Check out the two amazing speech BCI studies, in patients that are not able to speak anymore, published in nature today: nature.com/articles/s4158… nature.com/articles/s4158… These studies really push the state of the art and bring clear benefit to patients. What an exciting time!

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

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

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…
