Wonderful to see this important paper come out yesterday- Congrats Lahiru, Nick, and Chethan @chethanp.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Holy Shift! Biomedical Breakthroughs Shaping Tomorrow : Your New Heart | Dr. Mike Davis. Have a listen:

This is wild.

I'm very excited to share the workshop "𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐂𝐈𝐬: 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬" which will be on November 11 at the IEEE/EMBS International Conference on Neural Engineering in San Diego! #IEEE #NER25 #neurotech #BCI #iBCI

Are you an ambitious scientist or engineer? Do you want to do hard engineering that will transform lives and advance science? Come join us to build next-generation neurotechnology at Integral.

👏👏👏

NIH grants peeps are working hard, on a Sunday night, trying to get our grants out to us as their world is in chaos. We owe them all a huge debt. Science peeps: be sure to send your grants personnel (grants management, POs and SROs) a note of encouragement and gratitude. @sarathomasy.bsky.social

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

Have started paying influencers to market our merch

I’m inviting you to attend a conference May 7-8 at Georgia Tech called InterfaceNeuro (interfaceneuro.org), targeting the intersection of neuroscience, neuroengineering, clinical/translational research, neurotech industry, and individuals with lived experiences. Please share! #neuroskyence 🧠🧪

Really wonderful to see this recognition of Michael J. Fox and his Foundation's tireless efforts to improve the lives of people with Parkinson's disease. www.michaeljfox.org/news/michael...

663 days since the senseless tragedy that took An, we present a manuscript that reports some of the discoveries that she left us. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

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 BrainGate clinical trial? Come join us!! snel.ai/positions/sp...

Walking is an essential part of life- yet we do not know how the nervous system generates the underlying neural programs. Please find our sneak-peek preprint on neural generation of locomotion in the mouse: biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Pan-neuronal one-spot tracks in lumbar cord w clearing & LSM

What is or isn't a "BCI"? We argue in Nature BME today that if the tech stimulates or records brain activity AND does computation, it's a BCI. www.nature.com/articles/s41... But we still need a way to discuss different types of BCI separately... 🧵 #BCI #BrainComputerInterface

Super exciting. The culmination of years of careful, theory-guided experiments and detailed analysis. Love it.

This is an excellent thread summarizing many of my own objections. I’d like to add two thoughts: 🧵 1/n

Live demos are hard, letting anyone try out the demo is harder. Hardware makes all of this doubly so. Thank you to everyone who dropped by our posters, engaged in discussions, and tried out the surface EMG demo. We were humbled by the interest! #NeurIPS2024

This is the most important list of heroes on here: go.bsky.app/Aqcw1mf

But do the kids even get the reference I wonder…

Our mentor and dear friend Krishna Shenoy had the same refrain, though with a different perspective. But ultimately, peeling all the other layers off, our jobs/impact as scientists comes down to the people.

Two MASSIVE datasets of EMG released by Meta Reality Labs. Really exciting to see these types of datasets being publicly released!! (Note: personal COI)

Oh look @bkarpowicz.bsky.social just joined bluesky... ⌛😅

Excited to be presenting this work @neuripsconf.bsky.social next Thursday! Come find me to learn more about FALCON: neurips.cc/virtual/2024...

#Cosyne is now on Bluesky y'all! bsky.app/profile/cosy... #neuroscience #NeuroAI

Exciting work from deep thinkers at the intersection of neuroscience and AI.

The BCI Society is now accepting abstract submissions for the upcoming 11th International BCI Meeting. Submit now at bcisociety.org.

Honest/practical prediction of the applicant's grad school trajectory: () They'll shape your research program () May not revolution your lab, but will Get. Things. Done. () Perfectly solid student () Won't break things; tons of potential with guidance! () Can't guarantee they won't break things

I did one recently and the choices were like: ( ) Most intelligent person in human history ( ) Most intelligent person alive on Earth right now ( ) All others

BCIs list! Still finding folks on here so please message me if you'd like to be added.

For the Blueskyers interested in #NeuroAI 🧠🤖, I created a starter pack! Please comment on this if you are not on the list and working in this field 🙂 go.bsky.app/CscFTAr

Amazing. One of the grandfathers of dynamics in neural systems wins the nobel. And also today, Rune Berg and I co-chair the first ever minisymposium on population dynamics in the spinal cord!!! A fantastic lineup. Tuesday AM, S406a! #SfN24

Hey #SfN24: How do we flexibly switch effectors? (E.g. writing with your fingertips or a pen?) W/ high ch count recordings from monkeys (Neuralink) & dynamical systems analysis, we find hierarchical computations distributed throughout M1! E38 now! www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/20433...

Hey #SfN24! Ever wonder if people can control two intracortical BCI functions at the same time? Come see our poster: a simultaneous speech and cursor iBCI! 🧠🗣️🖥️ Also unveiling our new BrainGate participant at Emory! Saturday 1-5p, H22! www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/20433...

Hey #COSYNE24 - @cversteeg.bsky.social and I are thrilled about the amazing lineup of speakers at our 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 workshop. +debut of the 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤! Excited for peoples' feedback. Safe travels! youtu.be/bJ0stLORdgQ

Ever wondered if the dynamics learned by LFADS-like models could help us understand neural computation?@chethan,@arsedle, @JonathanDMcCart, and I developed ODIN to robustly recover latent dynamical features through the power of injectivity!  arxiv.org/abs/2309.06402 1/
