Nature research paper: An instantaneous voice-synthesis neuroprosthesis https://go.nature.com/4kLPolK

José del R. Millán of @utexasece.bsky.social is using a gentle electrical nudge to the spine to accelerate the learning process for BCIs www.ece.utexas.edu/news/jolt-in...

A man with a severe speech disability is able to speak expressively and sing using a brain implant that translates his neural activity into words almost instantly. https://go.nature.com/4dV6avS

We had the opportunity to perform the first in-human implantation of a high-capacity brain-computer interface by Paradromics - a big step forward in BCI innovation. Video: michmed.org/3GWYw

Thank you @scifri.bsky.social team for having me.

Today on the podcast, two experts discuss recent advances in brain-computer interfaces that have enabled people with paralysis to move virtual objects and communicate through speech using only their thoughts. Listen here 🎧: pod.link/73329284/epi...

Tune in to today as host Flora Lichtman, Sergey Stavisky, and I discuss brain-computer interfaces. Hear how BCIs could enable people with paralysis to control virtual quadcopters with their thoughts and restore communication w/ attempted speech. www.sciencefriday.com/segments/bra...

Come see Nishal’s poster today at #cosyne2025 (Session 2, 2-051)! We’ve added a per-trial inferred bias to LFADS, boosting interpretability by turning multistable dynamics into contextual ones. Less murky, more meaningful with many practical applications such as denoising data.

Great article by Hannah Mackay at the Detroit News on BCIs. Exciting time for BCI research; proud to be part of it. Special thanks to Jaimie Henderson and to coauthors at @stanfordnsurg.bsky.social and BrainGate2 team. Honored also to be mentioned with my former PhD mentor Cindy Chestek.

A study in Nature Medicine reports that a surgically implanted brain–computer interface can detect and decode finger movements in a person with paralysis, allowing them to play a video game#Medskyky 🧪

Delighted to announce that the FDA has granted us approval for an IDE that allows chronic implantation of Blackock arrays for investigational use. Eager to advance our iBCI research at UMich. Details forthcoming

We celebrate the arrival of Frank Willett, PhD, who joins the department as an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery. Dr. Willett previously worked as a research scientist in the Neural Prosthetics Translational Lab, where he will continue as co-director: stan.md/frank-willett

Researchers have developed a device that let a 69-year-old man with paralysis fly a virtual drone using only his thoughts. https://go.nature.com/3E4es6Q

A brain-computer interface enabled a person with tetraplegia to control a virtual quadcopter using thought, showcasing potential advancements in remote work and recreational activities. doi.org/g82h63

A BCI controlling virtual fingers is used to fly a high-performance virtual quadcopter. BCIs could allow people with paralysis to eventually play multiplayer video games with gamers who use video game controllers. @stanfordnsurg.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
