🔘Speech motor cortex enables BCI cursor control and click
tl;dr: demonstrated that ventral motor cortex (typically used for speech) can enable high-performance cursor control • rapid calibration (40 seconds) and accurate control (2.90 bits/sec) from vPCG neural signals • all 4 arrays showed click-related activity, with best cursor control from dorsal 6v area • system enabled real-world computer use including Netflix browsing and gaming link:https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.11.12.623096
🔘Optogenetic stimulation of a cortical biohybrid implant guides goal directed behavior
tl;dr: novel BCI approach using living neurons on brain surface instead of invasive electrodes • achieves 50% neuron survival by avoiding vascular damage during implantation • transplanted neurons naturally integrate and show spontaneous activity • mice successfully detect optogenetic stimulation to perform reward task link: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.11.22.624907v1 press:https://science.xyz/technologies/biohybrid/
my thought: speech motor cortex enabling netflix browsing in 40 seconds of calibration? that's the kind of real-world usability we've been waiting for. not just lab demos, but actual everyday control.
the biohybrid approach is tackling the integration problem from a completely different angle. getting living neurons to interface with the brain might sound complex, but it could be the elegant solution we need.
Pretty exciting to see BCI tech moving from "can we do it?" to "how do we make it better?"

And indeed, volatility has been a hallmark of the market environment so far in 2022, with the S&P 500 still down more than 10% for the year-to-date after first sliding into a correction last month. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, has held at a lofty level of more than 30. The account, "War on Fakes," was created on February 24, the same day Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" and troops began invading Ukraine. The page is rife with disinformation, according to The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, which studies digital extremism and published a report examining the channel. I want a secure messaging app, should I use Telegram? The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week showed another surge in prices even before Russia escalated its attacks in Ukraine. The headline CPI — soaring 7.9% over last year — underscored the sticky inflationary pressures reverberating across the U.S. economy, with everything from groceries to rents and airline fares getting more expensive for everyday consumers.
