Optical Communications and the Internet of Neuroelectronics

Adventures in Pushing the Limits

Babe, You Must be a Neuron,

Cause You’ve Got Some Action Potential – Author Unknown

In this week’s podcast we are talking about next generation optics, signal integrity, the Internet of Neuroelectronics, and a whole lot more! To start things off, we take a closer look at how a team of researchers have enabled the communication between biological neurons and artificial neurons for the first time. Next, Patrick Mechin (TechWay) and I discuss the design challenges and technology bottlenecks of 25Gps optical communication and where optics are headed in the future.
