🎙️ ON AIR: We're speaking w/ UCSF Bioengineering & Therapeutic Sciences's Alex Silva & Berkeley Neuroscience's Robert Knight about the promise of neuroprosthetics. ❓ What are your questions about the future of brain-computer interfaces? 📻 Listen: kqed.org/forum/20101018…
Excited to share recent work with UCSFepilepsy as well as the Kleen and Chang labs! We found that interictal discharges form a convergent basis for word-finding difficulty in patients with epilepsy doi.org/10.1111/epi.17…
Our work on decoding speech using high-density micro-scale recordings was published today in Nature Communications! We demonstrate the potential of high-spatial sampling technology for future neural speech prostheses. nature.com/articles/s4146… The thread below outlines our main findings.
ecstatic to see this paper out! made possible through extraordinary teamwork, and special co-first duo with Matt Leonard. an astounding first insight into what Neuropixels can tell us about neural computation in human cortex, in support of language processing
Check out Sarah Wandelt study on imagined speech decoding from Utah array's in SMG: nature.com/articles/s4156…
Excited to share our review on progress towards a clinically viable speech neuroprosthesis! Thanks to ChangLabUCSF and co-authors Kaylo Littlejohn , Jessie R. Liu , and David Moses ! nature.com/articles/s4158…
Very excited to see our work on developing a bilingual speech neuroprosthesis out today in Nature Biomedical Engineering ! Thanks to our dedicated participant “Pancho” for making this happen! We put together a summary of the results below
Momentary snapshots of hippocampal brain activity may provide daily seizure forecasts in epilepsy @UCSFEpilepsy, UCSF Neurosurgery, Ankit N. Khambhati, @ChangLabUCSF #seizurecycles, #epilepsy nature.com/articles/s4159…
1/n) Our latest work is out today in Nature Neuroscience! We developed a streaming “brain-to-voice” neuroprosthesis which restores naturalistic, fluent, intelligible speech to a person who has paralysis. nature.com/articles/s4159…
Our latest research on the neural basis of speech-motor sequencing is now published in Nature Human Behaviour! Check out this high-level explainer video and read the full paper here: nature.com/articles/s4156…
