Our paper now out in J Neural Eng develops a method that can adapt latent state dynamical models of brain activity in real time and optimize the learning rate for adaptation. Joint first authored by my former student Yuxiao Yang & student @parima69👇1/n iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

New paper out in J Neural Eng. We adaptively track human ECoG network dynamics w/adaptive latent state modeling, enabling better prediction & more dim-reduction. 1st-authored by my students @parima69 Yuxiao Yang Collab w/Eddie Chang @ChangLabUCSF 1/n👇 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

I'm presenting RNN PSID @#SfN21. We find strikingly consistent results on nonlinearities in neural-behavioral data across multiple independent datasets (+more). Preprint & SfN video are out, happy to answer Qs on Mon🕝CST. w Bijan Pesaran & Maryam Shanechi biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Identifying behaviorally relevant dynamics in Poisson population activity is like finding a needle in a haystack. I'll present a dynamical method to do this w/ Omid Sani, Maryam Shanechi at #SfN21: today, Monday Nov 8, poster P538.05, 2:30-3:30 PM CST abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/10485/p…

Our #SfN21 virtual session is currently down. Instead, join our open google meet to ask any questions you might have. We will be there till 3:30pm CST for all 4 posters: meet.google.com/cdx-qgve-djs

To make up for technical issues, #SfN21 has moved our session to Thurs, Nov 11, 2:30-3:30 CST. Looking forward to seeing you at P538.07. w/ Maryam Shanechi Lab

Wrote a little thing for Medium on the recent breakthrough in treating severe depression with personalised deep brain stimulation (and why all of us who love the spikes of neurons should be overjoyed with this work) elemental.medium.com/her-depression…

My Neuromatch talk about RNN PSID is now on YouTube. Happy to answer any Qs in the discord channel: discord.com/channels/89571… (link works once u join the server, info is on #nmc4 website) w Bijan Pesaran & Maryam Shanechi 📖Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… youtu.be/NLmWqg8bKRo

I’m excited to announce a world first. At 7pm ET today (~5 hours) Phillip O’Keefe, who had a Synchron Brain Computer Interface implanted in April 2020 will take over my Twitter account for 30 mins. He will use the BCI to tweet answers to your questions: directly from his brain.

Interested in dynamical systems with multi-scale/modal neural observations and dimensionality reduction? Please check out my recorded poster presentation via the Cosyne conference app (also temporarily available at youtu.be/bpQ8uuYkP6M). #Cosyne22 w/ Maryam Shanechi Lab

I spoke at the amazing #MARS2022 hosted by Jeff Bezos about next generation #Neurotech & #BCI🧠. Below are snippets of my talk & some fun: space suits🚀, Mars helicopter🚁, dolphin robots🐬🤖 youtu.be/JePUBH8SQnA Grateful to the MARS team! Some photos by Ben Rose photography

Omicron wave of mass infection showing its impact. Too many friends & colleagues reaching out for advice on #LongCovid. Heartbreaking. A 🧵on Rest & Pace. Biggest advice: don't repeat the mistake that most of us from the first wave in 2020 did i.e. push yourself. 1/

Interested in multimodal learning of low dimensional latent dynamics in neural population activity? Mon Nov 14, 4-5 PM, Come to my #SfN22 Poster 390.12 (posterboard #ll12)! w/ Maryam Shanechi Lab

At #EMBC2023? Join our mini-symposium on "Dynamical modeling for neurotechnology applications" to hear from Bolu Ajiboye, @sergeydoestweet, Amy Orsborn, PhD 👩‍🔬🐵, and Dr. Rose Faghih (linkedin.com/in/rosefaghih/). Tuesday, July 25 from 15-16:30, C4.6.

Our amazing lab members are presenting at #SfN23 Wednesday PM covering: 🧠 💻 Multimodal neural networks, NeuroAI, geometry, intrinsic population dynamics, flexible nonlinear inference, inter-regional dynamics, deep brain stimulation, BCI 🔥 Visit and discuss Society for Neuroscience (SfN)!👇

Confidence is key! 🤔 Using a new EEG task, we show that confidence can be decoded pre-response and demonstrate the feasibility of a confidence-based #BCI for enhanced decision making. 🧠 💻 Congrats to Nitin Sadras & co-authors! J Neural Eng Paper: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… 🧵
