We've got an excellent line-up in both philosophy and neuroscience for our first conference! Submit your abstracts by Feb 1 and join us in St. Louis in early May!

😎 SPAN2025 Keynotes, invited symposia speakers, and sponsored symposia just dropped! Take a look at who will be at SPAN2025 and then submit your abstract so you can be there too! More invited speakers will be announced soon. Visit our website for all the details: philandneuro.com

The authors claim that both brain output and input devices are BCIs. To me, BCI Society's definition of BCIs as primarily output devices seems more logical. Brain stimulators and sensory protheses (computer-to-brain interfaces) are different from output BCIs even from the application point of view.

What is or isn't a "BCI"? We argue in Nature BME today that if the tech stimulates or records brain activity AND does computation, it's a BCI. www.nature.com/articles/s41... But we still need a way to discuss different types of BCI separately... 🧵 #BCI #BrainComputerInterface

Just did a calculation of our lab's time from project conception to publication (e-pub) over the past x years. We're averaging 3.5 years from the first idea to acceptance. About 6-9 months of this is review time. Don't know how typical this is but good reality check esp. for trainees.

Very proud to share a new review (more like a long perspective), just out in Science Advances: rebrand.ly/mdbi8q8. Ilana Nisky and Tamar @cambridgeuni.bsky.social joined heads (brains) to reimagine how to make the most out of artificial haptic interfaces. A thread (1/8)

A neurocognitive pathway for engineering artificial touch

Neurocognitive congruence is key to designing artificial touch that best integrates with human perception and action.

Excited to be presenting this work @neuripsconf.bsky.social next Thursday! Come find me to learn more about FALCON: neurips.cc/virtual/2024...

How can we build BCIs that operate robustly in the face of nonstationarities? Our @neuripsconf.bsky.social Datasets and Benchmarks paper introduces the Few-shot Algorithms for Consistent Neural Decoding (FALCON) Benchmark! Led by Brianna Karpowicz and @joelye.bsky.social

#Neuroimaging crowd, hear me out! 👀 Did you ever want to add #EyeTracking to your #fMRI study but found it too much hassle? Got existing data you’d love to add eye tracking to? Consider trying out *MR-based eye tracking* (i.e. inferring gaze from eye voxels)! Here is a 🧵 with a few options!👇 1/9

The BCI Society is now accepting abstract submissions for the upcoming 11th International BCI Meeting. Submit now at bcisociety.org.

Popularity of the motor imagery based BCIs (MI BCIs) is skyrocketing, while other noninvasive BCIs are now attracting far less attention. Surprisingly, interest to attempted movements (AM) remains low, while they have been repeatedly shown to be a serious alternative or at least a supplement to MI.
