Researcher combines AI and microelectronics to create neural implants that fight brain disorders – University of Toronto
Posted: October 19, 2022 at 2:44 pm
Neural implants can help treat brain disorderssuch as Parkinsons disease and epilepsyby directly modulating abnormal activities andthe University of TorontosXilin Liuis workingwithmicroelectronics and artificial intelligence tomake this emerging technology both safer and smarter.
Neurons talk to each other in part via electrical signals, and a therapeutic neural implant produces electrical stimulationlike a pacemaker for the brain, says Liu, an assistant professor in the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering. In cases of tremors or seizures, the stimulation attempts to restore the neurons to a normal condition.
Its as if the stimulus turns the neural networks off and on almost like restarting a computer,though its definitely not that simple. Scientists dont fully understand how it works yet.
Lius team integrates neural implants into miniature silicon chips via the same process for fabricating chips used in todays computers and smartphones. This technology, referred to as CMOS for complementary metal-oxide semiconductor, allows them to reduce the devices physical dimensions and power consumption, thus minimizing the risks associated with the implants initial surgical procedure and long-term use.
Weve developed many new microelectronic design techniques, such as high precision electrical stimulation with charge balancing, says Liu. We try to come at the problem from many different angles.
Liu is part ofthe neurotechnology centre CRANIA, a collaboration between the University of Toronto and the University Health Network, that brings together electrical and computer engineers alongside neuroscientists, data and material scientists and clinicians. Together, they research ways to improve brain health and chart alternative treatment paths, especially for those who dont respond well to current medications.
In a recent project, Liu and his team sought to leverage the power of AI to maximize the implants clinical efficacy and minimize the adverse effects of excessive stimulation.

The team turned to a type of AI called deep learning (DL) algorithms that, after being trained, can extract deep-level information when faced with novel data. These models proved to be especially powerful at identifying hidden biomarkers often neglected in conventional approachesand they outperformed conventional algorithms when detecting the optimal timing.
Most existing implants produce electrical stimulation at a constant rate, regardless of the patients condition, says Liu. With DL, we can activate the neural implants at the optimal time and only when necessary.
However, the high computational cost of deep learningmodels makes it a challenge to integrate, especially considering that its essential that all processing runs locally in the implants.
The cloud would provide more processing power, but you cant have an implant fail because it loses telecommunication service when a patient goes into an elevator or airplane, for example, says Liu.
To reduce this computational cost, Liu and his team developed techniques for training and optimizing the models for each patients condition. A recent case study showed that detection of epileptic seizures by deep learning in low-power neural implants was comparable to state-of-the-art algorithms that run in high-performance computers. This work waspublished in 2021 in theJournal of Neural Engineering.
Liu says that his teams technology can be used in a broad range of clinical applications beyond epilepsy, noting that up to one billion people worldwide suffer from various brain disorders.
The necessity of open-minded collaboration is something Liu aims to impress on the graduate students who take hisnew neuromodulation course, debuting this fall.
Theres so much going on in the brain, says Liu. You need a range of experts to understand and provide solutions for these disorders, which will only become more common as human life expectancy increases.
Future targets include chronic pain, depression and dementias. Liu is already contemplating how neuromodulation therapies may help people with Alzheimers disease.
Impaired sleep has been associated with Alzheimers, and many people suffer from different levels of sleep disorders, says Liu. We are investigating closed-loop neuromodulation techniques to improve sleep quality by reinforcing or inhibiting certain brain rhythms.
The brain is pretty amazing.

Pitt scientists awarded $8 million for neurotechnology to restore arm and hand movements after strokes – University of Pittsburgh
Posted: October 15, 2022 at 5:39 pm
Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery Dr. Marco Capogrosso was awarded a five-year, $8 million grant from the National Institutes of Healths Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechologies (BRAIN) Initiative to design and test a system for the electrical neurostimulation of the cervical spinal cord to reduce arm and hand motor impairments in people with severe stroke.
In collaboration with co-principal investigator Douglas Weber, professor of biomedical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, and colleagues from Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University and Germany-based neurotech company CorTec GmbH, the Pitt team will develop and test a fully implantable spinal cord neurostimulation system that could be used to control electrical stimulation patterns in real time.
The device developed by CorTec will be designed to specifically target the cervical spinal cord and used to determine stimulation parameters that improve strength and motor control of the arm and hand in patients who are partially unable to move their limbs after a severe stroke.
The researchers seek to obtain regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to use the device in clinical rehabilitation settings and to test its efficacy to improve motor control in combination with physical training.
This project follows Capogrossos work on spinal cord stimulation showing that electrical stimulation improves arm control in paralyzed monkeys. The Pitt research team is now working to enroll participants in a clinical trial testing spinal cord stimulation to restore arm movement in people with stroke.

