It's always interesting when you are asked, "How did you get into X or Y in the first place?" Where does passion come from? Can it be cultivated? Can it be created from scratch? The interview with Neurotech Daily which was released a few weeks ago got me thinking about this question. I plan to share more about the journey that has taken me up to this point this week as we lead up to an important milestone in the history of NextSense. (https://lnkd.in/gjxq8dQ8)

Hear from Dr. M Waleed Kadous, Chief Scientist at Anyscale, ex-Uber Eng Strategy Lead, and ex-Principal Engineer at Google. You'll gain insights into six prevalent use-case patterns for #LLMs, including summarizing and diagnostics, and learn to intuitively recognize potential applications for LLMs in real-world problems.

Hey Computer Vision engineers/researchers/practitioners, I am pleased to announce our new synthetic image generation pipeline, offering extensive control over the process without the need for rendering engine expertise. As we enter the testing phase, we are actively seeking projects. If you are facing a shortage of image data or have an interest in exploring the applications of synthetic image, feel free to drop me a message. #computervision #syntheticdata #deeplearning #machinelearning

🧠 ⚙ #𝐍𝐄𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐒 #8: 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟏-𝟏𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 This month's part 1 roundup covers a (relatively) slow fortnight of #neurotechnology developments while I've been working remotely in #washingtonDC As usual, there's been no shortage of #BCI news, with important headlines from Neuralink and Synchron, while Integral Neurotechnologies emerged from stealth led by Milan Cvitkovic. I also weigh in on the trust gap in neurotech, pointing to an excellent (and damning) STAT investigation about a neurosurgeon behaving badly at Mt. Sinai under the guise of #deepbrainstimulation research. As the field of #braincomputerinterface races to hit commercial milestones, there's still important work left to do... 🗞 Other market news of note: Fresh funding, New partnerships, and a SPAC. 🤔 You'll also find a link to a members-only post: 𝙰𝚟𝚘𝚒𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙽𝚎𝚞𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚌𝚑'𝚜 𝙽𝚎𝚡𝚝 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚘𝚜 🗓 New Events posted for May and June. 💼 And - a brand new feature: Introducing ＪＯＢ ＰＯＳＴＩＮＧＳ! Are you a cool company hiring for cool roles in neurotechnology? Email/DM me with your postings. Please note that a small placement fee applies. More exciting announcements for subscribers in the coming weeks...it's a good time to Subscribe! As usual, I'm asking for your help to spread the word, share with your colleagues, teams, and professional networks. It really makes a difference. Thanks! Finally a SPECIAL SHOUT OUT to the two executives who paused their busy schedules to share candid, critical feedback on my analysis, not to get a soundbyte in, but to make sure I am understanding the nuances of this market and its key players. I'm here to learn... 🙏 Thanks so much for reading and engaging. I'd love to hear from you in the comments, DM, email, text... LET'S GO. https://lnkd.in/edxcbcMb

🕵️♂️ Histology slides, microscopes, and computers. I didn´t see myself losing sleep over digital pathology analysis during my PhD, but I did. Manually extracting regions of interest from whole slide images (WSI) to analyze with #ImageJ was not ideal. It took too long. It all changed when I ran into a colleague using #QuPath, automating parts of the analysis, letting the computer do part of the work – I was hooked – 🔬🤖🤯 👨💻 As researchers do, I started a path of upskilling. I plunged into the documentation of QuPath, the scientific image software community in the image.sc forum, and learning by doing (𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴). My loss of sleep over digital pathology? mostly my brain figuring out process optimizations, devising automation strategies, and figuring out why the 🤬 was my code not working!? 🪢 Looking back on it, below are some general considerations I wish I had when I started, and a script to automate it. 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰. PS: in the end my code worked, allegedly without shedding too many tears 🌈 #DigitalPathology #ImageAnalysis #Automation
