Went on a short backpacking trip as I was finishing up my thesis last December. Compiled some of the footage into a YouTube video :)

We were at the great sand dunes in Colorado- so much snow! and sand! and wind! ❄️⏳⌛️

Transfer learning via distributed brain recordings enables reliable speech decoding - Nature Communications
Speech brain-computer interfaces face challenges scaling across individuals with different brain organization. Using minimally invasive recordings from 25 patients, the authors developed transfer learning methods that enable robust speech decoding even with incomplete brain coverage.
