Juan Benet, founder of IPFS/Protocol Labs, compiled all reference links from his podcast episode with Adam Marblestone, founder of Convergent Research and champion of the Focused Research Organization (FRO) model.
Cited works span the neurotech frontier: physical principles for scalable neural recording (2013), Conneconomics — the economics of dense large-scale connectomics (2013), the ultrasonic low-power "Neural Dust" brain-machine interface (2013), a drosophila computational brain model revealing sensorimotor processing (2024), ConnectomeBench on whether LLMs can proofread the connectome (2025), and E11 Bio's PRISM self-amplifying staining technology.
