Kathy is too busy getting the amazing #NCMCro program ready and hasn't yet claimed this profile. I'll take advantage of the chance to promo this nice NU press release on our collaborative research (news.feinberg.northwestern.edu/2024/01/08/bui…) and remind you to look for me @LeeEugene57...
Welcome to 2024 - it's time for me to do what I should have done last May -- turn @PresNCM over to Kathy Cullen, who now is capably is (pres)iding over NCM! I'll become "LeeEugene57". It was a terrific 7 years -- Kathy, all the best. See you all in Dubrovnik!
This and the Blackrock social were the two reasons I was sorry to miss SFN. Any chance I was still represented in spirit (pun intended)?
Overflow crowd at the @BciSociety social tonight - evidence of a booming field. The tradition of cocktail menu drinks named after prominent BCI researchers continues. 🍹… and my career goal remains unfulfilled 😜
My bike-rider dad is following up his 90-mile birthday ride with a 2-day, 100-mile charity ride (amigocentre.org/amigo-bike-mic…) and looking for sponsors. I thought it would be fun to surprise him with a few he’s not expecting. See details below – tell him I sent you!

This is one of a number of exciting new studies that Xuan is completing. This one compares several methods for "aligning" the latent signals computed from M1 for a remarkably broad range of datasets from several monkeys and tasks. Nice implications for BCI that we hope to test.
Our paper “Using adversarial networks to extend brain computer interface decoding accuracy over time” has just been published on eLife (elifesciences.org/articles/84296). In this work, we tried to address the problems with the long-term stability of intracortical BCI systems.
The world is taking notice of our loss of @slimanjbensmaia: nytimes.com/2023/08/22/sci…. Don't forget to add your Sliman Stories: docs.google.com/presentation/d…
Kerry Ledoux told me yesterday how much she, Cecily and Maceo have enjoyed hearing the wonderful stories of @slimanjbensmaia in the past few days. I agreed to post a Google Slides document to collect them. If you have a good story to share, post it here: docs.google.com/presentation/d…
Word has quickly gotten around about the untimely death of @slimanjbensmaia. I wanted to pass on a couple more bits of information, including a gofundme for Kerry and kids (gofundme.com/f/sliman-bensm…) and a photo album (photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNz…). Add your favorites!
