Thrilled and grateful to share our paper out today in @Nature (rdcu.be/fbd7J). We used a brain machine interface (brain computer interface, #BCI) to causally test the origin of the high-gamma band of local field potentials #LFP. See explanation by @TH_Alec_Lei below
🎉 Excited to share our new paper in Nature: “Active Dissociation of Intracortical Spiking and High Gamma Activity.” 🧠 Huge thanks to my advisors first: @SlutzkyLab @joshuaiglaser Paper link: nature.com/articles/s41586-0… Here are some digests that walk you through the results 👇🏼

NEWS: Massive budget cuts for US science proposed again by Trump administration "It's an extinction-level event for science". The US government is proposing massive cuts to almost every branch of science, from NASA to the National Institutes of Health. NSF would completely eliminate the social, economic and behavioral sciences directorate. This would decimate the world's leading scientific system. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Update! Now out in print, with much more scientific details on representational plasticity and stability with neurofeedback that allows for long-term BCI control. cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092… This study would not have been posssible if not for the enduring spirt of BCI participants
!! New iBCI paper!! Using ECoG, we studied the interplay between representational stability and plasticity of a repertoire of simple mvmts. Despite drift, we could translate these principles for BCI control of a robotic arm, with high proficiency and stability for 7mos (1/n)

The NIH’s new imposed standard indirect cost rate threatens life-saving brain and behavior research that benefits millions of Americans. SfN, with other scientific organizations, urge reversal of this policy and implore Congress to protect critical research infrastructure. Read the full statement: bit.ly/4jVJnCL

NIH funding supported : *** 412,041 jobs *** *** $92.89 billion in new economic activity*** *** $2.46 for every NIH $1 spent.*** We are a $100B industry. Let's act like it ! How about, at a bare minimum, we all just call our congressional reps??

With this work we demonstrate that neurotechnology can be tailored to change single neuron properties thereby improving motoneuron function in a human motoneuron disease. This opens totally new avenues for the therapeutic use of neurotechnologies in neurodegenerative diseases 1/2

Eighty years ago today, over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army. 1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over. Today, we all remember. We must keep remembering.

(2/2) While we read the paper by @JTRobinsonLab colleagues with interest, it is important to clarify that standard EEG, fMRI, PET recordings, and standard, open-loop brain stimulation like DBS and tDCS, are not considered BCIs by the community at large.

(1/2) In 2024, the BCI community formulated a working definition of BCIs (bcisociety.org/bci-definitio…), which aimed to clearly distinguish BCIs from technologies that do not change the ongoing interactions between brain and environment.

Our group has a new paper out now in Nature BME, led by Charles Greenspon. It covers a number of updates on how we can restore tactile sensation from the hand using intracortical microstimulation (ICMS).
