@neurosock Goes to show biology is the real hard science 🧪 🧫

5/5
the fact that the devices are not implanted means that getting the amount of data (thousands of people!) necessary is much easier compared to implanted devices (i.e., more feasible technical challenges and much lower cost)

The significance of this technical milestone cannot be over-stated! This is an indicator that things in the consumer neurotech space are about to 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐔𝐏. Definitely keep watching this space.

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.

This achievement shows is that with A LOT of data and some compute you can virtually get rid of this friction and allow users to use the device right out of the box (again, 𝐇𝐔𝐆𝐄!). This approach makes the most sense for consumer neurotech because

Hi #neurotwitter,
I will be around #SfN2023. I would love to catch up with whoever is around.
Xoxo

@SumnerLN yes, this is definitely how clinical trials work....

[Nature Neuroscience @NatureNeuro]

In primates, activity in visual cortex is minimally driven by spontaneous body movements. These results confirm the functional specialization of primate visual processing and contrast with findings in mice.

I don't know if I benefited directly from Affirmative Action, but I do know I benefited indirectly from it. During my undergrad years at @MIT I was part of a community of people with diverse life experiences. What this taught me about the world rivals anything I learned in a book

@neurobongo @AirCanada Lol. Got stuck on the tarmac for 2 hours yesterday on the way to Montreal. Sounds like the north-bound flight issues have not been resolved

@neurosock this is pretty genius

@rdiazrincon I highly recommend Montreal-style bagels over the New York-style bagels that are more ubiquitous in the U.S.
