Sunny talks to Prof Rodolphe Sepulchre, a control theorist from the University of Cambridge. They discuss the inspiration he took from studying biological neurons, why both discrete and continuous behaviors are inherent to how they work, and why building neurons is often easier than simulating them. After the interview, discussion follows with Giulia and Ralph.
