New paper out today in Neuron led by @AFeinsinger👇 Neuroethics of working with patients who have intracranial electrodes to advance 🧠 research Honored to be a part of this growing area of research & community https://t.co/43Zrea7MfB
Learning about the human #brain from our #patients undergoing #neurosurgery seems invaluable. With this opportunity comes #ethical commitments to safeguard patients.

Thank you @NSF for this recognition and support of our ideas. I look forward to sharing the discoveries this CAREER award will allow my team and me to make!
🎉Congrats to Dr. @KanakaRajanPhD on receiving the @NSF CAREER Award — a prestigious recognition given to early-career faculty in STEM. Dr. Rajan will receive generous funding to support her work on Untangling Inter-area Communication in the #Brain using Neural Network Models.

Thrilled to share our latest work out today in @NeuroCellPress using functional #ultrasound (fUS) neuroimaging to decode movement from single trials in non-human primates 🐒 - a new benchmark for fUS & a precursor to closed-loop #BCI. https://t.co/9s1YGJSo89

BRAIN Initiative grantee @MaryamShanechi and her team have created tools to predict the effect electrical stimulation will have on brain activity across multiple regions. The tools were then successfully demonstrated in actual brain stimulation experiments https://t.co/1sOLCgFBf3

We all see the finished product but there is much that goes #BehindThePaper. I wrote the story of the past 6 years that led to our new @natBME paper, how it can enable closed-loop #DBS therapies, other related advances we've made & the road ahead. Story: https://t.co/L8taagHySC
Our @natBME paper is out. We demonstrate the ability to model & predict the dynamic response of multiregional brain networks to ongoing electrical stimulation. Collab w/@pesaranlab, 1st-authors: my student @YuxiaoYang10 & S Qiao in @pesaranlab Summary👇1/n https://t.co/NYuqayMeYn

Our paper is out @NatureComms! Huge shoutout to my PhD advisor @MaryamShanechi for her unconditional support and supervision. Also big thanks to the coauthors @yantatwong, Mahdi, and particularly @bijanpesaran/@pesaranlab for their much needed vision & contributions. Summary:👇
Our @NatureComms paper is out. We find a multiscale low-dim dynamical mode shared in spiking and LFP activity that explains naturalistic reach-and-grasp behavior. First-authored by my student @salixabb, collaboration with @pesaranlab, Summary & code👇: 1/n https://t.co/Zjvxlduu3f
