Neuroscience News

How early cognitive research funded by the NSF paved the way for today’s AI breakthroughs—and how AI is now inspiring new understandings of the human mind.

Learn about the experience of several participants in the BrainGate brain-computer interface clinical trial, and the large team effort by Wu Tsai Neuro affiliates Jaimie Henderson, Paul Nuyujukian, and the late Krishna Shenoy over the past decade to get n

Erin Kunz, third year PhD student in Electrical Engineering, started her career developing autonomous vehicles at General Motors (GM) — but now she uses her software engineering and machine learning skills in the Neural Prosthetics Translational Lab.

Linderman’s research group builds computational tools to extract simple structures from high-dimensional datasets, enhancing our understanding of the brain and its processes. He spoke with us about his work and the McKnight award.

Tool-builder Sean Bendall discusses Multiplexed Ion Beam Imaging (MIBI), a powerful new tissue imaging technology that might shine a light on key questions in neurodegenerative disease, including what makes some brains seemingly resilient to Alzheimer’s.

Former Wu Tsai Neuro interdisciplinary postdoctoral scholar Sergey Stavisky discusses his passion for developing brain computer interfaces to restore speech and movement to people with paralysis.

Neuroscientists face a paradox. The field aims to understand the mysteries of the human mind, but studying the actual human brain cells and circuits that produce our mental lives—and how they go awry in neuropsychiatric disease—is incredibly challenging.

Todd Coleman has joined Wu Tsai Neuro as our newest Institute Scholar. His home department, Stanford Bioengineering, asked him a to share a few stories about himself and his interests.
