So glad I had the privilege of being a part of this incredible life changing research

Very proud to be part of this important and exciting work, also featured in the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

WOMEN and FEMALE are red flag words. (Men, male are not on the list). Let that sink in.

How it feels trying to get work done:

Fear and uncertainty dominated conversations this week among those doing NIH-funded research involving people who are transgender, gender fluid, nonbinary, or otherwise gender minorities. scim.ag/3Ce2Tto

A phenomenal opportunity in Switzerland 🇨🇭 for students interested in a PhD in vision neuroscience! Dr. Teichmann is an outstanding scientist and mentor.

New in @science.org our study "Tactile edges and motion via patterned microstimulation of the human somatosensory cortex". 🦾 🧠 ⚡ science.org/doi/10.1126/... Interesting related perspective by prof. Paul Marasco science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Eleanor Maguire, who died 4 January at age 54, pioneered the famous London taxi-driver study and naturalistic approaches for studying spatial and episodic memory in people. By @callimcflurry.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/memory/remem...

Happy New Year! Check out our recent paper on presurgical planning for BCIs to restore the sense of touch, led by @johndowney.bsky.social with collaboration from the @corticalbionics.bsky.social team.

Our new publication in Human Brain Mapping is a roadmap to implanting stimulation electrodes to evoke tactile sensations on the fingers of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) users. We share the plan and results for 5 study participants across a decade at 2 sites. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We’re thrilled to share our new research article, "Shaping the developing homunculus: the roles of deprivation and compensatory behaviour in sensory remapping on bioRxiv: rebrand.ly/qbz6nal with @dorothycowie.bsky.social

Our group has a new paper out now in Nature BME, led by Charles Greenspon. It covers a number of updates on how we can restore tactile sensation from the hand using intracortical microstimulation (ICMS). www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A LITTLE LOUDER FOR THE STUDY SECTIONS IN THE BACK: ". . . classical functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) . . . can be reliable when averaged across tens of people, or even in an individual, given sufficient repetition."
