#Gamification may seem fun, but there's a dark side to its use in everyday life. Don't be a victim of '#coercivegamification,' exploited by bad actors for #control. #Educate yourself with this @newrepublic #exposé: https://t.co/OKHvEzjegh

After two years, it’s so refreshing to have our Blitz competition back this weekend with some in-person elements! 🎉 The energy in the room was unreal as students pitched their world-changing ideas in front of their peers last night. ⚡️💡 @PittTweet @PittInnovates

[Arjan Singh @arjanthegreat1]

Medical tourism, experimental brain surgery, the ethics of animal models in #BCI research, the emotional side of #neuroprosthetics research, and also the toll it can take on families. Powerful talk from @BCIcanDoBetter @anna_wexler @parowol @neuroamyo

Milkshake outing with the squad for our amazing research participant’s, Dom’s, two-year brain-computer interface implantaversary ! #BCI #neuroscience #RNEL @BlackrockNeuro_

[RNEL @RNELabs]

Today marks 10 years since we started our intracortical BCI trial in Pittsburgh @PittTweet & @UPMC_PMR. We would like to thank Jan for her dedication and contributions to research and for being an inspiration to so many. She is truly a pioneer! 🦾🧠🦸‍♀️

Thanks for reminding me about this 💪🏾🎨 the relationship between #Parkinsons and #creativity is fascinating

Just published in @PhysicsWorld my summary of @RNELabs's recent #research: A #machinelearning-enhanced brain-computer interface (#BCI) allows people with paralysis to perform essential tasks on a computer using their minds

@PittNeurosurg @PittTweet @MCapogrosso @PittHealthSci @UPMCPhysicianEd Mind-blowing talk by @MCapogrosso at @RNELabs. #strokes cost $46bn/yr + much more indirectly. Intelligent #BCIs performing #spinalcordstimulation restore fine control/strength since strokes preserve some connections in #paralyzed patients | 🦿🦾🧠enroll @ https://t.co/cQcS3Qq13g

It was such a blast trying to make this little #VR project for #VRjam2021 last weekend
#madewithunity #gamedev
Absolutely blown away by the peerless competition! Check our entry out:

Congratulations to the awesome jammers of the #VRJam2021, three days of hard work and the results looks amazing you guys are awesome!! 😯
You can play all of the games made here :

In amazing leap, scientists map the feeling of touch into the brains of subjects with paralysis https://t.co/NBF3xtQB2e

[Arjan Singh @arjanthegreat1]

Being #focused and in the zone is difficult to sustain. I’m working with a talented team to research a #noninvasive 🧠💻🔁 #BCI to monitor attention #biomarkers and notify user of dips using #resources from @openvibebci, @unity3d, and @BrainSupportCo & @CyborgIndustry

Introducing @UCSF's New COVID-19 #Risk Tracker https://t.co/zGw8P3dJKS

Data visualizations like these may allow decision-makers to react faster to mitigate infection risk in the community. Note the very interesting uptick in risky behaviors as #COVID cases crater! #CovidIsOver

[Arjan Singh @arjanthegreat1]

#neuroscience and #computerscience are converging beautifully. Mapping the entirety of our #connectome with #MachineLearning will help us advance #neuralnetworks--these were designed to mimic the function of the #brain in the first place! https://t.co/9eUT0jJVly @JacksonBrainSup

Really great insight into the #TOPHAT study: Using a modified version of the UPDRS to assess #motor symptoms requiring NO physical contact. Great article "Adapting #clinicaltrials during the pandemic" by @_nratcliffe https://t.co/CWyQ8r7AfB

[CyborgIndustry @CyborgIndustry]

@RNELabs delivers an incredible feat of #neuroprosthetic #engineering : a #bidirectional 🧠🔄💻🔁🦾#braincomputerinterface that simulates sensation (like #VR) by stimulating the somatosensory postcentral gyrus into interpreting a sense of touch. Pioneering #neuromodulation 🔥🔥

[Arjan Singh @arjanthegreat1]

#BCI (#brain #computer interfaces) are truly the future of #immersive experiences. ❌ 🎮

I used @openvibebci #EEG #mobile #tech to control the velocity of this simple #tetherball with my thoughts 💭 !
