We are pleased & proud to share our latest paper, “Tonic stimulation of dorsal root ganglion results in progressive decline in recruitment of Aα/β-fibers in rats” by Jordyn Ting , Charli Hooper, & 🪷 Ashley Dalrymple, published today in Neuromodulation Journal. NeuroMechatronics Lab Carnegie Mellon Neuroscience Institute CMU Mechanical Engineering

This week, the Stanford Bio-X Undergraduate Summer Research Program featured 3 more amazing faculty talks, from Dr. Helen Blau, Dr. Jason Tucciarone, and Dr. Vivek Buch ( Vivek P. Buch, MD )!

Here's my 8.5 hour conversation with Elon Musk & Neuralink team. It is the longest podcast I've ever done! 🤯 It's a fascinating, super technical, and wide-ranging conversation. It's here on X & everywhere else, including YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=Kbk9Bi… On X, it's split up

Check out this extremely clear write-up from Alla Katsnelson on the work that Laura Driscoll, Krishna Shenoy, and I did. In a nutshell, we used dynamical systems theory to identify shared, reusable motifs in RNNs trained to perform multiple tasks. P.S. Definitely follow The Transmitter

New study out of Cynthia Chestek by Matt Mender and crew showing reanimation of simultaneous wrist and finger movements using functional electrical stimulation Michigan Neurosurgery U-M BME UMichNeurosciences biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our new study is out today in the New England Journal of Medicine! We demonstrate a speech neuroprosthesis that decodes the attempted speech of a man with ALS into text with 97.5% accuracy, enabling him to communicate with his family, friends, and colleagues in his own home. 1/9

Excited to share our NEW preprint: a "brain-to-voice" neuroprosthesis that directly synthesizes voice from neural activity with closed-loop audio feedback. It allowed a man with ALS to speak expressively by modulating intonation & sing melodies via BCI! doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… 1/

Dr. Leigh Hochberg (Leigh Hochberg), director of BrainGate (BrainGate Team), a group of scientists developing brain-computer interfaces, explains how these interfaces enable meaningful communication for ALS patients. Learn more: nej.md/itt-ep36 #Neurotechnology

Congrats to Nicholas Card Maitreyee Wairagkar David Brandman Sergey Stavisky and BrainGate Team on 2 highly impactful studies! I believe we are a big step closer to restoring speech to a large group of people with speech deficits. #BCI biorxiv.org/content/10.110… nejm.org/doi/abs/10.105…

Parastou Fatemi, MD, has joined Duke Neurosurgery in the Spine Division. She treats patients with a wide range of spinal disorders, with a focus on adult degenerative conditions and deformity. Duke Orthopaedics neurosurgery.duke.edu/news/fatemi-jo…

My department UC Davis Neurological Surgery continues to grow! We've just launched a tenure-track (or Associate-level) faculty search in spine-related human neuroengineering. This department and the wider UC Davis neurosciences community are wonderful. Please RT 🔁! recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06665

#wssfn #wssfn2024 What a brilliant meeting. So many stimulating (pun intended) clinical debates, pioneering research, and new friends (neurosurgeons, residents, medical students, researchers, even a couple of DJs) from across the world in the beautiful city of #chicago.

Dr. Al-Holou and team have a booth at the American Brain Tumor Association annual meeting this weekend to promote our incredible brain tumor clinics and how they support patients. You can learn more about them at these two links: michmed.org/JYJnr & michmed.org/PnKqZ #GoBlue

First day as a pediatric neurosurgeon UT Austin! Excited for the opportunity to help our patients and push forward cellular therapeutics for neurological disorders in the lab! Dell Medical School Pediatric Neurosciences at Dell Children’s Dell Children's

MNI is actively recruiting for 𝙨𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, seeking the best and brightest in #neuroscience to fill these roles. Please 💛 and r/t this to help us reach some great candidates! 〽️🧠 More info: michmed.org/GqG8z

Today, our team welcomed visiting professor and Stanford Neurosurgery alum, Jonathon J. Parker MD PhD, who presented his talk: Towards Biomarker Directed Deep Brain Stimulation to Treat Epilepsy. Dr. Parker is an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery and Neurosciences at Mayo Clinic Arizona.
