Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery (@umichneuro) and Biomedical Engineering (@UMBME). I study brain-computer interfaces, tweets are my own
Thrilled to bring the upcoming brain-computer interface trial to the Great Lakes area and @UMich.
BCI News: @umichmedicine has been selected as the 3rd site for an upcoming national clinical trial for the @paradromics Connexus Brain-Computer Interface. @matthew_willsey will serve as site principal investigator in Ann Arbor. Read more: michmed.org/XWmwm
Excited to welcome @prateekpinchi to the lab! Prateek earned BS in neuroscience & data sci at UMich, now pursuing MD/PhD. PhD interests: human BCIs for motor function & speech restoration, neural decoding algorithms, ML-driven approaches to enhance real-time BCI for mainstream…
Congratulations Dr. Matthew Willsey 👏👏We look forward to seeing your impactful contributions to Connexus®️ BCI (Brain-computer interface)!! @umichnero @matthew_willsey
Paradromics Inc. has officially added the University of Michigan as the third site for its “Connect‑One” clinical evaluation of the Connexus® brain-computer interface (BCI). Dr. Matthew Willsey will serve as site investigator! Read More Here: paradromics.com/news/paradromi…
Build the next generation of communication BCIs with us—now hiring a new postdoc! Application here: docs.google.com/forms/d/1IWbGv…
Last night, BME hosted our student hackathon as part of the Summer Workshops @ Michigan. Today, we’re launching our session with Matthew Willsey, Assistant Professor, Neurosurgery and Biomedical Engineering.
The first in-human recording using the wireless BCI from Paradromics was temporarily implanted at @umichmedicine in May. This technology aims to restore essential functions lost due to injury or disease. michiganmedicine.org/news-release/u…

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👇
We're excited to announce the Brain-to-Text '25 competition, with a new intracortical speech neuroscience dataset and $9,000 in prizes generously provided by @BlackrockNeuro_!. Can you do better than us at decoding speech-related neural activity into text? kaggle.com/competitions/b…
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…

Deep dive just dropped on the latest from @neuralink team led by @elonmusk @djseo — worth a watch. I am honored to be working alongside these amazing engineers to make a neural interface product that will soon help millions. As a neurosurgeon, one of the great frustrations is…
Watch the latest update from the Neuralink team.
On Saturday, we celebrated our residency graduation, honoring our outstanding chief residents: @dan_herrick_md, @rmjamiolkowski, @adelawu, & Dr. Silvia Vaca! Congrats & best wishes as you embark on your next adventures! 🎓✨ @MichaelLimMD @StanfordMed
Congratulations @AyobamiWard on winning the basic science resident research award for your work improving the specificity and reducing the fatiguability of FES! @umichneuro
This is a digital voice-box for a man with paralysis. It translates his intention to speak into sounds with the timing latencies of able-bodied people. @Maitreyee_W made this incredible work happen and has set a new benchmark for the field.
Our brain-to-voice synthesis brain-computer interface paper was published in @Nature today! This neuroprosthesis synthesized the voice of a man with ALS instantaneously, enabling him to ‘speak’ flexibly and modulate the prosody of his BCI-voice. 1/7 Paper: rdcu.be/eqH3C
I’m very honored to join the remarkable @McKnightFdn Scholars community! With bonus joy to see so many friends in this year’s cohort (and amongst prior awardees - yay lifetime community and meetings!). mcknight.org/news-ideas/202…
Congratulations to this year's chiefs, Drs. Katherine Holste, Whitney Muhlestein, and Sara Saleh, on completing seven remarkable years of residency. We look forward to celebrating your numerous accomplishments and impacts in Neurosurgery and beyond. Thank you for your exceptional…
