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!

Charles Greenspon and his team have shown that biomimetic microstimulation of the human somatosensory cortex can create reliable touch sensations for bionic hand control. Their project is selected as one of the 12 final nominees of the BCI Award 2023. 🧠 youtu.be/L-jAjemkLes

Friends and colleagues! My lab is eager to recruit postdocs to join us. A bit of info on the lab/position is on our website: faculty.washington.edu/aorsborn/posit… I'll be at SfN and would love to chat with folks who might be interested. Get in touch!

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…

Come join our BCI team! In this role you would get to work with our amazing BCI participants and manage ongoing projects. Apply here: cfopitt.taleo.net/careersection/…

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…

The board of the BCI Society is seeking input from members and stakeholders on the definition of a BCI. We invite all of you to answer a quick survey. #BCI #Neurotech docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

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

If you'll be at SfN we hope to see you at the traditional concert/social on Oct 6th.

Postdoctoral Scholar position is open in the Hatsopoulos Lab and Sensorimotor Bionics Group. We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work in sensorimotor neuroscience with a focus on manual dexterity in non-human primates beginning in January, 2025.

🏆 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

🌟 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.

Our group has a new paper out now in Nature BME, led by Charles Greenspon. It covers a number of updates on how we can restore tactile sensation from the hand using intracortical microstimulation (ICMS).

This was a big team effort by the labs, and especially the study participants, across three universities (The University of Chicago, UPMC, and Case Western Reserve). These results are a big step forward for using ICMS to restore tactile sensations post-injury. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Marc Schieber has published his insightful thoughts on the below paper and where it fits in the broader efforts towards dexterous neuroprosthetic hands in Nature BME: nature.com/articles/s4155…

This work is now published, what a gift on Christmas day. Check out the decade plus of work by Cortical Bionics Research Group to place stimulating electrodes to evoke sensations in the fingers of people with paralysis: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hb…

Our paper examining the #ethical and #technical requirements in clinical trials for implantable neural prostheses is out in The Lancet Digital Health today. Neural Bionics Lab iBCI Collaborative Community Chalmers University of Technology Cortical Bionics Research Group #neuroprosthetics

Check out Giacomo Valle's summary of our new paper showing the details that we can convey to BCI users through spatio-temporally patterned stimulation in somatosensory cortex. This is a great step towards restoring natural sensation from future prosthetic hands.
