Cyborgs That Smell

In this episode, Neurotech Pub host and Paradromics CEO Matt Angle discusses the science of olfaction and commercial implications with Andreas Schaefer, Gabe Lavella, and Dima Rinberg. Gabe and Dima unveil their new startup, Canaery, which uses BCI-enhanced animals to digitize the olfactory world.
