Great fun @ #BCISocial at #SfN2025 this week. Had a great turnout, met lots of new BCI researchers, as well as old friends. Thanks to our industry sponsors for making this event possible. Excited and honored to help lead this society in this time of exponential growth! @bcisociety.bsky.social

We’re pleased to welcome Science Corporation, Synchron, and Zander Labs on board as sponsors for this year's SfN Social! Thank you for helping us bring this community together in San Diego. Opportunities still available: bcisociety.org/bci-social-a... #BCISocial #SfN2025

I'm very excited to share the workshop "𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐂𝐈𝐬: 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬" which will be on November 11 at the IEEE/EMBS International Conference on Neural Engineering in San Diego! #IEEE #NER25 #neurotech #BCI #iBCI

Huge thanks to our generous sponsors — Blackrock Neurotech, Cleveland FES Center, Brain Products / Brain Vision, and CorTec — for supporting the BCI Society’s SfN Social 2025! Your partnership makes this special event possible. Learn more: bcisociety.org/bci-social-a... #BCISocial #SfN2025

Now out in @natneuro.nature.com What happens to the brain’s body map when a body-part is removed? Scanning patients before and up to 5 yrs after arm amputation, we discovered the brain’s body map is strikingly preserved despite amputation www.nature.com/articles/s41593-025-02037-7 🧵1/18

The BCI Society is excited to introduce a new, discounted membership for BCI users and their family members or caregivers. See bcisociety.org/membership/ for details.

The most recent CBRG preprint on intracortical microstimulation is now available! Over 24 combined years across 5 participants, we delivered 168 million!!! pulses of stimulation and recorded everything that happened. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

We had a great time at the @bcisociety.bsky.social meeting in Banff, Canada. We gathered almost all (@hunterschone.bsky.social?) the CBRG attendees (current and former) for the official photo. @jenpitt.bsky.social @giacomovalle.bsky.social @johndowney.bsky.social @miskarous.bsky.social

Feeling energized by science, people, and the natural beauty of Canada 🌲✨ #BCI #Neuroscience #Neurotech #NeuralBionicsLab @corticalbionics.bsky.social #Chalmers

Here’s our latest publication, from Ceci Verbaarschot and colleagues. In this study, participants controlled their own implanted BCI brain stimulation patterns to create customized sensations. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Atlanta friends, I want to extend a special invitation to have you join us for a really unique event we're hosting on May 7 called "Wired Lives: Personal Stories of Brain Implants": neuro.gatech.edu/wired-lives-...

Are you …Ready for It? In this Era of neurotechnology, we wrote this TIMEly review of the technological and biological failure modes of implanted neural interfaces and how to overcome these challenges, Swiftly published in Bioelectronic Medicine. PS I’m so proud of these figures. rdcu.be/eduek

@NIH Research Matters featuring our work on #bionic touch in #iBCI @corticalbionics.bsky.social www.nih.gov/news-events/...

Is our brain infinitely flexible or constrained? Oby & colleagues cleverly uses BCIs to test what cortical activity can/can't be generated quickly. Highly recommend! www.nature.com/articles/s41... And you can get a tl;dr + my takes on why this is exciting here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New in @science.org our study "Tactile edges and motion via patterned microstimulation of the human somatosensory cortex". 🦾 🧠 ⚡ science.org/doi/10.1126/... Interesting related perspective by prof. Paul Marasco science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New Deadline: Thursday, January 23, 2025 This extension applies to abstract submissions for individual oral and poster presentations for the upcoming BCI Meeting. Learn more at bcisociety.org/bci-meeting/...

Our paper examining the #ethical and #technical requirements in clinical trials for implantable neural prostheses is out in #LancetDigitalHealth today. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... Neural Bionics Lab Chalmers University of Technology @corticalbionics.bsky.social #neuroprosthetics

Our new publication in Human Brain Mapping is a roadmap to implanting stimulation electrodes to evoke tactile sensations on the fingers of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) users. We share the plan and results for 5 study participants across a decade at 2 sites. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Can the motor system use sensory expectations to prepare for unexpected events? Excited to share my latest work with @andpru.bsky.social – where we establish that sensory expectations shape neural population dynamics in motor circuits! 🧵 and paper below 1/

Marc Schieber has published his insightful thoughts on the below paper and where it fits in the broader efforts towards dexterous neuroprosthetic hands in Nature BME: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I'm excited to share a recent publication from our @corticalbionics.bsky.social research group, led by the team at the University of Chicago. Restored sensation is so important for improving prosthetic hands for people with motor impairments, and our latest efforts yielded some impressive results.

Check out our new paper 'Evoking stable and precise tactile sensations via multi-electrode intracortical microstimulation of the somatosensory cortex' on @NatureBiomedicalEngineering 🦾 🧠 ⚡ LINK: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The BCI Society is now accepting abstract submissions for the upcoming 11th International BCI Meeting. Submit now at bcisociety.org.

BCIs list! Still finding folks on here so please message me if you'd like to be added.

There's a great new story out today in Nature about the state of sensory neuroprosthetic research. It features one of our participants from the University of Chicago and glimpses of exciting research from around the world. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Fun to see this place coming a bit more alive! I tried my hand at a starter pack for neural engineering & computationally-leaning (systems) neuroscience. Super not exhaustive, so if you want to be added (or removed), just ping me. I'm still working on finding folks here. go.bsky.app/Ty3ftme

How can we train a BCI to produce precise hand movements? Our paper published today in Neuron provides one possibility! We show that the abundant hand posture-related information in the grasping circuit can be used for precise grasp control. www.cell.com/neuron/abstr...

When you fail to perform at your best right when it matters the most, what's going on in your brain? We can now provide an explanation: Exceptionally high stakes interfere with the neural signals of motor preparation. I'd love to hear - what do you think causes it? sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The call for #Cosyne25 workshop proposals is now live! cosyne.org/workshops-call Deadline: October 4th, 2024 please repost!

A lot of what we do involves producing a sequence of movements, but how the CNS does that remains elusive. A recent @elife.bsky.social paper by Mehrdad Kashefi, @andpru.bsky.social et al provides compellign behavioural evidence that we plan a few movements ahead tinyurl.com/2j22x99n #neuroskyence

New preprint! Humans and machines dynamically interact in neural interfaces. Can we analyze & predict these interactions? We solve this w/ an interdisciplinary approach led by Maneeshika Madduri as part of a close collab with Sam Burden @ UW www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We are seeking a postdoc to work in sensorimotor neuroscience with brain-computer interfaces (BCI). The projects will focus on dexterous hand control through neural recordings and restoration of sensation to neural stimulation.

Check out our first paper, out today, from the Cortical Bionics Research Group's (@corticalbionics.bsky.social) multisite brain-computer interface (BCI) clinical trial for people with upper-limb paralysis at UChicago and @pitt.bsky.social . 1/9 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Attending SfN2023? Be sure to add the Women In Neural Engineering (WINE) Symposium to your calendar! Panel discussion with industry/academia experts on negotiation + social hour with snacks and drinks after. Sunday 6:30pm, Renaissance Hotel rooms 10/11. 🍷🧠💪

Friends and colleagues! My lab is eager to recruit postdocs to join us. A bit of info on the lab/position is on our website: faculty.washington.edu/aorsborn/pos... I'll be at SfN and would love to chat with folks who might be interested. Get in touch!
