Super excited to start my lab @RiceNeuro and @RiceECE in January 2025 !š. We aim to understand the human brain using intracortical BCIs and enable new translational applications with high-dimensional read-out and write-in. Looking for awesome postdocs + grad students:.

Awesome work, @Maitreyee_W !!.
Our brain-to-voice synthesis brain-computer interface paper was published in @Nature today! This neuroprosthesis synthesized the voice of a man with ALS instantaneously, enabling him to āspeakā flexibly and modulate the prosody of his BCI-voice. 1/7.Paper:

I am incredibly thankful to the @BrainGateTeam and our research participants for being true pioneers and attempting combinatorial, unnatural finger movements for hours for this basic neuroscience study.

A paper from my postdoc is out! . How does the premotor cortex reuse the neural representation of single finger movements for simultaneous, multi-finger movements? . TLDR: Ensemble activity for simultaneous movements can be explained by linear summation of.

A superfun collaboration with @matthew_willsey , Donald Avansino, and others . Big thanks to our inspirational participant T5, who always wanted to fly drones.
A BCI controlling virtual fingers is used to fly a high-performance virtual quadcopter. BCIs could allow people with paralysis to eventually play multiplayer video games with gamers who use video game controllers. @StanfordNsurg @umichneuro @UMBME .

Cool opportunity in a fantastic BCI group !.
Looking to start off the new year with a bang? How about a postdoc position in intracortical BCIs to restore speech, as part of the @BrainGateTeam clinical trial? Come join us!! .
