translating neurotechnologies into therapeutics to help people overcome debilitating brain disorders

@neurobongo Does your team have no meeting / deep work days on the calendar?

[Mark Chevillet @mchevillet]

@sama Not for people who think in bullets but are expected to produce well-written text - in which the former is more valuable.

@SumnerLN @BlackrockNeuro_ @neuralink Maybe a stretch, but human imagined handwriting seems right given the individual letter spelling and relatively recently knwon status of the Stanford team’s human trials.

New @UCSF work published in @NatureComms shows that @ChangLabUcsf 's brain-computer interface allows a person who has lost the ability to speak or type to spell out full sentences from a large vocabulary by silently attempting to speak: https://t.co/EEfXGE7aHh

@MelissaHerman4 Impressive - but I feel like we need to talk about that picture on the wall…

[Mark Chevillet @mchevillet]

If you had the equivalent of low spatial resolution (eg 8mm voxels, only in cortex) fMRI in your lab at the cost of an EEG device - what would you do with it?

[Mark Chevillet @mchevillet]

Who is doing the best neurofeedback research? And how much of it is making it to the clinic?

[Mark Chevillet @mchevillet]

@patricksmalone The video stream increases latency and variability in latency, which should decrease synchronization. Also, assuming the brain is always trying to predict what will happen next, I wonder if this increased latency/variability also makes prediction more difficult/effortful?

@patricksmalone Great framing of neuropsychiatric conditions as computational dysfunction.

[Mark Chevillet @mchevillet]

@patricksmalone Important to note that while spatially precise relative to pills, neurostimulation is often nonspecific wrt cell type and neural circuit (unless using in combination with exogenous agents - eg sonogenetics).

BU BME is searching for a tenure track assistant professor working at the intersection of neurotechnologies, data analytics, and cognitive neuroscience.

Please spread the word.

[Mark Chevillet @mchevillet]

Great opportunities to do impactful mission driven work.

I had the privilige and pleasure of working closely with Pedro when I was at APL, and would jump at any opportunity to work with him again : )

Anyone wanting to put their data science, AI/ML, a…https://t.co/lO1oVyNzJA

Can’t imagine a better guiding light for BCI technologies than Eddie Chang, who I feel privileged to call both colleague and friend. Brilliant, compassionate, and humble - an uncommon combination, and exactly what the worked needs more of right now. https://t.co/FsMklbhCQi

[Mark Chevillet @mchevillet]

Great opportunity - highly encourage anyone interested in neurotech, prosthetics, and/ or XR interaction to take a close look. https://t.co/NHxqyTh5EJ

@Andercot @patrickmineault Far from morally agnostic - neuroethics was a key pillar of the entire program https://t.co/rg6ZNX4ywI

@Andercot @patrickmineault The application my team worked on while I was at Meta was providing a hands free and private means of interacting with AR glasses. https://t.co/r0dQkYXxLL

@JeanRemiKing @honualx @MetaAI Exciting progress! MEG results being better certainly matches expectation. While EEG results are expectedly poorer, they’re actually much better than I would have guessed. Tying the models together across participants is also a super interesting way to keep scaling. Great work!

[Mark Chevillet @mchevillet]

@patrickmineault Been thinking a lot about this lately in terms of whether the power of searching by parts cuts both ways, potentially giving rise to both function and dysfunction - eg traumatic memories being fully triggered by exposure to small details associated w the memory

@wolfejosh @patrick_oshag What are the key things that happen in an office that can’t happen remotely?
