NEW: No technology currently exists to repair damaged brain tissue and fully restore lost function. FRONT aims to enable millions with what is considered permanent brain damage to regain lost functions, including motor control, vision, and speech. arpa-h.gov/news-and-event…
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👇
As #neurotechnology transforms how #students learn, it’s vital we teach critical thinking about its impact. The #Education module of @ieeebrain’s #NeuroethicsFramework can help us to navigate these questions responsibly. Learn more: bit.ly/IEEEBrain-Neur… #neuroethics #neurotech
🚨 Attention #Neurotech Innovators! Now accepting proposals for #BlueprintMedTech Cycle 6! This new two-stage opportunity for #medtech device innovators includes: 🏁 $100K Sprinter Award 🚀 Up to $1.285M Optimizer Award Apply by Aug 7 ➡️ blueprintneurotech.org #Neuroscience
Millions of Americans are living with the damage caused by strokes and traumatic brain injuries. Today we launched a program in ARPA-H to restore function to the neocortex.

I recently spoke about my lab's newest sensors at @EMBLEvents's European Light Microscopy Initiative meeting 🔦 🧠 Sharing progress with the community is key to moving science forward, which is why these sensors, and all our tools, are open source ➡️ lintianlab.org/research#tools
You can learn more about the dataset at the competition link, above! We also provide a baseline algorithm and examples of how to load the data, train a model, evaluate the model, and generate a submission file on our GitHub repo: github.com/Neuroprostheti…
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…
Postdoctoral fellow Nick Card was awarded the @BWFUND 2025 Career Awards at the Scientific Interface (CASI) that supports early career researchers at the intersection of biology and the physical, computational and mathematical sciences. Congratulations @NS_Card!
I'm really excited to receive the BWF CASI! This award will help support me as I continue to develop BCIs that restore communication. Congratulations to the other recipients as well!
⏰ Deadline next week! Applications for the WIN Mentorship Mastermind Program close Friday, July 18 at 12 PM CT. We’re looking for mentors and mentees ready to grow, lead, and connect with other women in #neuromodulation. 🔗 Apply now: ow.ly/KjmR50WmsZk
Check out the new @Nature Research Briefings article “Brain implant decodes neural activity to produce expressive speech” which summarizes our recent voice-synthesis neuroprosthesis paper. It also gives a sneak peek into the story behind this paper. doi.org/10.1038/d41586…
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
