?? Advancing Neural Engineering for American Lives ???? The University of Pittsburgh Neural Engineering program is pioneering research to enhance brain function and restore mobility lost due to injury or disease. Supported by American taxpayers, this work is delivering breakthroughs that directly impact individuals affected by neurological disorders, spinal cord injuries, and brain trauma. https://lnkd.in/ei6WyZCp ?? Key Findings & Breakthroughs: ? Walking Adaptation & Rehabilitation – Research is uncovering how the brain and nervous system adjust to changes in movement, leading to more effective rehabilitation strategies for individuals recovering from stroke or spinal cord injury. ?? Why It Matters to Everyday Americans: ?? More effective treatments – Insights from walking adaptation research are contributing to better rehabilitation programs, improving recovery times, and enhancing mobility for those affected by neurological conditions. ?? Maximizing taxpayer investment in healthcare innovation – Cutting-edge research in neural engineering strengthens the U.S. medical technology sector, supporting economic growth and global leadership. ?? Improving quality of life – These discoveries provide practical solutions to restore movement and independence, benefiting veterans, aging populations, and those recovering from injuries. Taxpayer-funded research is driving tangible improvements in healthcare and rehabilitation, ensuring that advancements in neural engineering lead to real-world benefits. #NeuralEngineering #RehabilitationScience #HealthcareInnovation #WalkingAdaptation #Neuroscience #UniversityofPittsburgh

UC Davis researchers are discovering neuroengineering solutions to help head and neck cancer patients regain their ability to talk after treatment. They're restoring voices and identities by decoding muscle-generated signals into personalized speech at the phonemic level — the way someone says “a” in apple, for example. ??

If you start with Everest, every other mountain is a molehill. Our first application is the hardest to solve with BCI: Speech Prothesis. Paradromics' implant will turn thoughts and speech into text. We have transfer rates North of 100 bits per second. That is 10x more information than the Neuralink device. Under the leadership of CEO Matt Angle, we are honored to have BCI leaders David Brandman, MD, PhD from UC Davis and Dr. Daniel Rubin, MD PhD from Mass General and Harvard at the helm of the planned Connexus BCI Clinical Study to restore speech, our first clinical application for our BCI platform. Paradromics is building the industry-leading brain-computer interface (BCI) platform. Its advanced neurotechnology captures brain activity at the highest resolution, the individual neuron. This rich brain data lays the foundation for boundless AI-enabled applications. The high-performing, cosmetically invisible Connexus BCI downloads brain activity and decodes with advanced artificial intelligence, to support the seamless translation of thought into action. #BCI #Neurotech #VC #Biotech #AI #Health Green Sands Equity NEOM Capital Factory Prime Movers Lab Max Planck Society Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Emerson Collective University of California, Davis Harvard University Mass General Hospital https://lnkd.in/g5uhWhdZ
