Sound Meets Signal: Jean Rintoul on Ultrasound Neuromodulation, Open-Source Hardware, and Bridging the Translation Gap
My latest guest on Mind Meets Machine: Global is Jean Rintoul, founder of Minds Eye Labs, who has built hardware across multiple biosensor products and is now working on non-invasive ways to sense and stimulate the brain using ultrasound.
A few insights that stood out:
🔹 Translation needs its own funding model. Academic grants reward novel findings, and VC funding looks for products. The unglamorous engineering in between, making a prototype reliable and repeatable, often falls through the gap. Jean argues for staged funding as evidence gets stronger, and for rewarding replication, negative…
