Last night, I was invited to @nporadio1.bsky.social / NTR to talk (in Dutch) about my work to restore movement and communication using brain-computer interfaces. We had a one hour chat, followed by 30 minutes of listener calls. It was a blast!

Bewegen na een verlamming: het kan, dankzij deze technologie
Het is moeilijk voor te stellen hoe het is om verlamd te zijn. Maar verlamde mensen kunnen zich dankzij de wetenschap wel steeds meer voorstellen hoe het is om te bewegen. Sterker nog: dat kan daadwer...

Can we stop handing out useless awards like poster awards? When is the last time you heard any criteria for the award OR an explanation why a poster has won? Let's stop pretending an arbitrary decision is a measure of excellence.

🚨 New lab paper!🚨
A dream study of mine for nearly 20 yrs not possible until now thanks to NIH 🧠 funding & 1st-author lead @seeber.bsky.social
We tracked hippocampal activity as people walked memory-guided paths & imagined them again. Did brain patterns reappear?🧵👇

Decoding continuous goal-directed movement from human brain-wide intracranial recordings
Reaching out your hand is an effortless yet complex behavior that is indispensable in daily life. Restoring arm functionality is therefore rated a top priority by people with tetraplegia. Recently, ne...
