Who needs the BART blues when you’ve got Alameda Ferry views? Best commute in the Bay, hands down. 🚤✨

Optogenetic stimulation of a cortical biohybrid implant guides goal directed behavior

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) hold exciting therapeutic potential, but tissue damage caused by probe insertion limits channel count. Biohybrid devices, in which the cell-device interface is crafted...

I had an idea way back in college which I've long thought could be, in many ways, the ultimate BCI technology. What if instead of using electrodes, we used biological neurons embedded in electronics to communicate with the brain?

Fun to see this place coming a bit more alive! I tried my hand at a starter pack for neural engineering & computationally-leaning (systems) neuroscience. Super not exhaustive, so if you want to be added (or removed), just ping me. I'm still working on finding folks here.
