We are thrilled to welcome Carina Oehrn to the UC Davis Department of Neurological Surgery as an assistant professor! Dr. Oehrn will join us in October to direct an innovative research program focusing on developing new neuromodulation targets and strategies.

Thanks for the shout-out, Sergey!😊Yes!! If you're interested in cognition & emotional processing in Parkinson's disease and adaptive deep brain stimulation, follow for updates or reach out directly. Job postings coming very soon!

The cognitive and emotional aspects to Parkinson's disease are under-appreciated. This is cutting edge work: come join Carina at UC Davis and help move the field forward

I'm so proud of Nicholas Card and our co-authors. We've empowered a man with ALS to communicate with loved ones and maintain his livelihood despite severe paralysis.

This podcast points out some of the difficulties faced by people living with ALS. It also highlights how a person living with paralysis can use a BCI to communicate with friends, family, and care partners. The impact of disease on care-partners is often under-appreciated!

A man with impaired speech from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) uses the speech neuroprosthesis to say whatever he wants for the first time. View more videos showing speech neuroprosthesis in practice: nej.md/3yBmrWC

Brain computer interfaces have the potential to help restore communication to people living with ALS -- like Brian. Check out this video, highlighting our recent publication in the New England Journal of Medicine. youtube.com/watch?v=thPhBD…

I couldn't ask for a more thoughtful or technically skilled colleague. Dr. Sharma is an outstanding surgeon, and is passionate about helping families living with epilepsy.

At #SfN24 our lab will be presenting updates on building multi-functional intracortical speech neuroprostheses and understanding the cortical basis of speech and movement. The whole lab including David Brandman and I will be there!

I was thankful for the opportunity to speak about our work on public radio!

I'm really excited about this work, since Tyler expands on rapid decoder calibration I explored in my PhD thesis. His approach allowed a man living with ALS to control a computer cursor with his thoughts within seconds.

A nice new article about our recent speech neuroprosthesis work, and what might come next for this type of technology.

We are honored to have been awarded the 2024 Sean M. Healey International Prize for Innovation in #ALS at #alsmndsymp for our team effort to develop brain-computer interfaces for restoring fast, intuitive, and accurate communication for people living with ALS. (1/3)

Congratulations! This is a huge accomplishment and an amazing opportunity to learn more about the human brain, with the goal of restoring function to people living with paralysis.

A rising star and an amazing colleague. Congrats!

Brain computer interfaces hold the potential to restore communication to people living with paralysis. The UC Davis Neuroprosthetics Lab is being recognized for its work in BCI technology, as one of the top 10 clinical research contributions in 2024.

Incredible to see our speech neuroprosthesis research featured as one of many wonderful applications of the AI that Sompolinsky, Abbott, and Sejnowski helped develop (starting ~23 min in) 🎬:

Damage to the brain from trauma or disease can be devastating. AI & brain-machine interfaces now offer hope in ways once thought impossible. Watch Artificial Intelligence: From Mind to Machine, with The Brain Prize winners 2024: brainprize.org/winners/comput…

Honored to have received this national award on behalf of our research group! Thank you Dr. Kim E. Barrett for the nomination.

BRAND has always been a labor of love. I'm so excited that our ideas for distributed computing in real-time BCI applications is gaining traction in the community
