Guy Wilson

I'm a neurosciences PhD candidate at Stanford, where I'm co-advised by Shaul Druckmann (neurobiology) and Krishna Shenoy (electrical engineering). Previously, I studied human PFC using ECoG recordings in Bob Knight's group at UC Berkeley, from which I graduated in 2018 with degrees in Mathematics and Molecular Biology.

I'm interested in how populations of neurons coordinate to support speech production, a uniquely human behavior that has enabled the rise of societies on the order of a billion individuals. I'm also interested in developing real-time intracortical brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) for people who cannot talk, leveraging methods from deep learning and signal processing toward this aim.
