Chay Carter 11 Episodes Jul 23, 2026

Neurotechnology is moving fast, but the real story is how it gets built, tested, funded, and scaled. On The Open Loop, we explore the people, companies, and ideas shaping the future of neurotechnology, with honest conversations on what’s being built, what’s working, what’s difficult, and where the industry is really heading next. Hosted by Chay Carter, Founder of Carter Sciences and Reccy Neuro, the podcast brings together founders, researchers, operators, investors, and industry leaders building at the intersection of neuroscience, healthcare, and technology. Expect practical, unfiltered insight on building neurotech companies from research to commercialisation, brain-computer interfaces, neuromodulation, neuro-AI, and emerging technologies, as well as investment, regulation, and the realities of scaling in healthcare.
