Excited to release a preprint about MINT! MINT is a highly accurate & very general BCI decoder that uses statistical constraints inspired by emerging scientific observations regarding neural geometries. Co-authors John Cunningham, Qi Wang, @MarkChurchland https://t.co/vrjB6fNaAj

@andpru @MarkChurchland Thank you!

@JonAMichaels @MarkChurchland Thank you! Lol, yes they were a huge help.

[Eric Trautmann @EricMTrautmann]

I'm excited to announce our preprint for the Neuropixels 1.0-NHP probe. This represents a large-scale collaborative effort to develop high-density electrodes for neural recording in large animal models like nonhuman primates. https://t.co/z5hv70VZKc

[Eric Trautmann @EricMTrautmann]

Out now! Exciting work from @najabam with @joshuaiglaser @Perkins_SM @shadlen @MarkChurchland @AmematsroElom and John Cunningham

Had a great time at #NEBEC2022. Thank you to chair @dougweberlab for an awesome neural engineering session!

[Doug Weber @dougweberlab]

Thoroughly enjoyed the talks by Dr. Riki Banerjee (@synchroninc), @CohenKarniLab, @MaromBikson, @Perkins_SM, & Mary Kate Dwyer in the Neural Eng session at the #NEBEC2022 meeting yesterday. They covered SoA neural electrodes, BCI decoders, TBI, & neuromod for PASC, aka long COVID

So excited for the Neural Latents Workshop today!! 😁

Check out the full video demo in which MINT estimates a subject’s neural state and decodes velocity as the subject navigates a virtual environment. Paper in preparation – stay tuned! (4/4)

I designed a neural decode algorithm (MINT) with @MarkChurchland. Very excited to team up with @BlackrockNeuro_ who will use MINT to restore movement to patients with paralysis! Huge thanks to collaborators @schroeder_ke, John Cunningham, and Qi Wang. Video demo in thread (1/4)

We are teaming up with @Columbia's neural decoder MINT, which will be integrated into the MoveAgain software, enabling patients' thoughts to be translated more optimally into prosthetic movements: https://t.co/C6Lzm8MBMA

[Sean Perkins @Perkins_SM]

This assumption enables accurate real-time neural state estimation in a probabilistic framework and provides a straightforward, nonlinear mapping from neural state to intended movement. (3/4)

[Mark Churchland @MarkChurchland]

Pleased to see MINT on the road to someday helping patients. MINT is a novel BMI decoding algorithm that leverages recent findings regarding trajectory geometry. Congrats to @Perkins_SM, @schroeder_ke, J. Cunningham, Qi Wang. Thxs @chethan for NLB'21. Explanatory video to follow.

[Karen Schroeder @schroeder_ke]

This is a great analysis of our paper! And I love the analogy of someone shouting in a foreign language to get out of the way of a flood. Decoders based upon incorrect models (the wrong lang.) might let you take action (run), but they're missing a lot of valuable info @Perkins_SM

[Sean Perkins @Perkins_SM]

@schroeder_ke @MarkChurchland Thank you!

[Sean Perkins @Perkins_SM]

So happy to see this out in the world! I had a lot of fun working on this project with my amazing colleagues @schroeder_ke, Qi Wang, and @MarkChurchland.

[Karen Schroeder @schroeder_ke]

After slow-cooking for 3 years, you know it's tender and delicious. Finally out and about: https://t.co/pfCUvUPFXi

@Fran_Sacadura Thanks Francisco!

[Sean Perkins @Perkins_SM]

@MargaretCondeE @MarkChurchland Thank you Margaret!

[Francisco Sacadura @Fran_Sacadura]

Congrats to @Perkins_SM for developing MINT, a new neural decoding algorithm that will enable high performance, ultrafast prosthetic control!

[Margaret Conde Paredes (MCP) @Margaret_Conde_]

Very exciting news!!! Congrats @Perkins_SM and @MarkChurchland for getting us closer to restoring movement in patients!
