In this episode, Dr. Ben Paul discusses how Neuroloom develops an effective way to stimulate neurons.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Top three takeaways:&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Neuroloom electrodes mitigate the intensity of the immune response and immune-rejection of invasive devices The goal is to use tissue engineering techniques and apply those to neuronal circuits to create living electrodes.&amp;nbsp; As opposed to penetrative electrodes, the hybrid electrodes are planar and neurons culture on top of them.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; [0:00] Ladan introduces the episode and the guest, Dr. Ben Paul.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; [2:10] Dr. Ben Paul gives a background of his education and how it led to the creation of Neuroloom. &amp;nbsp; [6:20] The way the Neuroloom electrodes are built, the interfacing area is less disturbed by an immune response.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; [17:20] The prototype device uses 3D printed structures, living neurons, and electrode arrays.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; [27:15]&amp;nbsp; Neuroloom is a lean company when dealing with producing designs and getting the basic science of the device demonstrated.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Neural Implant podcast - the people behind Brain-Machine Interface revolutions http://neuralimplantpodcast.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/16993916/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/87A93A/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/16993916
