Excited to share our recent work towards creating a high-performance and expressive neuroprosthesis for speech decoding! Grateful to work with such a great team! None of this would be possible without the dedication of our participants nature.com/articles/s4158…

For the first time, a brain implant has helped a bilingual person who is unable to articulate words to communicate in both of his languages go.nature.com/3yA4SpK


Very excited to see our work on developing a bilingual speech neuroprosthesis out today in @natBME ! Thanks to our dedicated participant “Pancho” for making this happen! We put together a summary of the results below

Excited to share our work on developing a bilingual speech neuroprosthesis that decodes cortical activity into English and Spanish sentences in a person with paralysis. Out today in @natBME! nature.com/articles/s4155…



Excited to share our review on progress towards a clinically viable speech neuroprosthesis! Thanks to @ChangLabUcsf and co-authors @KayloLittlejohn , @jessierliu , and @AtDavidMoses ! nature.com/articles/s4158…


Big thanks to my mentor Dr. Chang and @AANSNeuro for the chance to present our work on speech brain-computer interfaces! Great to meet more of the neurosurgery community #AANS2024

ecstatic to see this paper out! made possible through extraordinary teamwork, and special co-first duo with @matt_k_leonard an astounding first insight into what Neuropixels can tell us about neural computation in human cortex, in support of language processing

We’re excited about our first paper looking at speech encoding in single neurons across the depth of human cortex. Out today in @nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… [1/6]

Our work on decoding speech using high-density micro-scale recordings was published today in @NatureComms! We demonstrate the potential of high-spatial sampling technology for future neural speech prostheses. nature.com/articles/s4146… The thread below outlines our main findings.


Excited to share recent work with @UCSFepilepsy as well as the Kleen and Chang labs! We found that interictal discharges form a convergent basis for word-finding difficulty in patients with epilepsy doi.org/10.1111/epi.17…

🎙️ ON AIR: We're speaking w/ @UCSF_BTS's Alex Silva & @UCBerkeleyNeuro's Robert Knight about the promise of neuroprosthetics. ❓ What are your questions about the future of brain-computer interfaces? 📻 Listen: kqed.org/forum/20101018…

Check out the two amazing speech BCI studies, in patients that are not able to speak anymore, published in @Nature today: nature.com/articles/s4158… nature.com/articles/s4158… These studies really push the state of the art and bring clear benefit to patients. What an exciting time!
