What are the complexities of turning brain signals into words on a screen? 🧠 🖥️ Find out in this The Wall Street Journal interview with UCSF Health's Edward Chang, MD: bddy.me/3RtmaZT ChangLabUCSF 📷 Carolyn Fong / WSJ

New UC San Francisco work published in Nature Communications shows that ChangLabUCSF 's brain-computer interface allows a person who has lost the ability to speak or type to spell out full sentences from a large vocabulary by silently attempting to speak: nature.com/articles/s4146…

A Nature Communications paper reports on a device capable of decoding brain activity in a participant with speech paralysis, as they silently attempt to spell out words phonetically to create full sentences. go.nature.com/3zXf4GG

Breaking News: Academic workers across the University of California system walked off the job on Monday as part of a strike over pay and benefits. nyti.ms/3g5d5cy

LETS FUCKING GOOO

nothing like strike chants to keep that sfn raspy voice goin 🫡🤌✊💫 #FairUCNow

strikes are lowkey goated in situations where fair contracts are the vibe #fairucnow

We are now entering week two of unfair labor practice strikes by UAW-represented academic workers at the University of California. Their talent is what enables UC’s world-class research. I’m leading colleagues to call on UC to reach a resolution and bargain in good faith.

Both Parnassus and Mission Bay campuses at UCSF came together today for an absolutely incredible day 6 ✊🏼 #FairUCNow #UAWonStrike Student Researchers United-UAW @uaw2865 UAW Local 5810

Our very own Raymundo Miranda and ro sandoval were interviewed by nature about the strike happening across the UC. Take a moment and check it out! nature.com/articles/d4158…

We are back in full force for Week 3 of the strike. Catch a glimpse of our rallies yesterday, our visit to Michael V. Drake's office, & the stakes of the strike laid out by Student Researcher Kung Feng. When will University of California respond to Grad Workers' wages proposals? #UAWonStrike

“It let me feel like I was a whole person again.” Ann Johnson lost her ability to talk after a stroke. On Wednesday, scientists reported a remarkable advance using AI in which her brain activity is being translated into words spoken by an avatar. nyti.ms/47Jtrxd

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…

Excited to share our work on developing a bilingual speech neuroprosthesis that decodes cortical activity into English and Spanish sentences in a person with paralysis. Out today in Nature Biomedical Engineering! nature.com/articles/s4155…

In this new study, Liu et al. examine the role of sustained neural activity in the planning and production of speech sequences. nature.com/articles/s4156…

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…

Check out our latest work developing speech decoding systems that maintain their specificity to volitional speech attempts, co-led by Alex Silva and Jessie R. Liu iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…
