Austin-based Paradromics inserted its brain implant in a person—briefly—in an early test of its technology. It's a step toward a longer trial of the device, which the company hopes to launch by the end of the year. wired.com/story/paradrom…

📢 Heads-up to the neuro-ML/BCI community that we'll launch the Brain-to-Text '25 competition in ~a month, and it'll run through Dec. 31. More intracortical electrodes! More varied utterances! More... speechy? Rumor even has it there'll be cash prizes this year Stay tuned...

A major step forward for #brain-computer interfaces: the first human #implant of a high-bandwidth device is complete. The goal? Restoring communication for people with paralysis, one thought at a time. Read more about it at now at Quartz: bit.ly/4dINHT8 #BCI #neurotech

.Matt Mender at BCI Society showing how nonlinear dynamical systems can be used to understand latent manifolds in finger movements and how these insights could advance our decoding systems. Great Job!

HAPPENING NOW: Joey Costello discussing why RNN decoders can perform robust decoding in the presence of noise and discussing prelim observations from an intraop study of cortical-cortical evoked potentials recorded on ecog and MEAs (>420 channels)

A paper from my postdoc is out! nature.com/articles/s4146… How does the premotor cortex reuse the neural representation of single finger movements for simultaneous, multi-finger movements? TLDR: Ensemble activity for simultaneous movements can be explained by linear summation of

I am incredibly thankful to the BrainGate Team and our research participants for being true pioneers and attempting combinatorial, unnatural finger movements for hours for this basic neuroscience study.

A man with a severe speech disability is able to speak expressively and sing using a brain implant that translates his neural activity into words almost instantly. go.nature.com/4mXv8yM

Great to see this work published: summation and normalization for individuated multi-effectors. Excited to see more great work from rice-npl.com Congratulations Nishal P. Shah

Our brain-to-voice synthesis brain-computer interface paper was published in nature today! This neuroprosthesis synthesized the voice of a man with ALS instantaneously, enabling him to ‘speak’ flexibly and modulate the prosody of his BCI-voice. 1/7 Paper: rdcu.be/eqH3C
