Can you think of a more controversial Christmas dinner topic than "What is a BCI?"

Today in Nature BME, we propose an application-based taxonomy -> Clearer language for patients, regulators, and innovators alike.

Proud to collaborate with @jacobrobinson.bsky.social and an incredible team! 🎁

This builds on some of the work we carried out at Caltech and USC, on the cover in Science Translational Medicine last year (fUSi through a PMMA window in a human subject.)

Now, Soloukey et al. take it further: successful fUSi in a patient during locomotion! 🏃‍♂️🧠

🚀 Functional ultrasound imaging (fUSi) of the human brain is moving quick!

Sadaf Soloukey and the Kruizinga lab (Netherlands) just demonstrated ultrasonic brain imaging in patients with ultrasound-transparent skull/cranioplasty. Incredible work! 🧠🔊

Crow brain function changes when listening to other birds (canaries, pigeons) vs. other crows.

Interesting new use case and animal model using ultrasound to measure brain function!
