How can we build BCIs that operate robustly in the face of nonstationarities?
Our @NeurIPSConf Datasets and Benchmarks paper introduces the Few-shot Algorithms for Consistent Neural Decoding (FALCON) Benchmark!

Holy Shift!! This new podcast from Emory/GT @CoulterBME highlights biomedical research breakthroughs and their impacts on our lives. Check out the first episode on stem cell therapies for congenital heart defects! https://t.co/0M7eun29vP
I'm very excited to share the workshop "๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฌ: ๐๐๐๐ก๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐๐ฌ, ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ, ๐๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ" which will be on November 11 at the IEEE/EMBS International Conference on Neural Engineering in San Diego!
We believe shared autonomy will play an important role in future BCIs (both invasive and non-invasive)! We're hiring postdocs, particularly in robotics + AI. If you're interested in joining our team, please visit: https://t.co/jEbDO7mJN5.
Check out our study in @NatMachIntell, where we use AI copilots for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs): https://t.co/IWhprtemFR. We enable a paralyzed participant to neurally control a computer cursor and a robotic arm (non-invasive, no surgery). Video here: https://t.co/dZG8h6xb9C
Coming March 17, 2026!
Just got my advance copy of Emergence โ a memoir about growing up in group homes and somehow ending up in neuroscience and AI. Itโs personal, itโs scientific, and itโs been a wild thing to write. Grateful and excited to share it soon.
Excited to announce the Foundation Models for the Brain and Body workshop at #NeurIPS2025!๐ง
We invite short papers or interactive demos on AI for neural, physiological or behavioral data.

A team of #PurdueECE students has built a record-breaking machine that solves a RUBIKโS Cube faster than the blink of an eye ๐๏ธ!
Congrats to Brock Berta, Aden Hurd, Junpei Ota, & Matthew Patrohay on this remarkable achievement!
Come see the machine today (Fri) until 3 in MSEE!
I am the 3rd person in the world to receive the @Neuralink brain implant.
1st with ALS. 1st Nonverbal.
I am typing this with my brain. It is my primary communication.
Ask me anything! I will answer at least all verified users!
Thank you @elonmusk!
Exciting news from @NiaTherapeutics! Weโre thrilled to announce that Prof. Michael Kahana (@KahanaMichael) has joined the company full-time as CEO.
A world leader in the science of human memory, Prof. Kahana built a distinguished career at the University of Pennsylvania (@Penn), where he and members of his Computational Memory Lab pioneered the study of how patterns of neural activity, recorded directly from the brains of neurosurgical patients, predict fluctuations in #memory encoding and retrieval. This foundational research provided the scientific basis for Niaโs groundbreaking therapy.
Kahana is the author of over 230 peer-reviewed publications and the landmark textbook, Foundations of Human Memory. His scientific contributions include the retrieved-context theory of episodic memory and the discovery of theta oscillations, place cells, grid cells, goal cells, and time cells in the human brain. He has received major honors including the Troland Award from the National Academy of Sciences and the Howard Crosby Warren Medal from the Society of Experimental Psychologists.
Together with Nia co-founder @DanRizzutoPhD and @yezzyat, Kahana authored the seminal publications demonstrating that closed-loop #neurostimulation can reliably enhance human memory performance. These studies, conducted under DARPAโs Restoring Active Memory (RAM) program, produced the largest dataset ever collected on AI-based memory decoding and brain stimulation.
โIโm excited to join Dan Rizzuto and the Nia team in accelerating our mission to deliver transformative #BCI therapies for patients living with memory loss due to traumatic brain injury #TBI and other neurological conditions,โ said Kahana.
Welcome aboard, Mike โ weโre just getting started.

4 yrs ago, I jumped from AI into Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) researchโwith 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.
