Very excited to see our work on developing a bilingual speech neuroprosthesis out today in @natBME ! Thanks to our dedicated participant “Pancho” for making this happen! We put together a summary of the results below
Excited to share our work on developing a bilingual speech neuroprosthesis that decodes cortical activity into English and Spanish sentences in a person with paralysis. Out today in @natBME!

new preprint: "Quantifying interictal intracranial EEG to predict focal epilepsy" https://t.co/MzxwZCVa0N with @BrianLitt2 @katedavis12341 @AkashRPattnaik @ojemannw @alfrelucs @bernabei_john and others

Intracranial EEG (IEEG) is used for 2 main purposes, to determine: (1) if epileptic networks are amenable to focal treatment and (2) where to intervene. Currently these questions are answered...

Great work @lofiMRI! Grateful to have been part of this important work exploring the remote effects of epilepsy surgery on cortical thickness.
Pre-release out now, @EpilepsiaOpen publication coming soon! We compare postoperative morphology changes after two common epilepsy surgeries 🔪🧠 Big thanks to @katedavis12341 @BrianLitt2 @VickyLMorgan @Englot @joelsteinmd @bernabei_john @DrLucas_on_call @AndrewYRevell et al.

I'm beyond thrilled to have matched @NeurosurgUCSF, and I can't wait to join the incredible group of residents & faculty from whom I learned so much last summer on my sub-I! This wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering support of my family, friends, and mentors.
We're so excited to welcome the newest members of @UCSF Neurosurgery! Congratulations to John Bernabei, MD, PhD (@bernabei_john) , Sravani Kondapavulur, MD, PhD (@skondapavulur), and Mahmoud Elguindy, MD, PhD (@notinthemoud) 🎉🎉 #Match2023 #MatchDay #Neurosurgery

It is our hope that in the coming years many of the methods we highlight here will undergo prospective clinical studies to support their ability to accurately localize the epileptogenic zone and improve epilepsy surgery planning. 6/7

We provide our perspective on some of the current challenges that have hindered clinical translation of these methods, including substantial patient heterogeneity, retrospective study design, and data+code sharing. 4/7

Despite a large number of excellent prior studies, quantitative tools for planning epilepsy surgery from iEEG have not reached widespread clinical use. 3/7

In this article, we briefly review published methods for localizing the epileptogenic zone from intracranial EEG, including approaches which leverage interictal recordings, ictal recordings, and stimulation-based mapping. 2/7

We found that quantitative abnormalities in interictal activity and connectivity were higher in regions which generated spikes and seizures compared to uninvolved brain and used a random forest model to predict epileptogenicity based on these two groups of features.

Then, we compared patterns of frequency-specific interictal bandpower and inter-electrode coherence in 60 'test' patients against the atlas.
