20 years ago today, an extraordinary 24-year-old, unable to move his hands due to cervical spinal cord injury, volunteered to have a tiny sensor placed into his brain so that he could control a computer cursor, his room lights, and a robot arm just by thinking about it.

What underlies the spinal cord’s intrinsic ability to adjust locomotor patterns on a step-by-step basis? We investigated this question in our new preprint! Follow along in the thread for the #tweeprint!

Modern neuroscientists routinely record the complex, goal-oriented, and time-varying activity of thousands of neurons. Can we find representations of neural activity that 1) are human-interpretable and 2) enable the generation of neural activity for unrecorded behavioral

Our new study is out today in the New England Journal of Medicine! We demonstrate a speech neuroprosthesis that decodes the attempted speech of a man with ALS into text with 97.5% accuracy, enabling him to communicate with his family, friends, and colleagues in his own home. 1/9

Excited to share our NEW preprint: a "brain-to-voice" neuroprosthesis that directly synthesizes voice from neural activity with closed-loop audio feedback. It allowed a man with ALS to speak expressively by modulating intonation & sing melodies via BCI! doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… 1/

New brain-computer interface preprint led by PhD student Tyler Singer-Clark! This video of a man with paralysis accurately controlling a cursor looks like something you've seen since ~2017. BUT! This is driven by multielectrode arrays in ventral (speech) motor cortex‼️ 1/

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. Stanford Neurosurgery Michigan Neurosurgery U-M BME nature.com/articles/s4159…

4 yrs ago, I jumped from AI into Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) research—with almost zero neuroscience experience. Today, I'm at NPTL, one of the world's leading BCI labs, contributing to breakthroughs like restoring speech for people with ALS and developing a robust handwriting

I’m excited to present our new preprint! An intuitive, bimanual, high-throughput QWERTY touch typing neuroprosthesis for people with tetraplegia. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

📢 Heads-up to the neuro-ML/BCI community that we'll launch the Brain-to-Text '25 competition in ~a month, and it'll run through Dec. 31. More intracortical electrodes! More varied utterances! More... speechy? Rumor even has it there'll be cash prizes this year Stay tuned...

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

Serve on the #BCI Postdoc and Student Committee: Represent your peers. Contribute to exciting initiatives. Grow as a leader. Apply by June 30. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

20 years and 14 BrainGate participants - our latest preprint delivers the first systematic look at Utah array longevity, stability & decoding accuracy in people! 1/7 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

We're excited to announce the Brain-to-Text '25 competition, with a new intracortical speech neuroscience dataset and $9,000 in prizes generously provided by Blackrock Neurotech!. Can you do better than us at decoding speech-related neural activity into text? kaggle.com/competitions/b…

Our new preprint describes a multimodal intracortical brain-computer interface that a man with ALS has used at home, independently, almost every day for >19 months. It decodes both speech and cursor control to enable him to communicate and use his computer. Here’s a quick tour👇
