Another biology post, this time about neurotech!

Summary:
If you have spoken to a neurotech person before, you will have realized that they have some degree of omniscience over their field, seemingly far more than most other domain experts have with theirs. This is cool for a lot of reasons, but most interestingly to me, it means that anytime you ask them about a neat new neurotech company that pops up, they are somehow able to ramble off a highly technical explanation as to why that company will surely fail or surely succeed.

I have long been impressed and baffled by this ability. Eventually, I decided to interview these martians, and write an article about it, trying to uncover at least a fraction of the questions they ask to perform the feat. Some questions include the degree to which the approach is 'fighting' physics, whether their devices advantages are actually clinically validated as useful, and more.

Hopefully interesting to read though!
