While we've featured Blackrock guests before, Stephen's appearance today is driven by his podcast, Neurratives, where neurotech-inspired movies are reviewed and discussed. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Top 3 Takeaways: &quot;Our goal for the podcast isn't necessarily to be overly technical, requiring a neuroscience degree to understand. We're often deep in the subject matter and may get a bit jargony, but broadly, we aim to be accessible without pretending to be accomplished neuroscience researchers.&quot; “Due to the subject's nature, movies dealing with neuroscience themes often lean heavily towards science fiction. So, I make a conscious effort to seek out romantic comedies, medical dramas, or family dramas as a palate cleanser between sci-fi films.” “I tend to be relaxed regarding accuracy in science and technology in movies, though I do point out inaccuracies when I notice them. However, I don't always see this as detrimental to the movie itself. Some tropes bother me, like percutaneous connectors seen in &quot;The Matrix&quot; and &quot;Ghost in the Shell.&quot; They seem impractical and unsanitary.” &amp;nbsp; 2:00 Let’s hear about the Neurratives podcast 4:14 What does a normal podcast episode look like? 7:30 What are some notable movies? 10:30 What are your qualifications to talk about neurotech movies? 12:15 Did you ever feel imposter syndrome? 14:00 Will you ever run out of movies? 16:00 Would listening to Neurratives be better before or after watching the movie? 16:45 What should movie directors either start or stop doing for neurotech movies? &amp;nbsp;21:15 Anything else that we didn’t talk about that you wanted to mention?
