Sam Altman’s new startup wants to merge machines and humans Merge Labs is a new Neuralink rival developing brain-computer interfaces.

Sam Altman just got into BCI by backing Merge Labs 🧠

- Valued at $850M after a $250M raise
- Developing high-performance, non-invasive brain-computer interfaces
- Their bet: focused ultrasound + neuronal gene editing (sonogenetics)

CorTec Announces Neurotech Milestone: First Human Implantation of a Brain-Computer Interface made in Germany | CorTec | Thinking ahead – Innovation in Neurotechnology Marking a milestone for CorTec. The First implantation of the Brain Interchange System took place at Harborview Medical Center (Seattle).

German BCI startup CorTec announces first in-human use of a fully implanted ECoG grid 🇩🇪🧠

The Seattle-based trial, led by Jeffrey Ojemann (U Washington) and Steven Cramer (UCLA), tests if cortical stimulation can aid upper limb recovery of stroke patients.

A generic non-invasive neuromotor interface for human-computer interaction - Nature A high-bandwidth neuromotor interface offers performant out-of-the-box generalization across people.

Meta published their EMG wristband in Nature 📄

They developed a non-invasive neuromotor interface using a wrist-worn device for decoding gestures and handwriting. Its performance scales with the number of participants and can be further enhanced through personalized user tuning.

WormSNAP: A software for fast, accurate, and unbiased detection of fluorescent puncta in C. elegans The detection and characterization of fluorescent puncta are critical tasks in image analysis pipelines for fluorescence imaging. Existing methods for quantitative characterization of such puncta ofte...

Our newest preprint is out: an automated code-free method developed for quantifying synapses in C. elegans (but also useful for other fluorescent puncta/organisms!) that we're calling "WormSNAP" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #wormfeed #neuropapers

Intracellular protein-lipid interactions drive presynaptic assembly prior to neurexin recruitment Neurexin cell-adhesion molecules regulate synapse development and function by recruiting synaptic components. Here, we uncover a mechanism for presyna…
