What does "Human-centered neural engineering and AI" mean? It means prioritizing the patient across the entire pipeline: Discovery, Design, and Delivery of neuro-engineering treatments for psychiatric disorders. Join me to discuss at @embs.org #NER25 hosted by @onemindaccelerator.bsky.social

We are proud to award $18M to four new Discovery Research teams exploring neuromodulation and brain circuits in #Bipolar 🧠📈 🔗bit.ly/48M1TKP 🎙️ Hear from Daniel Pham, PhD, and the teams about their innovative projects 👇

How mood states shift in the brain remains one of psychiatry’s biggest mysteries. With generous support from @bipolardiscoveries.org, our @sinaibrain.bsky.social team will apply cutting-edge techniques to map these transitions—aiming to build the most precise understanding of bipolar disorder yet.

Must-read #NYBCI25 coverage by @neurotechnology.substack.com in @forbes.com. My key takeaway on cognitive BCI: Our biggest limiting factor isn't tech—it's fundamental scientific understanding. We can’t advance the tech until we define the disorder. Basic research must lead the way!

What does it take to move neuroengineering breakthroughs into real-world impact? Our workshop at @embs.org #NER25 hosted by @onemindaccelerator.bsky.social, will explore how research, startups, and investment can come together to advance mental health care. neuro.embs.org/2025/satellite-workshops/

"It takes a village!" and I'm incredibly grateful to be a part of this one. It was inspiring to witness the growing community driving cutting-edge #BCI research from the bench to real life at #NYBCI25 Here’s to building the future of #neurotechnology, together. 🧠⚡

Excited to be speaking at #NYBCI25 this weekend, alongside so many leaders in #Neurotech and #BCI. It’s rare to have such diverse perspectives in one place, and I’m looking forward to the dialogue that emerges from bringing them together to advance the field. www.nybci.com/event/2886b6...

I left the 2025 @onemindorg.bsky.social music festival feeling inspired by the advances in mental health research and awareness that, together, are cracking the future of care wide open. Proud to be part of this community alongside peers like @maryamshanechi.bsky.social & @claudialugo.bsky.social!

Need reality check on where brain-computer interface technology stands today? 🧠💻 This insightful conversation from @wired.com offers an accessible and grounded introduction to the field, covering what's possible now and some of the challenges that lie ahead.

This study establishes how aperiodic activity, a ubiquitous signal linked to neural noise, develops in localized brain regions and illuminates the development of prefrontal control during adolescence in the development of attention and memory.

How is prefrontal neural activity refined as we age? Out today in @nathumbehav.nature.com‬! This study, from Elizabeth Johnson, uncovers how subtle changes in neural 'noise' impact our attention, memory, and cognition through development. Proud to have contributed! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
