When I lost my university email, my identity as a scientist took an unexpected hit | Science | AAAS science.org/content/article/… So true.

Interested in speech neuroprostheses? Come to the #SfN24 minisymposium organized by @HerffC and I. We have a fantastic lineup chosen to survey the many directions this field can go in: different recording modalities, languages, and behaviors (e.g. attempted vs. imagined speech).

So @united had not one, but THREE mechanical failures today and I didn’t get so much as a food voucher. Was originally supposed to be in Chicago 3 hours ago… won’t get there for a few more hours.

Our 4th #BlackInNeuroWeek has just started! So you know what time it is... #BlackInNeuroRollCall! 🗣️
To participate, you can either:
Introduce yourself with a selfie and let us know what you've been up to since our last BINW, or...

Just a few days left to apply! And to those who already did, sorry for the wait until we can start reviewing applications - being part of the country's best public university system is a privilege but it does come with rigorous process in the interest in fairness.
Our group is hiring a #neurotech research assistant to help make our speech brain-computer interface more useful for participants during day-to-day use. Details and apply at recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF05745.
Please RT🔁!
ALT Junior Neuroprosthesis Software Engineer The UC Davis Neuroprosthetics Lab is hiring a software engineer to make our speech brain-computer interface more useful for our clinical trial participants. For example, enabling decoded speech to be used to control software like email, messaging, Office, etc. 24/7. This would be an excellent one-year position that would springboard someone into an exciting role in neurotech industry or a neuroengineering PhD program. More details at recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF05745. All applications must be via that link. You may send your CV and cover letter to [email protected] and [email protected] in addition to that.

🚨 New pre-print alert!🚨 Led by the brilliant, twitter-less post-doc James Hope. We built a 🤖 exoskeleton for 🐭🐁 so we can study their 🧠's as they go around navigating their world. An e.g., imaging 1000s of neurons in the cortex when mice walk an 8-maze. A 🧵
