Assistant Professor for Brain-Computer Interfaces at Maastricht University using machine learning to build the connection between artificial and natural intelligence.
Erin Kunz, Benjamin Abramovich, Frank Willett and colleagues published their amazing study on inner speech decoding from MEAs in the motor cortex. You can find the full study here:

The NYT asked about my opinion on this study, see: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/s...
Research in BCIs is moving fast in China. I tried to convey my enthusiasm when being interviewed for this piece

Very clever! I always print them on block and then spend way too much time getting rid of the supports.

Two post-doc positions in #iEEG research at the University of Bern, Switzerland, in the group of Prof. Athina Tzovara. Top PI, top city, #iEEG research: what's not to like?

On Thursday, we have our workshop (W20) on speech BCIs with an amazing collection of speakers!
Really happy to be at my favorite conference, the @bcisociety.bsky.social Meeting in Banff. The location is stunning and so is all the science being presented.
Today, Paul Weger will present his poster (B22) on adding frontal error potentials to intracranial BCI.
Our correspondence on a definition of BCIs has just been published. Check out how @marcslutzky.bsky.social , @mjvansteensel.bsky.social , Robert Gaunt and I summarize the @bcisociety.bsky.social definition: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check out this new article about the amazing new study by @changlabucsf.bsky.social with my 5 cents added.
31.03.2025 20:00 — 👍 8 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0We found that articulatory and acoustic representations are relatively localized and left hemisphere dominant, while semantic representations are distributed over the entire brain. We hope that this might be the starting point for BCIs that tap into the meaning of what patients want to say.

Maxime Verwoert's paper on different representations of speech production in distributed intracranial recordings of neural activity is now published:
www.nature.com/articles/s42...
We have a very exciting 4-year PhD position available at the @dondersinst.bsky.social, to better understand how neuronal populations generate magnetic fields and how to measure those intracranially, with Corette Wierenga & @gauteeinevoll.bsky.social.

Thanks for your kind words. I agree, we also make no claims about causality.

11.02.2025 08:59 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Really excited by this new study: @mottenhoff.bsky.social used a gamified experiment to show that goal-oriented movement could be decoded from distributed neural recordings. This is in-line with findings in rodents that the whole brain is involved in motor control (@carandinilab.net).
