Why are we accepting this as scientists and funding agencies? It's a complete waste of public funds. Its INSANE that scientists pay up to 12.000usd to a publisher, and also review the papers for FREE.

Researchers paid $1.06 billion to five academic publishers from 2015-2018 to publish their papers. Academic publishers sold the same papers back to researchers for $2 billion.

lol who did this? predatory journal emails just keep getting better...

All labs are looking for exceptional, highly motivated phd's and postdoc, only the best of the best. Where do the other 99% go?

Just learned I was nominated for this years #BCIAward! 🏆 We created a bimanual iBCI that enabled simultaneous neural control of two cursors on the first day of use. www.bci-award.com/Home

Can we move beyond the motor cortex for speech neuroprosthetics? We've explored just this question in our paper published today in Cell Reports!🧠 Check it out! 👉https://sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211124725010125

Applications are now open! We are recruiting 20 Assistant Professors in a wide range of subject areas. We're looking for early-career researchers with strong scientific merits and future potential. 🔗 All positions: ki.se/en/about-ki/...

Elsevier's profit margin compared to Apple, Google, and Microsoft Apple: 28% Google: 25% Microsoft: 34% Elsevier: 37% with a revenue of $3.9 billion. Elsevier's payment to academic authors and reviewers: $0

Last night, I was invited to @nporadio1.bsky.social / NTR to talk (in Dutch) about my work to restore movement and communication using brain-computer interfaces. We had a one hour chat, followed by 30 minutes of listener calls. It was a blast! www.nporadio1.nl/fragmenten/d...

Bewegen na een verlamming: het kan, dankzij deze technologie

Het is moeilijk voor te stellen hoe het is om verlamd te zijn. Maar verlamde mensen kunnen zich dankzij de wetenschap wel steeds meer voorstellen hoe het is om te bewegen. Sterker nog: dat kan daadwer...

Vanochtend was ik te gast bij 'De nacht van de wetenschap' op @nporadio1.bsky.social. Luister het hieronder terug!

Door computers weer bewegen met een verlamming

Het brein kan bij verlamming nog volledig intact zijn. Maarten Ottenhoff doet onderzoek naar computers die signalen in dat brein lezen en vetalen. Waardoor mensen met ALS weer kunnen praten of mensen ...

Can we stop handing out useless awards like poster awards? When is the last time you heard any criteria for the award OR an explanation why a poster has won? Let's stop pretending an arbitrary decision is a measure of excellence.

Maxime Verwoert's paper on different representations of speech production in distributed intracranial recordings of neural activity is now published: www.nature.com/articles/s42...

🚨 New lab paper!🚨 A dream study of mine for nearly 20 yrs not possible until now thanks to NIH 🧠 funding & 1st-author lead @seeber.bsky.social We tracked hippocampal activity as people walked memory-guided paths & imagined them again. Did brain patterns reappear?🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Human neural dynamics of real-world and imagined navigation - Nature Human Behaviour

Seeber et al. studied brain recordings from implanted electrodes in freely moving humans. Neural dynamics encoded actual and imagined routes similarly, demonstrating parallels between navigational, im...

I am excited to announce that I will be founding an institute for network stimulation at the University Hospital Cologne – already this coming May!

Check out our new preprint where we decode goal-directed hand movements from brain-wide intracranial recordings. See a quick summary below, or find the full preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1....

Decoding continuous goal-directed movement from human brain-wide intracranial recordings

Reaching out your hand is an effortless yet complex behavior that is indispensable in daily life. Restoring arm functionality is therefore rated a top priority by people with tetraplegia. Recently, ne...
