AcademicTwitter friends, are you interested in science & how its results can help improve disease treatment? Then read on to find about our quest to bring fundamental neuroscience into clinical practice for brain mapping in #epilepsy! A Tweeprint 🧵(1/18) frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

The best combo for a stellar symposium! I wish I could be there!🥲🧠

Out today in @NatureMedicine, groundbreaking work by Philip Starr MD, PhD, Simon Little MD, PhD (@littleneuro) and colleagues shows that adaptive DBS provides better symptom control than standard DBS in a real-world setting: nature.com/articles/s41591-0…

Absolutely! sEEG is great for localizing the seizure onset zone. However, ECoG offers broader spatial coverage, which is crucial for mapping in complex cases where the identification of eloquent areas has higher relevance. This ensures better surgical planning and patient safety.

20 years ago today, an extraordinary 24-year-old, unable to move his hands due to cervical spinal cord injury, volunteered to have a tiny sensor placed into his brain so that he could control a computer cursor, his room lights, and a robot arm just by thinking about it.

96% of published findings in psychology are statistically significant. There are 2 options. 1) We study effects with more than 90% power, and more than 90% probability of being true. 2) There is MASSIVE publication bias. Hint: the answer is 2 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Intriguing paper in this week's Science: a new, much cheaper approach for MRI scanning It's an MRI scanner that uses a 0.05 Tesla magnet (vs. the current 1.5 - 3 T) and operates at a fraction of the cost (~$22,000 for the hardware), time (<10 minutes), and noise of a current MRI scanner Unlike current MRIs, the prototype scanner plugs into a standard wall socket, and doesn't need specialist shielding equipment It uses a deep learning (AI) strategy to improve the low signal-noise ratio that's inherent to lower field strength MRIs Although the images from the 0.05 T approach aren't as good as from 3 T MRI, they don't seem to be far off Zhao et al: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

AI is revolutionizing healthcare, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, & shaping comprehensive care plans through advanced LLMs. Med-Gemini is at the forefront, tackling data complexity with multimodal reasoning. Excited for the future impact! 🚀 #AI arxiv.org/abs/2404.18416

I’m looking for a postdoc researcher to work with me, on the cortical plasticity of blinds, with fMRI (3T, 7T, and potentially 11.7T). See details in the picture. Please spread the word to people interested 🙏

Brain-To-Text Competition 2024 This is the most fascinating BCI competition yet, organized by Stanford. Everyone has time to develop the world's best brain-to-speech decoder! Deadline: June 2, 2024 Task: Predict attempted speech from brain activity. Dataset: They've recorded 12,100 sentences from a patient who can no longer speak intelligibly due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). """For each sentence, we provide the transcript of what the participant was attempting to say, along with the corresponding time series of neural spiking activity recorded from 256 microelectrodes in speech-related areas of cortex""" Link: eval.ai/web/challenges/chall… Just letting you know we're jumping into this challenge! @alex_timcenko and @koval_alvi, together with @alvilabs team, we're going to create something interesting. Like this post if you want to follow our updates❤️

The rapid rate at which Noland mastered and consistently enhanced his volitional control over cortical spikes is astounding. This remarkable progress underscores the vast potential of upcoming next-generation neural implants. 🚀💡🧠✨🔝
