À propos de cet audio
In this episode, Zane and Gopu unpack the fascinating overlap—and key differences—between neural engineering and neuroengineering.
They explore how neural engineering focuses on decoding and interfacing with the nervous system through technologies like brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), which are helping restore movement and communication for people with paralysis. The discussion highlights recent progress in BCIs, how close we are to seamless brain-controlled devices, and what the next decade of innovation might look like.
Then the conversation shifts toward neuroengineering, a subfield of tissue engineering aimed at creating engineered brain tissue in the lab. The hosts discuss how this research is advancing our understanding of brain repair, regeneration, and neurodegenerative diseases—and the ethical questions that come with growing functional brain-like tissues outside the body.
Together, they ask: Where do biology and technology meet—and where should we draw the line?
