This conversation between @davideagleman.bsky.social & Sergey Stavisky––two influential voices in the field––is a great primer on where #BCI is headed and what breakthroughs can mean for patients. Well worth a listen for anyone following the future of Neurotech👇🏽 tinyurl.com/4nfr8e47

Exciting to see this paper out! Data shows episodic memory is dependent on a small number of precisely timed, transient, internally-generated states. Understanding these precise spatial and temporal dynamics is key to developing accurate and effective memory enhancement strategies 🧠

It's always rewarding to connect with trainees at events like #Sfn25 & #NER2025. In these conversations, more and more students are asking how to break into Neurotech—fortunately for them, the community is stepping up with great resources to help them navigate their paths 🧵1/4

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/

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...
