1/N How do neural dynamics in motor cortex interact with those in subcortical networks to flexibly control movement? I’m beyond thrilled to share our work on this problem, led by Eric Kirk @videtide1 with help from Kangjia Cai! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Build the next generation of communication BCIs with us—now hiring a new postdoc! Application here: docs.google.com/forms/d/1IWbGv…
Came across this passage from Vernon Brooks. We make a similar argument in our latest paper. This issue has been lurking in the background for many years …
Data and code to make contact with our offline decoding results (at 100 users in x-axis of scaling curves)! github.com/facebookresear…
We’re thrilled to see our advanced ML models and EMG hardware — that transform neural signals controlling muscles at the wrist into commands that seamlessly drive computer interactions — appearing in the latest edition of @Nature. Read the story: nature.com/articles/s4158… Find…
After sitting on our remarkable neural AI research for several years, it's out now in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158…
A remarkable essay by Thomas Browne, published in 1658. “Hydriotaphia, Urn Burial, or, a Discourse of the Sepulchral Urns lately found in Norfolk.” penelope.uchicago.edu/hydrionoframes…
An excellent introduction. Written 40 years ago, but feels fresh and relevant to today’s big questions and debates.
20 years and 14 BrainGate participants - our latest preprint delivers the first systematic look at Utah array longevity, stability & decoding accuracy in people! 1/7 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Our new preprint describes a multimodal intracortical brain-computer interface that a man with ALS has used at home, independently, almost every day for >19 months. It decodes both speech and cursor control to enable him to communicate and use his computer. Here’s a quick tour👇
This is the book an astute Martian would write about the human condition. Frequently flawed, occasionally obscure, but profoundly penetrating.
Alex, our second participant, controls a virtual robot hand with his mind to play rock, paper, scissors against his uncle.
Out today in @Nature: we show that individual neurons have diverse tuning to a decision variable computed by the entire population, revealing a unifying geometric principle for the encoding of sensory and dynamic cognitive variables. nature.com/articles/s4158…
I'm thrilled to announce that our work to develop the Neuropixels-NHP 1.0 neural recording probe is now out in print in Nature Neuroscience. nature.com/articles/s4159…
