While the icy conditions made for a cold night of camping, it was all worth it to wake up to this untouched blanket of snow over the dunes- utterly surreal landscape.

Went on a short backpacking trip as I was finishing up my thesis last December. Compiled some of the footage into a YouTube video :)

We were at the great sand dunes in Colorado- so much snow! and sand! and wind! ❄️⏳⌛️

Transfer learning via distributed brain recordings enables reliable speech decoding - Nature Communications Speech brain-computer interfaces face challenges scaling across individuals with different brain organization. Using minimally invasive recordings from 25 patients, the authors developed transfer learning methods that enable robust speech decoding even with incomplete brain coverage.

New Paper in Nature Communications!

We present exciting work on applying transfer learning on minimally invasive recordings to build scalable speech BCI for a more heterogeneous population. #iEEG #neuroskyence

How Much Energy Does It Take To Think? | Quanta Magazine Studies of neural metabolism reveal our brain’s effort to keep us alive and the evolutionary constraints that sculpted our most complex organ.

Recent research shows that inactivity consumes nearly as much brain energy as effortful, goal-directed cognitive tasks. @conorfeehly.bsky.social‬ reports: www.quantamagazine.org/how-much-ene...
