Brain–computer interfaces are no longer science fiction. Matt Angle, Founder and CEO of Paradromics, joins Omar Khateeb to discuss how his company is building the world’s highest data–rate BCI.

From his neuroscience roots at Stanford to raising capital in Austin, Matt shares how Paradromics is preparing for first-in-human trials in ALS patients, why data rate is the real bottleneck, how their platform stacks up against Neuralink, and why investors like Saudi Arabia’s NEOM are betting on this future.

This episode covers the technology, the business, and the ethics behind connecting brains and machines.
