sharing a new perspective in npj Flex Elec: Natural neural codes are high-D, but stimulation remains low-res. We advocate for high-dimensional stimulation—empowered by flexible microelectrode arrays—to more faithfully approximate population codes.

Excited to share our first system neuroscience publication, led by amazing student Hanlin Zhu
@SparkZhu3 from @xiechong's lab. Hanlin has moved across street to join Ben Hayden and Sameer Sheth for postdoc training. More to come from him!

Embarrassing moment: I was setting up auto reply but made a mistake so my mail server is sending to everyone who has emailed me in the past N years that I will be on vacation July 22-31.. apologies if you happen to receive one.

[Lan Luan @LuanLab]

@MCapogrosso Finally!

[Lan Luan @LuanLab]

@JeffMYau Thanks for sharing, Jeff! It must have been very hard for you and you are dealing with it with incredible courage and grace! I genuinely hope your treatment will work out well for you and I’ll be thinking of you always!

@neuroamyo I am glad reviewer 1 and 2 were able to sway the panel. I just had SS with reviewers stating I switch between S1 and M1 and caused confusions, which sway the panel. But ctrl+F of my application showed neither “M1” or “motor” ever appeared in the 200 page application..

[Lan Luan @LuanLab]

@vivianfeig congratulations! fantastic news!

Xing Chen et al report the long-term damage by 16 Utah arrays in the visual cortex of monkeys, glued together as one plate. We observe substantial cortical damage. Other electrode types will be needed (e.g. highly flexible ones) for a visual prosthesis.
