Jake is an amazing person to work with!

Amazing work and fantastic progress

Rice engineer Lan Luan and a team of Rice Neuroengineering Initiative researchers have developed ultraflexible nanoelectrodes that can provide fine-grained brain stimulation. bit.ly/43A2TeW

Fun group activity at top golf— having youngest athlete enjoying the game and someone really good at it!

Many of the scientists I admire have awesome review papers on Annual Review Biomedical Engineering and I learnt a lot from these papers. Glad to have contributed our perspectives on large-scale, long-lasting recordings and hope it can help others as I was helped.

a true legend!

congrats! Omid Veiseh !

Xing Chen et al report the long-term damage by 16 Utah arrays in the visual cortex of monkeys, glued together as one plate. We observe substantial cortical damage. Other electrode types will be needed (e.g. highly flexible ones) for a visual prosthesis. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

Embarrassing moment: I was setting up auto reply but made a mistake so my mail server is sending to everyone who has emailed me in the past N years that I will be on vacation July 22-31.. apologies if you happen to receive one.

Exciting era! Congrats Omid Veiseh!

Rice Neuroengineering Initiative is hiring for a McNair Scholar in Neuroengineering! Candidates with expertise in computational and/or experimental neuroengineering are encouraged to apply. Deadline in February 15, 2024. #neurotwitter #neurojobs lnkd.in/gmc5JEPh

Going for a higher resolution: A recent 2.9 million dollar grant from NIH is helping researchers in the lab of Chong Xie improve their innovative ultraflexible nanoelectronic probes by increasing the density of the neurons sampled. Read more: news.rice.edu/news/2024/rice…

We are hiring. Multiple positions available. Appreciate RT! emdz.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

Excited to share our first system neuroscience publication, led by amazing student Hanlin Zhu Hanlin Zhu from Chong Xie's lab. Hanlin has moved across street to join Ben Hayden and Sameer Sheth for postdoc training. More to come from him! nature.com/articles/s4146…

sharing a new perspective in npj Flex Elec: Natural neural codes are high-D, but stimulation remains low-res. We advocate for high-dimensional stimulation—empowered by flexible microelectrode arrays—to more faithfully approximate population codes. 🔗 rdcu.be/eEyFJ
