Join in for a conversation with Graeme Moffat, Chief Scientist and VP of Regulatory Affairs at Interaxon. Interaxon is a neurotech company based out of Toronto. They are the creators of the Muse headband where it uses technology and neuroscience to help you meditate effectively, one of the world-leading companies making this happen. Graham earned his PhD in neuroscience at Universite Aix-Marseille in France but he had his sights set on joining the private sector during his early neuroscience education at McMaster university. He was bit by the startup bug whilst building the largest neuroscience publication platform in Switzerland and that led him to become the Chief Scientist at Meta, a NeuroTech company that got acquired by the Chan-Zuckerburg Foundation, and later to become the Chief Scientist at Interaxon. In our chat we cover Graham's fascinating global journey as a neuroscientist, the academic world, the childhood that started his fascination with the human brain and much more. I should also add that I selfishly wanted to learn more about neuroscience and meditation so we also geek out about all of that in the episode as well!
