If you lost all ability to move tomorrow, what daily activity would you miss most?

- Texting a loved one?
- Opening your own door?
- Adjusting the thermostat?

These aren’t just habits.
They’re Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and they’re lifelines to independence.

What’s the one action you’d fight hardest to keep?

@theBrianaMills This is such an important reminder. True inclusion means accepting the whole person, not asking them to hide parts of themselves for others’ comfort.

[Omid Forouzan @omidfzn]

@theBrianaMills So well said. Disability is part of the human experience. When we recognize it that way (not as a personal failure, but a part of life) we can design systems that better integrate into people’s lives and support how they choose to manage their condition.

@TaraBull808 Painful to watch. Yet it’s the lived reality for so many. This is why restoring motor function isn’t a moonshot, it’s a duty. Tech must meet people where they are. #Neurotech #BCI

My first year in Neuro after 15 years of Caridac (academia and industry). I gotta say SNIS is very innovative! Very interesting BCI, AI session with our BCI industry partners

Note: not sure how I feel about drive thru brain surgery 🤔

Big thank you @synchroninc for sponsoring an Al-Fresco BBQ Dinner for delegates at #BCI2025! Excited to see there! #Banff

There’s a clear difference when you prioritize patients and design with a patient-first mindset versus chasing a tech-first mentality.

How have HF mortality rates changed from 1999-2021 in the US?

From 1999-2012
↘ : Decline by ~25%

From 2012-2021
↗ Reversals that have now undone ALL initial declines.

🚨HF mortality in 2021 > HF mortality in 1999 🚨
