Reviving this account to say that the last paper from my PhD is out in final form! Here, we look at how the timing of artificial tactile sensations (delivered via intracortical microstimulation/ICMS) is perceived relative to visual cues in two participants with spinal cord injuries. 🧠✋👀

🧠Excited to share our latest ultrasound & neurotech paper @natureportfolio.nature.com 🦾 Our previous papers demonstrated the HOW of an ultrasonic brain-machine interface in monkeys and humans. This paper highlights WHY it works.

This is the funniest science writeup I've seen in a long time. It's about why cats are so perfectly evolved 🧪 Apparently lots of other animals have "tried to be cats" and the fact that other species have so much more variation is "because they suck" 😆 www.scientificamerican.com/article/cats...
Cats challenge standard biases in evolutionary biology. People have said to me, “What about bats? What about rodents? These groups have so many species doing all kinds of things.” And I'm like, “Yeah, because they suck.” They haven't figured out how to do anything well, so they keep trying different things.

Just a reminder that you can add '-ai' to your google search and it will not show you any AI-generated overviews!

Quick introduction since things are taking off around here - I’m Isabelle, a researcher in sensorimotor neural prosthetics. My interests include brain computer interfaces, tactile sensation (real and artificial), neurostimulation, and motor intention 🧠🤖

New preprint alert! Interested in human brain-machine interfaces, but wondering how they might work in the real world? We examine how artificial touch sensations are integrated with visual information for a cohesive conscious experience. 1/4 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy to have finally made the migration over here! I’m a brain-machine interface researcher working on the neuroscience of tactile sensations 🧠✨ Looking for relevant accounts to follow 👀
