For the past decade, our team at Meta Reality Labs (previously CTRL-labs) has been dedicated to developing a neuromotor interface.

Our goal is to address the Human Computer Interaction challenge of providing effortless, intuitive, and efficient input to computers.

[Emanuele Formento @formento_e]

Great overview on some of the exciting tech we are working on at Reality Labs!

Did you have fun with the NeurIPS2019: Learn to Move competition? Do you miss controlling a musculoskeletal system in a simulation?

Introducing the @Myochallenge2022, an official challenge at #NeurIPS2022!

[Daniel Wetmore @dzwetmore]

Our EMG neuromotor interface team from @RealityLabs is thrilled to sponsor @CosyneMeeting . All attendees pls join us for a professional development panel discussion + reception to meet our scientists attending. We are hiring! #cosyne22

Brain-computer interface (BCI) 2021 year in review 🧵

2021 was a big year! We saw an intracortical BCI decode handwriting, the 1st country to pass a bill on neuro-rights, & much more

Below we cover the most exciting BCI updates across academia, industry, & public policy

1/3 In 2020, I took an exciting leap to join NextSense, as a founding member. We were in stealth mode until last December; I am happy to finally be able to share what we’ve been working on. 🧠🦻

Check out the conversation between Boz and Reardon about EMG-based neural interfaces.

Then come help us research and build it!

(Electromyography - EMG - measures a muscle's response through its electrical activity)

Hear ye hear ye. BEHEMOTH review on cortically controlled Brain Machine Interfaces, written with @chethan, out today in @physiolrev. (Hopefully) good primer for newbies to the field or useful reference for aficionados. Check it! https://t.co/mORnKC1xm1

All the specs we know so far about Elon Musk's Tesla Bot, which remains to be seen ahead of a prototype planned for next year. https://t.co/nXO8cqoe0Q

@AnaisLlorensPhD @AthinaTzovara @NeuroCellPress Congrats for this major achievement! Raising awareness is key; we should all read this!

[Silvestro Micera @_smicera]

Altra ottima evidenza 💪💪💪

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]

Trust in science is important for vaccine confidence. A study in @NatureHumBehav finds that confidence in vaccination is higher in countries where people agree that scientists are trustworthy. https://t.co/UfvlrvC6cW

@HunterSchone @PlasticityUCL Glad you enjoyed the preprint and thanks for the positive feedback!

@_smicera Thanks Silvestro, I am glad you liked it!
I've definitely inherited your bias for peripheral solutions :)

[Brain Stimulation @brainstimj]

Pre-registered, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial (n=62) by Jonker et al finds no effect of anodal #tDCS on motor cortical excitability and no evidence for responders
