Super happy and proud of Genis. Can't wait to see what he will do in his lab! 💙

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 ‘speak’ flexibly and modulate the prosody of his BCI-voice. 1/7 Paper: rdcu.be/eqH3C

Is it true you use only 10 bits / s of your brain? Andrew Pruszynski and I provide a motor systems perspective on a proposed speed limit for human information processing. Out today in Nature Neuroscience: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Absolutely gorgeous counter argument to the wild claims of 10 bit/s information processing power in human brains. Brilliantly written and convincing.

A US judge has ordered hundreds of terminated research projects at the US National Institutes of Health to be reinstated, calling the processes that led to their cancellation “bereft of reasoning”. go.nature.com/3HHE7Ee

Our paper is finally out on our experimentally-driven neuromechanical model to explain how spinal inhibition makes you do things faster! cell.com/cell-reports/f…

New preprint! We used the motor units that once controlled the paralyzed foot for closed-loop FES stimulation in individuals with foot paralysis after SCI. The participants found this to be an effective and intuitive way to restore foot movement. arxiv.org/abs/2506.16468

1/N How do neural dynamics in motor cortex interact with those in subcortical networks to flexibly control movement? I’m beyond thrilled to share our work on this problem, led by Eric Kirk Eric Kirk with help from Kangjia Cai! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm thrilled to announce that our work to develop the Neuropixels-NHP 1.0 neural recording probe is now out in print in Nature Neuroscience. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Pittsburgh now boasts 7 unicorns, startups valued at more than $1 billion, and 4 of those have earned unicorn status within the last 12 months. Now, it’s on the map as a serious contender in the U.S. tech economy. axios.com/local/pittsbur…

Out today in nature: we show that individual neurons have diverse tuning to a decision variable computed by the entire population, revealing a unifying geometric principle for the encoding of sensory and dynamic cognitive variables. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Now that’s what I am taking about ☀️🕺🪩🏖️

Personal referrals are the best way to hire. If you know someone who’d be a good fit for our open clinical project manager and clinical research associate positions, DM me!

Congratulations to University of Pittsburgh med students Shovan Bhatia, Jhair Colon and Lily Tang on their selection as inaugural recipients of the John J. Moossy Medical Student Award for Excellence in Neurosurgery.

Super excited and honored to receive the Dr. John J. Moossy Medical Student Award. I am excited to continue studying the effects of spinal cord stimulation for motor recovery after stroke. Thanks to all my mentors for the support!! Pitt Neurosurgery Marco Capogrosso Roberto de Freitas

S1NNER 🏆 World No.1 Jannik Sinner defeats Carlos Alcaraz to claim his first Wimbledon title 🇮🇹

At Pitt Bioengineering , taxpayer-funded neural engineering is restoring touch & movement, advancing epilepsy surgery, and training the next-gen STEM workforce. From BCIs to brain imaging, we’re translating science into care. #BCI #NeuroTech #NIHFunded #NeuralEngineering #PittResearch

ICYMI: Finally some good news! The senate committee rejected the 40% budget cut for NIH and instead endorsed a $400 million budget increase! Science for the win.

Big win for American health & jobs! Senate panel boosts NIH budget by $400M, rejecting 40% cut. NIH research saves lives, fuels innovation, & returns $2.20 per $1 spent. MAGA taxpayers, this is YOUR win! Call your reps & keep pushing for science! #NIHFunding #AmericaFirst

🚨 PREPRINT ALERT! I'm happy to share some of the final outcomes of our clinical trial aiming to test the efficacy and safety of cervical epidural spinal cord stimulation (#SCS) in #stroke survivors! Marco Capogrosso Pitt Neurosurgery Shovan Bhatia Doug Weber medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
