Extremely proud to announce that our paper on spinal cord stimulation to restore sensation in people with lower-limb amputation is out in Nature Biomedical Engineering!

Time to revisit a 40-yr-old theory on brain reorganization We longitudinally scanned patients with planned hand amputations and see highly stable hand and face cortical representations before and after arm amputation Plasticity Lab Chris Baker 🧵1/13 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

First publication in 2024! A News & Views article in Nature Biomedical Engineering on sentient prosthetic limbs. You can check it out at nature.com/articles/s4155… or ask me for a copy if you can't access it ;)

How do you know if something is wet/dry? Humans have no dedicated sensor for humidity. Instead, we rely -mainly- on thermal cues. Do the test: sit on a cold bench, your first reaction is: The bench is Wet! @ploumitsakou, Muheim Jonathan, Silvestro Micera, Francesco Iberite , @thermosenselab

1/7 For the past decade, our team at Meta Reality Labs (previously CTRL-labs) has been dedicated to developing a neuromotor interface. Our goal is to address the Human Computer Interaction challenge of providing effortless, intuitive, and efficient input to computers.

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

Specifically, excited to share that I’ve started a new role as assistant professor at CWRU Biomedical Engineering Case Western Reserve and have joined the Human Fusions team. Get ready for some awesome science.

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/

If you are attending SfN in Chicago this year, join our nano symposium on Oct 5th at 1 pm. We have a stellar lineup with Giacomo Valle Rochelle Ackerley, @rochelleackerley.bsky.social Stanisa Raspopovic Luke Osborn Robert Gaunt Laura Crucianelli Muheim Jonathan Natalija Katic Secerovic and others I could not find on X :) #neuroscience

Introducing our new paper, officially out in J Neural Engineering: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… The Phantom Menace:“A preliminary study exploring the effects of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation on spinal excitability and phantom limb pain in people with a transtibial amputation”

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…

🤖🧠NOW OUT IN PNAS🧠🤖 Language models show many surprising behaviors. E.g., they can count 30 items more easily than 29 In Embers of Autoregression, we explain such effects by analyzing what LMs are trained to do pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Major updates since the preprint! 1/n

This work is now published in Brain Stimulation. Check it out: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
