Excited to finally share this article, published today in @NatureComms. It elucidates what is special about certain areas in the cerebral cortex that makes them critical to language function. https://t.co/8xomnaIvQ5

Update! Now out in print, with much more scientific details on representational plasticity and stability with neurofeedback that allows for long-term BCI control. https://t.co/I0Ww5aq4bS This study would not have been posssible if not for the enduring spirt of BCI participants

Recordings from electrocorticography brain-computer interface (BCI) in tetraplegic participants find mesoscale representational stability and plasticity with neurofeedback that allows for long-term...
!! New iBCI paper!! Using ECoG, we studied the interplay between representational stability and plasticity of a repertoire of simple mvmts. Despite drift, we could translate these principles for BCI control of a robotic arm, with high proficiency and stability for 7mos (1/n)

These signals were distributed widely throughout these areas.

BCIs could help people with aphasia. But first, we must know when someone is trying to speak, vs. just thinking, so we don't decode people's thoughts. Here, we decoded intent to speak from temporal and parietal signals, traditionally thought to be involved in receptive speech

Happy to announce that Prashanth Prakash's paper on decoding #speech intent from signals outside the frontal lobe is out today in JNE! https://t.co/X3luJkMWOm (1/n)

The NIH’s new imposed standard indirect cost rate threatens life-saving brain and behavior research that benefits millions of Americans. SfN, with other scientific organizations, urge reversal of this policy and implore Congress to protect critical research infrastructure. Read

NIH funding supported : *** 412,041 jobs *** *** $92.89 billion in new economic activity*** *** $2.46 for every NIH $1 spent.*** We are a $100B industry. Let's act like it ! How about, at a bare minimum, we all just call our congressional reps??

With this work we demonstrate that neurotechnology can be tailored to change single neuron properties thereby improving motoneuron function in a human motoneuron disease. This opens totally new avenues for the therapeutic use of neurotechnologies in neurodegenerative diseases 1/2
Hi X world! This might sound crazy but today we publish in @NatureMedicine a paper showing that neurostimulation can revert motoneuron dysfunction produced by a neurodegenerative disease! @scottensel@dona_sere @DrRFriedlander@ElviraPirondini @MCapogrosso

This is beyond terrible. It will ruin research
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above

Eighty years ago today, over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army. 1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over. Today, we all remember. We must keep remembering.

(2/2) While we read the paper by @JTRobinsonLab colleagues with interest, it is important to clarify that standard EEG, fMRI, PET recordings, and standard, open-loop brain stimulation like DBS and tDCS, are not considered BCIs by the community at large.

(1/2) In 2024, the BCI community formulated a working definition of BCIs ( https://t.co/bS59668rR8), which aimed to clearly distinguish BCIs from technologies that do not change the ongoing interactions between brain and environment.

Our group has a new paper out now in Nature BME, led by Charles Greenspon. It covers a number of updates on how we can restore tactile sensation from the hand using intracortical microstimulation (ICMS).
