Our new preprint describes a multimodal intracortical brain-computer interface that a man with ALS has used at home, independently, almost every day for >19 months. It decodes both speech and cursor control to enable him to communicate and use his computer. Here’s a quick tour👇

[Nick Card @NS_Card]

We're excited to announce the Brain-to-Text '25 competition, with a new intracortical speech neuroscience dataset and $9,000 in prizes generously provided by @BlackrockNeuro_!. Can you do better than us at decoding speech-related neural activity into text?

Our brain-to-voice synthesis brain-computer interface paper was published in @Nature today! This neuroprosthesis synthesized the voice of a man with ALS instantaneously, enabling him to ‘speak’ flexibly and modulate the prosody of his BCI-voice. 1/7

📢 Heads-up to the neuro-ML/BCI community that we'll launch the Brain-to-Text '25 competition in ~a month, and it'll run through Dec. 31.

More intracortical electrodes! More varied utterances! More... speechy?

Rumor even has it there'll be cash prizes this year

Stay tuned...

@matthew_willsey Thank you @matthew_willsey!! It's been awesome seeing your team embrace BRAND and build on it

[Yahia Ali @_yahiaali]

And if this is your first time hearing of BRAND, check out our JNE paper, where we explained the design philosophy and did a deep dive on system validation: https://t.co/Dm4nWcpprv

[Yahia Ali @_yahiaali]

Nearly two years ago, we open-sourced BRAND, our real-time software platform for BCIs. Since then, our community of devs has grown far beyond @BrainGateTeam, so we're starting a Discord server to host it. All are welcome! https://t.co/IDhb0dR5EY

I’m excited to present our new preprint!
An intuitive, bimanual, high-throughput QWERTY touch typing neuroprosthesis for people with tetraplegia.

[Chaofei @FanChaofei]

4 yrs ago, I jumped from AI into Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) research—with almost zero neuroscience experience.

Today, I'm at NPTL, one of the world's leading BCI labs, contributing to breakthroughs like restoring speech for people with ALS and developing a robust handwriting BCI.

There's never been a more exciting time to enter the BCI field!

I'm writing a blog about my journey and advice for newcomers.

What questions do YOU need answered?

Ask below 👇

[Matthew Willsey @matthew_willsey]

A BCI controlling virtual fingers is used to fly a high-performance virtual quadcopter. BCIs could allow people with paralysis to eventually play multiplayer video games with gamers who use video game controllers. @StanfordNsurg @umichneuro @UMBME

[Sergey Stavisky @SergeyStavisky]

New brain-computer interface preprint led by PhD student Tyler Singer-Clark!

This video of a man with paralysis accurately controlling a cursor looks like something you've seen since ~2017. BUT! This is driven by multielectrode arrays in ventral (speech) motor cortex‼️ 1/

[Victoria Peterson @vpeterson09]

Are you a BCI researcher from a low- or middle-income country? Economic restrictions prevent you from attending the #BCI Meeting? If that sounds familiar to you, you should apply to be a speaker at the Global BCI Session. + info 👇

[Maitreyee Wairagkar @Maitreyee_W]

Excited to share our NEW preprint: a "brain-to-voice" neuroprosthesis that directly synthesizes voice from neural activity with closed-loop audio feedback. It allowed a man with ALS to speak expressively by modulating intonation & sing melodies via BCI! https://t.co/CxNBxTqqYr 1/

[Nick Card @NS_Card]

Our new study is out today in the New England Journal of Medicine! We demonstrate a speech neuroprosthesis that decodes the attempted speech of a man with ALS into text with 97.5% accuracy, enabling him to communicate with his family, friends, and colleagues in his own home. 1/9
