Thrilled and grateful to share our paper out today in @Nature
(rdcu.be/fbd7J). We used a brain machine interface (brain computer interface, #BCI) to causally test the origin of the high-gamma band of local field potentials #LFP. See explanation by @TH_Alec_Lei below

๐ง ๐๏ธ๐ฃ๏ธFinally out! Paper with a way-too-long name for social media. How does the brain turn words into sentences? We tracked words in participants' brains while they produced sentences, and found some unexpectedly neat patterns. ๐งต1/9

Using electrical recordings taken from the surface of the brain, researchers decode what words neurosurgical patients are saying and show that the brain plans words in a different order than they are ultimately spoken.

The cortical representations and statistical analysis across clusters supports a semantic processing role for the naming-specific cluster.

@RyanCanolty has passed away, may his memory be a blessing. He wrote this seminal paper science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/โฆ among others.

From his family:โHe thought that he lived a good life overall and was at peace. There is not going to be a memorial, but the way to honor Ryan's life is to fight for research and university independence in these difficult times for academia and civil liberties in the US.โ

Just presented our work using #ECoG to decode words during sentence production at #HSP2025. Really grateful for all the great feedback. I got more clever ideas for future directions than I can possibly follow up on. Love this conference!

ALT Results of decoding words during the production of active and passive sentences. In actives, nouns were decoded in the order they were said, whereas in passives, prefrontal cortex sustained representations of both the subject and the object throughout the duration of the sentence while sensorimotor areas patterned with actives (showing โcongruentโ temporal representations).
