Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

And so in that sense, it's an applied problem.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

The body has simplified it quite a bit by the time we get to the wrist.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

That's right.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

The challenges of it are, how do you get something to work on every single person when they put it on the first time?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

That's a really hard application problem.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

Because it has been determined that people won't have the tolerance to let it learn from it for some period.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

The consumer doesn't want a learning phase.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

Yeah, we call that personalization.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

So we, so far, have not gone down that road.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

We just have a general model.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

You put it on and it works.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

And what that means is you have to collect quite a bit of data.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

We wrote a paper, actually published it in Nature, about some of this work.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

And so what we learned was that if you get a bunch of people come in and you have them do the gestures and you machine learn the hell out of it, then with a lot of effort and clever engineering, you can make it work.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

So what probability, like what percentage would you say it's accurate?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

For the things that we've released, it's very, very accurate.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

In the 99 something?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

Oh, yes.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

I don't actually know what the numbers are, but they're very high because you want to have something out there that's quality.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

Yeah.
