Description

What you're about to hear sounds like science fiction. Professor Nicholas Opie is leading the world in developing a brain chip, capable of mind control. Through the company he co-founded, Synchron, Nick Opie is close to helping millions of people living with paralysis do things they never dreamed of doing.


Synchron may have been created in Melbourne, but it’s a big deal in Silicon Valley and it’s backed by some of the world's richest and most powerful men - Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.  

But Nick Opie is not your average professor. He’s something of a genius. An inventor with an altruistic vision. 


In this episode, Professor Nicholas Opie tells Neil Mitchell Why... 



  • The possibilities of BCI (Brain Computer Interface) are infinite and exciting 

  • Breaking rules is part of the creative process 

  • The brain is far more complex than you could imagine 

  • He’s not in it for the money
