Manipulation of neuronal activity by an artificial spiking neural network implemented on a closed-loop brain-computer interface in non-human primates
Authors: Mishler, J.H., Yun, R., Perlmutter, S., Rao, R.P.N. and Fetz, E.E. Publication: J. Neural Eng. Date: July 21, 2025 Abstract: Objective. Closed-loop brain-computer interfaces can be used to bridge, modulate, or repair damaged connections within the brain to restore functional deficits. Towards this goal, we demonstrate that small artificial spiking neural networks can be…

The “Wheels That Keep Me Goin’”: Invisible Forms of Support for Brain Pioneers
Authors: Brown, A.I., MacDuffie, K.E., Goering,S., Klein, E. Publication: Neuroethics Date: March 26, 2025 Abstract: Research participants in long-term, first-in-human trials of implantable neural devices (i.e., brain pioneers) are critical to the success of the emerging field of neurotechnology. How these participants fare in studies can make or break a research program. Yet, their ability…

Flexible modeling of large-scale neural network stimulation: Electrical and optical extensions to The Virtual Electrode Recording Tool for EXtracellular Potentials (VERTEX)
Authors: Pierce, A.F., Shupe, L., Bloch, J., Fetz, E. and Yazdan-Shahmorad, A. Publication: Journal of Neuroscience Methods Date: June 13, 2025 Abstract: Computational models that predict effects of neural stimulation can serve as a preliminary tool to inform in-vivo research, reducing costs, time, and ethical considerations. However, current models do not support the diverse neural…

New Implant for Stroke Rehabilitation
A team of University of Washington researchers, including faculty members of the CNT, implanted a device to help people who have had a stroke. Jeffrey Ojemann, Jeffrey Herron and Andrew Ko collaborated with clinicians, neuroscientists, engineers and others to determine how neural stimulation might induce neuroplastic changes in the brain to improve arm function after…
