I’m in magnificent Chicago to watch the next Bears game with my VC buddies. Kidding. I’m here for the #IEEE Brain Discovery & Neurotechnology Workshop and #SFN2024 Please ping me to chat about the future of brain-machine interfaces and neuroscience. #bci #neuro #neurotech #SfN24 #sfn

I'm in Orlando at The Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC) #EMBC2024 @IEEEembs If you are there, or know neuro folks who are there, please let me know and share. We at e184.com what to know what happens at the neuro frontier and help wherever we can to push it forward. #bci #neurotech #forntiertech #deeptech #vc

I landed in SF yesterday to attend a week-long LabEeek field-building initiative, a part of a conference series by @protocollabs, supported by @foresightinst, @JoinEdgeCity, and others. #neuro #bci is a focus, if you are building/investing in neurotech - ping me here or in DM

I'm working on something big and just catching up on my #neurotech/#bci newsletter. It will be published soon! In the meantime, below is a list of cool neuro newsletters by @naveen101, @RobertMurcko, @holland_neuro, and @NeuroTechX (Sophie and the team) + X feeds by @neurosock and @seeingwithsound Are there any newsletter/X feeds I miss? neurotechnology.substack.com neurotechnologynews.beehiiv.… neurotechnerd.substack.com neurotechx.com/stay-tuned/ X - teapawt.org/seeingwithsound X - teapawt.org/neurosock

Here's what I included in my January neurotech newsletter subscribe: peterzhegin.com/#/portal/sig… read: peterzhegin.com/neurotech-mo… Non-Invasive 1) temporal interference: @Val_Beliaeva, @Valerio_Zerbi, @RafaPolania, @m_markicevic, @RazanskyLab, @ViktorJirsa, @AcerboEmma, @ViktorJirsa, @GrossRobertE, @eglo_physchem; 2) electromyography: @BryanSchlink, @ianbaumgart; 3)diffuse correlation spectroscopy. Invasive/Minimally Invasive 1) endovascular fUS: @davidgrayden, @Bionics_Sejohn; µECoG/SEEG: @damiavnc, @EduardMustbe, @xaviernavarro8, @VilaplanaUB, @naolmu, @SMarti_Sa, @chiaraspadar, @vickypuig, @ACPaulk, @Biologish, @jpezaris, @JihwanJamesLee, @RMarkRichardson, @raslanneuro, @SBenHaimMD, @kate_gelman, @VanessaMTolosa, @PeterKonrad12, @cmermel 1/2

Finally cleared my @_astrocyte newsletter backlog, and the September - December 2023 issue is here. I'll return to the monthly format in February. minimally/non-invasive 1) #ultrasound shines in this issue of the newsletter, papers by epidural BCI - @WhitneySGriggs, @SumnerLN, @DeffieuxThomas, @VasileiosChris2, @BrunoOsmanski, @GeelingC, @mikhailshapiro, @TanterM; sonobiopsy - @ChenUltrasound, @leuthardt, @aadel_chaudhuri, @Rshnzr, @RupenDesaiMD, @siakafadera_; neuromodulation - @sitiny0, @tristanadamwhi1, @EFouragnan, @ellymmartin, @LennartVerhagen, @cjstagg, and Yüksel et al.; stroke recovery - @MaYuTrue, @Jocelyne_Bloch, @gcourtine; 2) papers on A) temporal interference by @inesviolante, @Ketevanity, @AcerboEmma, @ProfHampshire, @eboyden3, @nir_grossman and B) in-ear sensors by @JSempionatto, @gopa_bandhu, @srishty_dua, @JWangnano. #bci #neurotech #vc #startups #deeptech #VentureCapital peterzhegin.com/neurotech-mo…

Ultrasound is getting traction, and some exciting work was widely covered, e.g. by @emilylmullin on @ForestNeurotech @SumnerLN here wired.com/story/the-race-to-… What is less covered is the platform potential of ultrasound as a modality and an opportunity for startups associated with it. Various types of functional ultrasound, therapeutic/interventional ultrasound, are used/considered for increasing the permeability of BBB (for drug delivery and biopsy), imaging, and stimulation. Someone who unifies all these types of US will be in a powerful position to become a leading neurotech/BCI platform.

A delayed BCI/Neurotech newsletter is here. I moved from Substack to ghost, so the design has slightly changed. Among other things this issue covers: * high-performance neuroprostheses @WillettNeuro, @FanChaofei, @shenoystanford, @JaimieHenderson, @neuroleigh, and @SeanMetzger5, @KayloLittlejohn, @jessierliu and a great review by Ramsey & Crone; * non-invasive: ultrasound, tES/@EkhtiariHamed, TMS/@boeslab, @esolomon, @DrCoreyKeller, nano-magnets/@dgregurec; * invasive: flexible implants/@MatteoCarandini, bioelectronics assembly in the brain; *data science: speech from ECoG/@ju_berezutskaya, music from fMRI/@TimoDenk, images from EEG; *other themes: translating new modalities into practice/@Khosravan2Sanaz, @shansiddiqi, @RolstonJohn, @foxmdphd; memory boosting/@DanRizzutoPhD, @KahanaMichael; *business: Neuralink, Universal Brain raised capital; a story of Second Sight vision implant as a business by @meharris #bci #neuroscience #venturecapital #deeptech peterzhegin.com/neurotech-mo…

I'm attending the Royal Society Neural Interfaces Summit 2023 on Wed and Thur. Who is going to be there? Would love to talk about crazy/impossible ideas, tech, startups royalsociety.org/science-eve… #bci #neurotech @royalsociety
