@SergeyStavisky Thanks Sergey!

[Maxime Verwoert @MaximeVerwoert]

Can we move beyond the motor cortex for speech neuroprosthetics? We've explored just this question in our paper published today in Cell Reports!🧠

[Maxime Verwoert @MaximeVerwoert]

Our speech presentation work has now been published in Communications Biology!
Can this be a start to create a more flexible speech BCI based on differential representations of speech and anatomical areas?

@ju_berezutskaya Thanks Julia! See you soon at the Stim-assist forum:)

📜New preprint!📜 Speech neuroprosthetic research has focused primarily on the sensorimotor cortical surface, but what if this region is damaged?❌ What are potential alternative areas for speech BCIs?🧠 Let’s explore this!👇 1/6

@SergeyStavisky Thank you!😊

[Maxime Verwoert @MaximeVerwoert]

@AntonioLozanoDL Thank you Antonio!!

[Maxime Verwoert @MaximeVerwoert]

As always, the complete (raw!) dataset is freely available! Check out our preprint, which contains the links to the dataset and code as well: https://t.co/RfErfPoMGx 6/6

[Maxime Verwoert @MaximeVerwoert]

The most accurate and consistent results come from bilateral auditory regions, followed by motor regions ((sub)central sulcus), the supramarginal cortex and parts of the insula. These results highlight the potential of reaching the sulcal depth for speech neuroprostheses! 5/6

@Maitreyee_W @NS_Card @ca_rrina @neuroleigh @DrDavidBrandman @SergeyStavisky Wow, this is truly amazing! Many congratulations!! Very excited to read both papers:)

[Maxime Verwoert @MaximeVerwoert]

The motor representation of speech has gotten a lot of attention for speech BCIs lately, but what about non-motor speech representations? How are they all distributed across the brain? We've explored exactly that in our new preprint! https://t.co/vDXKpZIzye

[Christian Herff @HerffC]

Speaking involves the coordination of searching for the right words, planning muscle movement and predicting the resulting sound. @maximeverwoert's new preprint explores how these speech representations—semantic, articulatory, and acoustic—are mapped across the entire brain. 1/5

Can we still decode movement without an intact motor cortex? 🤔

[Maarten Ottenhoff @MC_Ottenhoff]

New publication! We decode movement from non-motor brain areas using sEEG. We specifically removed all contact in the (sensori-)motor cortex and find no drop in performance. Read it here!

[Maxime Verwoert @MaximeVerwoert]

A great reminder on our walls everyday to be grateful to all the participants that give us their time and effort to advance science!❤️

[Christian Herff @HerffC]

We are incredibly fortunate to work with our amazing volunteers. @MaximeVerwoert made this wonderful poster to celebrate our first 50 participants.

[Angelique C Paulk @ACPaulk]

New papers on intracranial electrode localization in humans from us and others!
1. SEEGAtlas, by @ZelmannRina https://t.co/haTQp64Uoz
2. A modular multi-software package protocol to localize electrodes in 100's of patients at MGH in the Cash lab!

[Maxime Verwoert @MaximeVerwoert]

Can we use global motor dynamics for transfer learning? Check out the details of our latest work!

[Maarten Ottenhoff @MC_Ottenhoff]

New preprint! We have identified global motor dynamics in humans, predictive of movement across tasks and across participants with non-overlapping electrodes. Here is what we did [1/🧵]: https://t.co/x9KY3a3XaS #bci #neuroscience #neurotech #science
