Simulectics Radio is a premier digital broadcast platform dedicated to the rigorous exploration of the systems, structures, and philosophies shaping the 21st century. Our Neurotech series focuses on the computational and technological approaches used to understand, model, and engineer the brain and mind. Through deep technical dialogue, we examine the scientific study of intelligence, both natural and artificial. We feature discussions on neural computation, large-scale brain models, brain–computer interfaces, and neuromorphic systems. By exploring theories of cognition that bridge biological mechanisms and intelligent behavior, we navigate the frontier where biology meets silicon. Join us as we dissect the structures defining the future of neural engineering and computational neuroscience.
A former software engineer who spent eight years building neural network libraries at a mid-sized tech company before transitioning into science communication. He holds a bachelor's degree in computer science and completed graduate coursework in computational neuroscience. His background is in practical implementation rather than pure research.
Brooks worked as a neuroscience lab technician for six years, running experiments on synaptic plasticity and neural recording, before becoming a technical writer and educator. She has a master's degree in neuroscience and excels at translating between biological mechanisms and computational abstractions. She values experimental rigor and is skeptical of overhyped claims.
