I'm not talking about hundreds or 1000s, you need to have millions of samples in order to really understand what's happening in the brain. Let me give you an example of what happened in the heart rate industry: when in the past, you had to have a special tool to stick to the chest, nowadays, you have a watch that is monitoring your wrist, and you have a heart rate analysis out of the cloud. So eventually, this is what we're going to do in the brain."During this interview, you will learn four things:That achieving amazing achievements is about three things: Strong belief. Big Dream.
