🧠Our ‘Precision Neurotechnologies’ programme is LIVE
We're looking for neuroscientists, engineers (bio/ee/neuro), comp scientists, clinicians & more to help us build platform neurotech to interface with the human brain at the **circuit level**
Find out more + apply 👇
🧠Brain disorders have a huge social + economic impact – x3 that of heart disease. We’re aiming to build new precision neurotechnologies to interact with the central nervous system at the circuit level – where many complex disorders occur. Apply here:

This is WILD: High-density GHz-speed spatial light modulation enabled by CMOS-scale photonic crystal cavities 😱😱😱
From neuroscience to quantum computing to classical comms, this work will be a game changer for many fields!
Finally!
Backstory: A mm^2 -ish aperture of glass could easily carry all the world's data traffic passing through undersea fiber-optic cables (>10^15 bits/s). That huge bandwidth explains in part why it’s so difficult to completely control multimode light

I strongly agree with this sentiment, that the circuit-level understanding of many of the most complex and common brain disorders will lead to a bluring of the line between biologics and traditional neurotech. It's a key tenent of our programme thesis:
It was a lot of fun discussing how neurotech will “Biologizing the future” at

One take away: as we come to understand mental health disorders as circuit problems, we will see a lot more convergence between drug and device therapies.

If you needed more proof that London is a hustle: I left my week old Birkenstock’s outside overnight AND A FOX ATE THEM!!
What is this city!?
Eating a physicists birks is like eating a piece of their heart 😭

My colleague just put me onto the MASTER-8 😱
+/- 10 V programmable pulse trains across 8 channels, triggering between channels… what a beastl!
(I know you could do this with an NI card, but it doesn’t look as cool as this 20 yr + old instrument that still works flawlessly)

This is a huge deal: the first ultrasonic Ca2+ reporter! I think we’re going to see huge leaps in ultrasound hardware engineering + genetic engineering over the coming years! Can US imaging may become as routine as 2p optical imaging… the million dollar question
Can we image intracellular calcium with ultrasound?
Yes, w/ultrasonic reporters of calcium - URoCs!
Congrats to
@ZhiyangJin
and co-authors on creating the first genetically encoded acoustic biosensors of this universal cell signal based on
#gasvesicles
.

I can't emphasize how big a deal: partnering with a Tier-1 foundry and actually brining in NEW tools into their production line (incl. NbN for SC detectors!) is HUGE. These foundries are serious places (GF has a $5.5B revenue!) and it shows they believe in PsiQ's vision.
recent talk from
@PsiQuantum
- some v nice stuff here: 300mm wafers, 100k bondpads, slick animations!
Keen to hear more about the parameters that go into their fancy models, and more details on the teased new resource state prep simulations 🚀

Almost ANY physical system can be a neural network😱
Beautiful work by
@peterlmcmahon
and colleagues! I love papers like these that combine conceptual breakthroughs and a bunch of beautiful (and diverse) experiments. Truly inspiring. 🔥🔥🔥
The published version of our physical-neural-networks paper is out now in
@nature
. Congratulations to co-first authors

I’m still a relative newbie to neuroscience, but this is one of the most INSANE experiments I’ve seen in **any** field: activating a presynaptic neuron in one brain region and measuring the postsynaptic response in another brain region 2 mm away!! 🤯🧠🔬
Thrilled to share my PhD work, out in
@nature
today.
@fisekmehmet
& I developed an all-optical approach to study long-range connectivity across brain areas. Upshot: visual feedback is spatially organized & nonlinearly integrated in V1 apical dendrites.

Important result: low-power transcranial focused ultrasound can significantly reduce essential tremor. Doesn't seem to be thermal.
Lot's more work to do, understand patient variability etc, but certainly promising.
This:

@wellcometrust
mental health call just announced:
"We want projects that bring together experimental and theoretical neuroscientists w/ mental health practitioners as well as individuals w/ lived experience of mental health problems."
Huge congrats to the entire team!
New Wellcome Mental Health funding call!
Applying neuroscience to understand symptoms in anxiety, depression and psychosis.
Must include a computational and experimental component and take a symptom based approach.

Integrated NEURO-photonics set to be a game changer for neuroscience.
Implantable photonic probes for deep brain imaging (e.g. light sheet microscopy): optical + electrical + acoustic modalities all within a CMOS platform!
Looks like a beast of a paper...can't wait to dig in!

My mum was friends with someone who knew Craig David's mum.
What's your weakest claim to fame? I once dated the cousin of someone who played a cat nun on Doctor Who.
