980 Electrodes, 956-2246 days implanted, 11 Utah arrays, three human participants, and 6000 SEM images. Comparing damage of explanted electrodes with in-vivo performance (stimulation + recording) to understand longevity of brain computer interfaces. #BCI medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

After some lovely updates thanks to reviewer/editor feedback, this work is now published in Neuron! cell.com/article/S08966… We find monotonic reward signals in M1/PMd, and interactions of reward value with neural reach signals that correlate with an inverted-U in performance

5 years ago, on the heels of 28andMe, our team designed a new precision imaging experiment: scanning an individual’s brain throughout her entire pregnancy. We are excited to share that these findings are out today in Nature Neuroscience! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Excited to share with you our new pre-print on whole-body motor tuning! We revisited the motor homunculus using 20 microelectrode arrays placed in 8 people, to create the first comprehensive map of human motor cortex at single neuron resolution. 1/5 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨New #preprints alert!🚨 Excited to share our work on #DeepBrainStimulation of the motor thalamus to enhance speech & swallowing. This continues our research led by Lilly Tang & me, with guidance from Elvira Pirondini & Jorge Gonzalez-Martinez. 🧠1/8 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Attention neuroimagers 🧠, brain computer interface peeps 🦾, and those that just generally like science 👩‍🔬… Nikole Chetty and I will be presenting our 12ft mega poster (J1/J2) at #SfN24 on Tue, Oct 8 at 8am! Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Synchron RNEL NeuroMechatronics Lab Doug Weber Jen Collinger

Double your fun at this supersized team-poster by Nikole Chetty and Hunter Schone showcasing our latest results from our studies of the vascular ECoG signals recorded from the Synchron Stentrode BCI.

Happening tomorrow (Tuesday) morning! Posters J1 and J2.

One poster to rule them all! The 12ft megaposter tradition continues with Nikole Chetty at #SfN24 Happening now at posters J1 & J2! Previous years Society for Neuroscience (SfN) in 🧵: 2023: Kriti Kacker and Nikole Chetty 2022: Malcolm Udeozor and Hunter Schone 2019: Susan Wardle and Jessica Taubert

Come check out the 12 ft mega poster at J1&2! Join Nikole Chetty & Hunter Schone as they present their work with the Stentrode BCI examining signal quality and neuroimaging. Don't miss this in-depth (and ultrawide) look at cutting-edge neurotech! #SfN2024 *@SfNtweets Synchron

🏆 And the winner of the Brain-Computer Interface Race at CYBATHLON 2024 is…. PittCrew 🎉 Congratulations to the whole team, and a huge thank you to all the BCI teams for taking part! #BrainComputerInterface #CYBATHLON2024 maxon RNEL

This one remains a great review and some of you may have missed it. Great work by Hunter Schone et al from 2022 on Phantom limb pain.
