I'm super excited to share some results from the Science PRIMA retinal prosthesis clinical trial, including that it's exceeded its main efficacy endpoint with a mean acuity improvement of 4.6 EDTRS lines. Trial participants are almost completely blind due to macular degeneration. There are no good options available to these patients today.

The Northern Lights look good over us 😍

[U-M BME @UMBME]

Attend U-M BME’s Ph.D. application webinar to hear about our program and talk with faculty and current students. The session will be live on Friday, 11/1, from 1-4 p.m. EDT. Register here for link: https://t.co/udrTKfpqne

Interested in speech neuroprostheses? Come to the #SfN24 minisymposium organized by @HerffC and I. We have a fantastic lineup chosen to survey the many directions this field can go in: different recording modalities, languages, and behaviors (e.g. attempted vs. imagined speech).

Excited to announce that the NML team will be showcasing some amazing research at #sfn2024 @SfNtweets 🤓! Mark your calendars 🗓️ and join us as a few of our members present their groundbreaking work🧐. Stay tuned for more details☺️! @cmuneurosci @CMUMeche #research #science

[Enrico Opri (he/him) @oprienrico]

Excited to be at #Neuroscience #sfn2024 ! Come explore our lab and collaborators’ latest work on neuromodulation, DBS, innovative hardware, and behavioral markers in Parkinson's and other neurological disorders! @UMBiointerfaces @UMBME @UM_MNI

[NeuroMechatronics Lab @NeuroMechLabX]

For a “tour” on spinal reflexes head to @RefyOmar poster at #SfN24 @SfNtweets located at G16, right now 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

[Enrico Opri (he/him) @oprienrico]

Proud of my PhD student Gianna Paier for winning and presenting her work as Trainee Professional Development Awardee (TPDA)! Great way to start the week at #sfn2024 #tpda

[Luis Cubillos @lhcubillosg]

🚀 Excited to share highlights from our recent paper accepted at #NeurIPS2024! We implemented KalmanNet, a powerful new decoder for brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) that combines the best of deep learning and explainability to predict finger movements from brain activity. 🧠🧵👇

This year we are taking part in #GivingBlueday!

As a graduate student org, we provide science curriculum lessons for local high-need, low-resource elementary classrooms.

[Dan Goodman @neuralreckoning]

We made a free, open course on neuroscience for people with a machine learning / quantitative background. Get deep in computational neuroscience, or just indulge your neurocuriousity. I believe that neuro and ML can learn from each other and do better together than on their own.

[The PhD Place @ThePhDPlace]

In academia we don’t say ‘I love you’ we say ‘pass with minor corrections’, and I think that’s beautiful.

Come see us at the SHPE National Convention to learn more about Michigan BME and the Graduate Application Assistance Program! @UMengineering #UMEngin

[University of Michigan BME GAAP @BMEGAAP]

Apply to BME GAAP - a student-led initiative at the University of Michigan aimed to provide graduate school application assistance!

What kind of snow pants does a neuron wear skiing?! ⛷️ 🏔️

Ones that are made from 100% Myelin! 🤣
