New work out in @SpringerNature @natBME Nature BME! Blurring the lines between BCI and DBS to think creatively about new therapies, always with people at the heart of it all.
Happy to share our latest study led by @TantanBrainMan and our team @UCSF out today in Nature BME! Movement Responsive AI programmed BCI-aDBS improves naturalistic motion and reduces excessive movements at rest in PD. nature.com/articles/s4155…
Excited to share a preprint of work done together with folks from UCSF (@littleneuro), UC Berkeley, and U of Washington, using neural decoding and adaptive DBS to selectively amplify movement when intended and reduce dyskinesia when it isn't medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

More exciting news from the Wallis Lab: we're teaming up w/ Dr. Tirin Moore & Dr. Krishna Shenoy to study attention & decision-making! 2 postdoc positions are open: 1 @Stanford, 1 @UCBerkeleyNeuro. Best part? Playing with @neuropixels for PRIMATES! Please RT & spread the word!🐵
To maintain calibration, our motor system adapts to changes in the body (e.g., fatigue) and environment (e.g., a windy day). But why do some people adapt a lot, while others do not adapt at all? We took a stab at this question in our recent preprint. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Our manuscript posted on medRxiv demonstrates the potential for simultaneous classification of gestures on both hands using bilateral microelectrode recordings: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
