GreyLattice-00(GL00): Welcome to GreyLattice!
Introducing a blog series on Neurotechnology, GreyLattice — Decoding minds, Building Intelligence

What is GreyLattice?
GreyLattice is a research platform focused on Neurotechnology and Computational Neuroscience. The name represents the intricate structure of neural "Grey" matter and the complex networks it forms—like a "Lattice" of connections.
I (GK01) started GreyLattice to dive deep into neuroscience research and break down complex concepts for people who want to understand this field.
Whether you're a student, researcher, or someone who's simply curious about brains and technology, my goal is to make neurotechnology understandable and approachable for everyone.
Mission
I have three main goals with GreyLattice:
Making Knowledge Accessible: Neurotechnology sits at the intersection of neuroscience, computer science, and AI. That makes it complicated to get into. I break down these concepts so more people can understand and get involved in this exciting area.
Research Analysis: I read through academic papers, explore new findings, and work on projects that help advance understanding in neurotechnology. The goal is to contribute something meaningful to the field while learning deeply myself.
Personal End Goal: I'm working toward becoming a pioneer in this field—doing original research, building real projects, and eventually creating a neurotechnology company that makes a significant impact.
I believe the best way to learn something is to teach it (Love for Feynman), and the best way to advance a field is to make sure more smart people can contribute to it.
GreyLattice is my best effort towards that vision.
How It's Organized - (Code Based Navigation)
GreyLattice uses a systematic approach with different content series, each handling specific types of content.
Every post gets a unique code based on its series and position - so you can access any piece of content directly using the format:
greylattice.substack.com/p/[code]
Core (GLxx): Deep dives into fundamental concepts in neurotechnology and computational neuroscience. These are the foundation pieces that everything else builds on.
{Code: GL00, GL01, GL02, GL03…}Research (GLrxx): I break down interesting academic papers and new findings. Think of these as translations from academic-speak to human-speak, with my analysis of what it all means.
{Code: GLr00, GLr01, GLr02, GLr03…}Projects (GLproxx): Hands-on work where I build things, create tutorials, or develop tools. This is where theory meets practice.
{Code: GLpro00, GLpro01, GLpro02, GLpro03…}Podcast (GLcxx): Discussions about trends in the field, interviews, and broader thoughts on where neurotechnology is heading.
{Code: GLc00, GLc01, GLc02, GLc03…}Summary (GLyxxs): Quick overviews of the longer posts, including AI-generated audio summaries and interactive notebooks using NotebookLM. Perfect if you want to know what a post is about before diving in, or if you learn better by listening.
{Code: GLr01s, GL02s…}
This structure lets me cover everything from beginner concepts to cutting-edge research while keeping things organized.
Future Directions
GreyLattice is growing in several directions:
Better Research: I'm working toward producing original research and collaborating with others in the field. The goal is to move from just analysing other people's work to contributing new insights.
Open Source Tools: Building and sharing tools that help other people work in neurotechnology. If I create something useful while learning, I want others to benefit from it too.
Community Building: As more people get interested in this field, I want GreyLattice to become a place where researchers, students, and practitioners can connect and collaborate.
Real Applications: Eventually, I want to bridge the gap between research and products that actually help people. That might mean starting a company, partnering with existing organizations, or finding other ways to get neurotechnology out of labs and into the world.
The plan is to establish GreyLattice as a recognized voice in neurotechnology—not just as a blog, but as a research platform that contributes to the field's development.
About me
I'm a Computer Science and Engineering student who got fascinated by the intersection of brains and computation. I started GreyLattice because I couldn't find a curated set of resources that helped people actually get into neurotechnology.
Everything was either too basic or assumed you had a PhD. I wanted to create a platform that curated resources , simplified concepts, and showed people they could work in this field by focusing on the intersection of neuroscience and computer science rather than mastering both disciplines completely.
My approach is straightforward: read the research, understand it deeply, then explain it clearly. I work alone, which means things take time and I can't produce content as consistently as I'd like. But I prioritize quality over quantity.
The work combines genuine curiosity with serious ambition. I'm not just writing about neurotechnology—I'm positioning myself to contribute to its future development.
The Bigger Picture
Neurotechnology is at a fascinating point. We're seeing breakthroughs in brain-computer interfaces, better understanding of neural computation, and AI systems that both learn from and help us understand the brain.
But there's a gap. Academic research can be hard to access and understand. Industry work is often proprietary. Meanwhile, there are tons of smart people who could contribute to this field if they had better entry points.
GreyLattice tries to fill that gap. By making current research accessible and exploring practical applications, I'm working to build bridges between different communities working on brain-related technologies.
The ultimate vision is bigger than just education. I want to help accelerate progress in neurotechnology by making sure good ideas spread, talented people get involved, and research translates into applications that benefit people.
Companies like Neuralink, Synchron, and others are showing what's possible when neuroscience meets engineering. GreyLattice is my way of contributing to that movement—starting with education and research analysis, building toward original contributions and eventually practical applications.
This is just the beginning. The brain is the most complex system we know, and we're only starting to understand how to work with it technologically. I want GreyLattice to be part of that journey.
If you have questions about anything I've covered or ideas for future posts, I'd love to hear them.
Reader curiosity often leads to the most interesting explorations.
Hope you have a great day today and learn something new,
Thank you for being here
