Tomorrow you can see 60 Minutes' coverage of sensory restoration in neuroprosthetics from Cortical Bionics Research Group and Case Western Reserve. youtu.be/03Kn1emeSQw

If you're interested in what we're doing at Cortical Bionics Research Group to improve brain-controlled neuroprosthetic hands and arms, I'll be presenting some of our work on a Blackrock Neurotech webinar tomorrow at 11 CT: attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/11965…


ICMS to human S1 evokes touch sensations experienced over a spatially restricted patch of skin. We take a deep dive into the size, distribution, reliability, and neural determinants of these so-called projected fields. Charles M. Greenspon & Cortical Bionics Research Group. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you missed it the first time, check out the piece entitled "feeling of feeling," featuring work from the team, to be rebroadcast tonight on 60 Minutes!




Our paper on S1-M1 connectivity in closed-loop intracortical BCI is out today. You can see the summary from last year below. This was a big effort from the Cortical Bionics Research Group team including 3 dedicated study participants and a many researchers. nature.com/articles/s4146…


In a new perspective from Nature Communications, UChicago's Giacomo Valle proposes using neuromorphic technology, which mimics the natural behavior of neurons and synapses, to develop more natural human-machine interfaces in neuroprosthetics nature.com/articles/s4146…


After 10 years of implanting Utah Arrays in 5 participants with spinal cord injuries… we provide a methodological roadmap to target and evoke tactile finger sensations using intracortical microstimulation. John Downey Robert Gaunt Jen Collinger tinyurl.com/S1roadmap 🧵1/7





🌟 Exciting Opportunity Alert! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce an open position for a Postdoctoral Researcher in #neuroprosthetics and #iBCI at the Neural Bionics Lab Chalmers University of Technology This role will involve cutting-edge research aimed at developing innovative neuroprosthetic solutions.
