In the first episode of The Open Loop, Chay Carter, Founder of Carter Sciences and Reccy Neuro is joined by Dr. Owen Scott Muir, Interventional Psychiatrist, Co-founder & Chief Medical Officer at Radial.
Owen shares his personal journey through bipolar disorder, his experience as a clinical trial participant, and how those experiences shaped his mission to build the future of “brain medicine”.
This is a wide-ranging conversation on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), neurotechnology, AI biomarkers, precision psychiatry, and what it really takes to scale brain-based treatments in the real world.
We also explore the future of neuromodulation, patient-centred care, and why Owen believes psychiatry is evolving into a much broader field of brain medicine.
Key takeaways:
🔸 How Owen’s personal experience with bipolar disorder led him into neurotechnology
🔸 Why TMS changed his view of mental health treatment
🔸 How AI biomarkers could help predict which treatments work for patients
🔸 Why Owen believes “mental health” should be reframed as “brain medicine”
🔸 What it takes to scale patient-centred neurotechnology in the real world
