The disruptive advances we are seeing in #neurotechnology must be accompanied by ethical frameworks, such as the one adopted yesterday by @unesco.org

Ethics of neurotechnology: UNESCO adopts the first global standard in
Today UNESCO’s Member States took the final step towards adopting the first global normative framework on the ethics of neurotechnology. The Recommendation, which will enter into force on November 12

I had the pleasure of spending some time with the team in Linköping University 🇸🇪 brainstorming on fascinating projects on the sense of #touch.

Many thanks to Sarah McIntyre & team for the warm welcome and stimulating conversations!

Can't wait to collaborate!

During phantom limb movements, motor signals emerge from the tibial nerve of amputees🦿, revealing joint- and direction-specific neural activity 🧠 A SNN-based decoder could capture these patterns, outperforming conventional methods.

A brain-imaging study of people with amputated arms has upended a long-standing belief

The brain’s map of the body is surprisingly stable — even after a limb is lost
Study challenges the textbook idea that the brain region that processes body sensations reorganizes itself after limb amputation.
