories like how colonial British rule separated its subjects and to what end, I ask?

Americans have a funny way of saying the word nuclear!!

It’s not nu-cular, dumbass!

Honestly, think non-invasive, targeted methodologies like focussed ultrasound and TMS have better utility than invasive #BCI for #mentalhealth disorders.

When they say, stent(s) or under the skull implant can do better than deep brain stimulation(#DBS), they are merely hoodwinking.
December 18, 2024 at 7:35 AM
Another inflated and bloated valuation and raise.

No one is going to make any money off this deal or #BCI company.
A humbug!

A remarkably candid interview that every person cares about what ends up in the wallet and NOT about ideology.

It is a bit damning when one of the most successful tech VCs in Marc Andresen says Biden Govt hated tech.

I officially confirm that I have deleted all news apps from my phone.

🦋 feels like window shopping. Everyone is liking what they see but no one wants to step into the store.

Some of my best work with @jojoplatt.bsky.social

While everyone talks of #BCI for #mentalhealth now and RFK Jr being sympathetic to regulated #psychedelics, you must know the facts.

Man, the Aussie TV production is always a revelation. From Kerry Packer to today, they keep upping the game.

This colour coded imagery of bat swings and hit trajectory is just poetry!

Unpopular opinion and needs to be said.

#BCI is like a co-ord set that luxury brands sell. It feels luxurious in pictures but in the end, it looks like a pyjama.

You can run but you cannot hide from the inflated valuations and alter-universe market share projections.

I fear such calls have dubious bias towards the brain when the business end is in the nerves outside the brain.

And no, I am not talking of spinal cord or the vagus?

The funding agencies show an absolute lack of imagination and follow a herd mentality.

Pity!!

Being a scientist is so much similar to being a tennis🎾 player.

You are either ahead of the times with your ideas or behind, you catch up if you are behind and finally build points into games into sets.
