Greg and Matias interview Ed Boyden about neuroscience frontiers and its applications to mental health.
Ed is a pioneer in understanding the fundamental mechanisms of the brain. He runs a lab at MIT for Synthetic Neurobiology and is a professor across the departments of neurotechnology, biological engineering, and cognitive science at MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research. His inventions include optogenetic tools and expansion microscopy. He is co-founder of Cognito Therapeutics, Elemind, TI Solutions, and Synlife, and scientific advisor to several other companies.
In this episode, we discuss…

Academia vs. startups for neuroscience advancement
Evaluating data vs intuition to assess new technologies
Breakthroughs like optogenetics and expansion microscopy
How to translate neurotech into companies/commercialization
Approaches for clearly communicating and "storytelling" complex science.
