🧠 Imagine being able to control machines by thinking.

@drlaschowski.bsky.social (MIE) and his Computational Neuroscience Lab are working to make it possible. They've developed a new algorithm that could make brain decoding more accurate and efficient.

Imagine a brain decoding algorithm that could generalize across different subjects and tasks. Today, we’re one step closer to achieving that vision.

Our clinical trial with Neuralink is officially underway! #neuroAI #compneuro @uhn.ca

University Health Network @uhn.ca · Sep 5

UHN has successfully completed two Neuralink brain implant surgeries. This marks a major advancement in neurosurgery and unlocks new possibilities for spinal cord injury patients, helping them access new functions and regain independence.

What is the mind? What is intelligence? In our lab, we’re working to answer these questions by reverse-engineering the brain.

Wrapped up 2 intense weeks at #NeuroAI by @neuromatch.bsky.social! 🚀
Our team explored how RNNs encode spatial memory — and found they implicitly learn a discrete spatial layout.

Thanks to my amazing teammates!
