Our new preprint describes a multimodal intracortical brain-computer interface that a man with ALS has used at home, independently, almost every day for >19 months. It decodes both speech and cursor control to enable him to communicate and use his computer. Here’s a quick tour👇

Our new preprint describes an intracortical speech neuroprosthesis that generalizes across users, improving brain-to-text decoding accuracy for existing users by ~2x and enabling high-accuracy decoding for new users with minimal calibration data. biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

This work demonstrates that pooling intracortical speech data across users is effective for creating robust higher-accuracy speech decoders that generalize to new users with minimal calibration data. Read the preprint for more details: biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

This was a hugely collaborative project amongst several BrainGate sites and participants! Thanks to all, but especially to my co-first author Zachery Fogg and co-senior authors/mentors @DrDavidBrandman and @SergeyStavisky.

This is now published in @NatureMedicine!
Check out this "behind the paper" blogpost, co-written by participant T15 and I, about how this paper came together and how he uses the BCI in his daily life: go.nature.com/3SgxMEZ

In the research world, Casey Harrell is known by subject name T-15. He’s become a test case, and a point of hope, for people afflicted with ALS to have their voice restored. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

I'm really happy to see "brain-to-text" begin crossing over from academia to industry, helping more and more people communicate along the way! And I'm proud that I was able to contribute to this tech during my time at Neuralink.
ALS has gradually taken away Kenneth’s ability to speak. Through Neuralink’s VOICE clinical trial, he’s exploring how a brain-computer interface designed to translate thought to speech could help restore autonomy in his daily life.

We will be re-releasing the competition data in a non-normalized continuous format in the coming weeks.
We'd also like to re-open the leaderboard so it can serve as a public benchmark for future studies, but have not quite decided how best to do that yet. Stay tuned.
