Episode notes
From Spiking Simulations To Living Tissue
- FinalSpark pivoted from simulating spiking neurons on silicon to culturing real neurons after hitting power limits.
- The change happened when an employee exposed them to neurobiology research and inspired the team to try living tissue.
Get Hands-On And Hire Experts
- Learn outside your comfort zone and hire experts when entering a new field.
- Combine cross-disciplinary skills actively by working hands-on and integrating domain specialists.
Biocomputing Is Research-First Today
- Biocomputing is at an early, research-focused stage similar to quantum computing today.
- Researchers can already connect remotely and run Python experiments to stimulate and record organoids.
