What’s top of mind for the @ieeebrain.bsky.social community in 2026?

In a recent poll about 2026 priorities, the results show a split between advancing research (40.4%) and turning ideas into real-world impact (38.6%), followed by #ethics and #privacy. Do you agree with these results? #brain

Brain-computer interfaces hold huge promise but noisy signals and limited data remain major hurdles.

@theinnovation.bsky.social has a pre-proof article exploring how #GenAI is helping stabilize BCIs, improve signal quality, and shape what’s next for #BCI tech: bit.ly/3NePaHX #brain #neurotech

Who is @ieeebrain.bsky.social anyway? Watch this video excerpt to see how we're uniting #engineers, technologists, #researchers, #policymakers and others to advance #neurotechnology ethically, responsibly, and collaboratively.

Heads-up! Our friends at @simonsfoundation.org have a great event coming up at the end of the month.

If you're interested in where the future of #neuroscience may be headed, this is one you'll want to check out. #brain #neurotech #neurotechnology

New #research alert! #ScientificReports has a new paper exploring how sparse an #EEG can be while still decoding the #brain.

The study shows reliable neural decoding with as few as 16 electrodes, even for complex, natural images: https://go.nature.com/4snqzk2 #neuroscience #neurotech

New year, new poll!

Everyone in #neurotech has different goals, whether they're #research, impact, #career, or something else. We're curious where the community’s priorities are right now. Vote in this non-scientific #poll by leaving the letter corresponding to your answer in the comments.

New buff unlocked: #brain power.

No need to go all LEEROOOOOOOY JENKINNNNNNS! with the debut of a new headset that tracks neural signals in real-time to help #gamers optimize performance. It could be a great way to nerf distractions, says #InterestingEngineering: https://bit.ly/4blewO6 #neurotech

Exploring the future of brain #standards and #neurotechnology? The @ieeebrain.bsky.social #ResourceCenter is built for the #neurotech community, bringing together curated #TEDTalks, career pathways, and coverage of #DBS, #BCI tech, and closed-loop systems. Check it out: bit.ly/IEEEBrain-Re... #brain

What if a #brain implant were no thicker than a postage stamp, yet powerful enough to connect one's thoughts to #AI?

A new paper-thin #BCI shows how smaller, safer, #wireless designs may reshape care for #paralysis, seizures, and more. @new-atlas.bsky.social has details: bit.ly/4pp9eoi #neurotech

Out with the old and in with the new? A #NewYear means new questions to ask, new ideas to explore, and plenty of curiosity to go around.

Here’s to another year of #brain-y discoveries. #HappyNewYear from the @ieeebrain.bsky.social team! #neurotech #neurotechnology #2026

A #NewYear brings new possibilities. Put your #brain to work with @ieeebrain.bsky.social’s #CareerCenter, your hub for #jobs, insights, and opportunities in #neurotech and brain-inspired #engineering.

Smaller, smarter, and less invasive.

@themanilatimes.bsky.social says new nano-electronic #brain implants, from ultra-thin surface chips to injectable, self-navigating devices, point to a future of #neurological care with fewer surgeries and more precise treatment: bit.ly/4avTBHP #neurotech

As the year draws to a close, we’re grateful for a global community that is driven by curiosity and care.

From the @ieeebrain.bsky.social family to yours, we wish you days filled peaceful moments, bright ideas, and lasting inspiration and wonder. #HappyHolidays

We recently asked the @ieeebrain.bsky.social community which emerging #neurotechnology would have the biggest real-world impact in the next decade.

The verdict? Non-invasive #BCIs lead the way, followed by #AI-driven #neurorehab, neural #DigitalTwins, and precision #neurostimulation. #brain

When #neuroscience and #engineering meet, breakthroughs happen. Join the #IEEEBrain #TechnicalCommunity and connect with the global #IEEE network driving advances in #neurotech, #neuroethics, and #brain–computer interfaces: bit.ly/IEEEBrainTC #neurotechnology #BCI #IEEE

Interesting #brain computer interface breakthrough - researchers now have a way to auto-recalibrate #iBCIs using a hidden #MarkovModel, keeping cursor control stable for months with no manual tuning. It may enable long-term #BCI use. Details at @natbiomedeng.nature.com: go.nature.com/3KP0ppv
