I could never convey the feeling of this discovery: it’s a random Tuesday and, all of a sudden, we saw a branching, treelike structure. Moreover, it’s my own brain. A brain was looking at itself, while also knowing that it was the first time anyone in the world had seen this kind of brain image; this was divine poetry
We recently obtained the highest-resolution 3D images of the human brain ever taken from outside the skull. This is the first look. Introducing Aleph, a research lab building brain interfaces for the telepathic future. (1/n)

We used ultrasound for silent speech! This was so fun to test. Seeing your own words appear on screen is a moment of magic
We used ultrasound to let you talk without making any sound. After just a month of collecting data, our model is already approaching existing silent speech modalities. We were surprised to find that it generalizes to unseen participants as well! (1/n) xitter.cf/vadi_ms/status/2074565…

then we started pushing it turned the scan data into custom velocity fields and ran VFX sims through them here is a particle sim that made the brain feel like a tree growing

A challenge I never thought I'd have: Most of our renders of the brain were too beautiful to be used, and would make people think it was fake xitter.cf/alephneuro/status/2070…

Me too! We actually shared our images with an endovascular neurosurgeon at UCSF and he was in disbelief. After we got over that, he told me how exciting this would be for all the different applications in stroke localization and vascular assessment. xitter.cf/Barthazian/status/2070…
cant wait for the doctor experts comment on this one

of course there are real challenges with the technology, challenges with which we're more familiar than anyone else in the world things like attenuation, bandwidth, aberration, how to increase the field of view

Donald ❀️ This is one of the nicest things anyone has said about us. And the pictures are so tender β€” seeing our team through your eyes @donaldjewkes is the most cracked filmmaker out there and the secret sixth member of @alephneuro
hard to put into words how special this team is the feeling of yearning for this technology is so palpable and if you ask nicely they might just scan your brain

4 years ago we reoriented our entire lives around a question: how do you make telepathy real? Yesterday we shared the most detailed scan of the living human brain. Here is the story of how we got here (1/n)

This pursuit has been difficult, damned, thrilling, exhilarating, all of the above. It has been responsible for the most divine moment of my life (below) as well as years of uncertainty. If this sounds interesting to you, we'd love to hear from you :)
