Josh Vinson works at the edge where AI meets the human brain. With a background in psychology and
machine learning, he is part of a growing group of engineers exploring neural decoding, the emerging
field focused on translating brain signals into meaningful insights about thought, intent, and
experience. While the idea of "reading thoughts" still sounds like science fiction, Josh explains why
parts of it are already real, and why recent advances in large language models have quietly accelerated
progress in this space.
In this episode of In The Blink of AI, Georgie Healy sits down with Josh to unpack how brain computer
interfaces actually work, what separates invasive implants like Neuralink from noninvasive approaches
such as EEG, and why the hardest challenges are not ethical or philosophical but technical. They
explore the twin problems of noisy hardware and radically different brains, and what it would take for
neural decoding to become reliable enough for clinical and everyday use.
The conversation stretches beyond medicine into the future of communication itself. From experience
transfer and lucid dreaming headsets to brain wearables that could track attention, presence, and
mental fatigue, Josh shares a clear-eyed view of what might be possible and what should give us pause.
If you're curious about where human cognition and artificial intelligence truly begin to blur, this
episode offers a grounded look at what's coming and why it matters.
