@JustinTrudeau and @elonmusk share some Gileadian/The Handmaid's Tale vibe. See a political map of Gilead presented during an event for the season 2 finale
There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States. Workers and communities in both our countries benefit from being each other’s biggest trading and security partner.

Exploring space and our mind are philosophically intertwined. Space exploration shows us, that, in the words of Helen Sharman, the first British astronaut to travel into space, ‘… this whole nation state is a dwindle, because we are sharing an atmosphere, technology that we absolutely need to survive …’ Our perspective expands from countries, to continents, to the whole planet, and then possibly beyond, as Sultan bin Salman Al Saud noted. Similar arch is enabled by neuroscience and neurotech, from an individual cell, to circuits, to the whole brain and mind, and then to a hive mind and beyond. #Space #Neuroscience #bci #neurotech #spacetech
"The first day or so we all pointed to our countries. The third or fourth day we were pointing to our continents. By the fifth day we were aware of only one Earth." – Sultan Bin Salman al-Saud, Saudi Arabia #HomePlanet

This is a big step towards BMIs’ platformisation and eventually wider adoption
We think this is important because it means that with an implant optimized for speech neuroprosthesis performance, good cursor control comes "for free". Now our participant has full keyboard AND mouse control of his personal computer. 🧠➡️⌨️🖱️ Preprint:

Some evening reading - I've prepared yet another eclectic collection of links and papers that are relevant to the inaugural @NYBCI / #NYBCI2024
@SinaiBioDesign. These are mostly authored by the event speakers (but do not necessarily correspond to their talks). A summary and a link to a note are below. Overview of implantable systems by @iburkhart, with insights on these systems from @FlorianSolzbacher, @DBRubin, Florian Solzbacher, Vikash Gilja, @maxhodak_, @MJvanSteensel, @crone_nathan, Jamie Brannigan, @tomoxl, @petereyoo, and - moderated by @mcbridesg; Work on various challenges associated with implantable BCIs by @Chad_Bouton , @JoshBedersonMD, @chriskellnerMD, @robert_gaunt1, @JMoccoMD; Clinical and user experience, by @DavidMcMullen and Anthony (TJ) Sutphin; User preferences by @MJvanSteensel , @Abbey_Sawyer1, David Putrino/@PutrinoLab, @blaircaseynola/@TeamGleason, @iburkhart , Jennifer French/@NeurotechNetwk; Ethical challenges by @dougweberlab, @MJvanSteensel, @NitaFarahany; High-performance HCI/enhancement by David Putrino/@PutrinoLabBlair, @IgnacioSaezPhD; Neurotech translation - Isabelle Germano//@MountSinaiNeuro; Funding - @dougweberlab, @genomicsdoc/@khoslaventures; I also added some relevant papers from amazing folks who don't speak at the event, but add context/ideas, @tgconstandinou , @adyrapeaux, Gerwin Schalk, @mekosal.

Neurotech moonshot - a lunch-break/weekend reading for fellow neurotech enthusiasts. I've laid out some ideas on how we at aim to make brain-machine interface happen. Contrary to the startup wisdom, we suggest focusing on the tech, not on the product. We also think that if someone wants to build a consumer/GPT BMI, they should focus on it, even if it's all about medical devices right now. #BCI #Neuroscience #neurotech #deeptech

I took a red-eye flight to get to this session, can’t imagine a better place to explore speech neuroprostheses
Interested in speech neuroprostheses? Come to the #SfN24 minisymposium organized by @HerffC and I. We have a fantastic lineup chosen to survey the many directions this field can go in: different recording modalities, languages, and behaviors (e.g. attempted vs. imagined speech).

If I were shooting a promo video for a BMI startup, that would be the soundtrack