UN: Highlights from the 51st Session of the Human Rights Council – ARTICLE 19 – Article 19
Posted: at 5:39 pm
On 7 October 2022, the UN Human Rights Council concluded its 51st Session in Geneva. This session was significant geopolitically, with China and Russia being discussed directly at the Council. Over four weeks, States held debates and passed resolutions on a wide range of human rights issues, contributing to an elaborate set of international standards promoting the right to freedom of expression. While the Council made some progress in responding to certain county-specific situations, it failed to do so in other critical contexts.
ARTICLE 19 promoted the right to freedom of expression throughout the session, including taking part in negotiations on a wide range of thematic resolutions, including on the safety of journalists, terrorism and human rights, new and emerging technologies in the military domain, and neurotechnologies. We also made statements on privacy in the digital age, as well as on country-specific concerns in Cambodia and Myanmar.
Austria together with a core group of Brazil, France, Greece, Morocco, Qatar and Tunisia led a strong resolution on the safety of journalists which was adopted by consensus and co-sponsored by 69 countries from all world regions. A decade since the Human Rights Council first adopted a resolution on the safety of journalists, this updated version adds progressive commitments to an already robust set of international standards.
This is notably the first time a UN resolution has contained guidance on strategic lawsuits against public participation, expressing concern about the rise of these lawsuits to exercise pressure, intimidate or exhaust the resources and morale of journalists and calling on governments to adopt laws and policies that prevent and alleviate such cases. It also contained strong language on an array of other issues from conducting investigations into attacks against journalists, to extraterritorial attacks, to protests. You can read the full analysis of the resolution here.
We now call on all States particularly those leading and co-sponsoring the resolution to show leadership and translate these renewed international commitments into allocation of resources and political will at the national level.
Egypt and Mexico also co-led a resolution on terrorism and human rights. After difficult negotiations, the resolution was adopted by consensus, signalling renewed commitment to ensure human rights and the rule of law are central in counter-terrorism efforts. This resolution sits within a vast UN architecture on counter-terrorism which is increasingly complex and opaque, with a lack of meaningful opportunities for diverse and independent civil society engagement.
We advocated tirelessly for the importance of freedom of opinion and expression in fighting terrorism and therefore welcome the inclusion of paragraphs underlining explicitly the need for respect for freedom of expression on the one hand and the right to privacy on the other. We also welcome language on international human rights obligations in transfers of terrorist suspects, profiling of individuals, detention, the right to a fair trial and other due process guarantees, as well as on children rights and the crucial role of civil society. However, we regret that the resolution is marred with security-based concerns and language on information communications technologies that is both vague and unrelated to the competence of the Council to promote of human rights in the fight against terrorism.
We continue to urge all States to refrain from violating the rights of those exercising their right to freedom of expression and related rights, online and offline, under the guise of countering terrorism or extremism.
Austria and Panama co-led a consensually adopted resolution on the human rights implications of new and emerging technologies in the military domain. This relates to a set of resolutions and initiatives at the Human Rights Council on new and emerging technologies in a general sense which have so far been quiet on the use of these technologies for military purposes.
The resolution is short and mandates the Advisory Committee to publish a report on the topic in three years time. We welcome this upcoming report and share deep concerns about how new and emerging technologies are not only leading to egregious human rights violations when used for military purposes, but how these technologies are spilling over and committing grave harms in our everyday lives, including when used for law enforcement. We believe that the Human Rights Council has a key role in addressing these issues international human rights law and international humanitarian law are complementary and mutually reinforcing.
We urge the Advisory Committee to work alongside the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and to also undertake an effective and meaningful consultation with diverse civil society, including human rights and humanitarian organisations, as they prepare the report over the next three years.
The European Union with the exception of Hungary passed a landmark resolution creating a Special Rapporteur on the Russian Federation. This is the first time that a human rights monitoring mechanism has been created for one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council (known as the P-5). The historic resolution was passed with 17 votes in favour and 6 votes against adoption, with 24 abstentions. This is not the only UN forum that has taken recent action on Russia the UN General Assembly also just passed by a strong majority a resolution condemning its illegal so-called referendums in regions within Ukraine and demanding it reverses it annexation declaration.
The Russian authorities have launched a whole-sale attack on independent media, including on the safety of journalists and media workers, who continue to conduct their vital work in unprecedented conditions. Across the country, thousands of protesters have been detained for expressing critical or dissenting views. It is in these conditions that we have documented the use of biometric recognition technologies in public spaces, leading to even more severe chilling effects on free speech and protest.
We express our full and strong support for the Special Rapporteur and stand ready to meaningfully engage with the mandate.
The Council shamefully rejected a resolution led by Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States on the human rights situation in Xinjiang. The resolution received 17 votes in favour and 19 votes against adoption, with 11 abstentions.
The resolution, with only two short paragraphs, merely called for a debate on the High Commissioners recent report which detailed systematic human rights violations and possible crimes against humanity targeting Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang. No country, regardless of its political might or economic standing, should be allowed to evade scrutiny of such an egregious human rights situation. The rejection of the resolution suggests that certain countries can escape accountability, in violation of the Councils principles of universality, objectivity, and non-selectivity the very principles opponents of the resolution claim to champion.
We commend the core group of the resolution and encourage other countries dedicated to the protection of human rights to join them in maintaining and enhancing efforts to ensure accountability for atrocity crimes in Xinjiang. We strongly deplore that the Human Rights Council did not adopt this resolution and condemn those countries that voted no or abstained on this initiative.
Chile, Greece and Singapore brought forward a short resolution on neurotechnology and human rights.
Similarly to the resolution on the human rights implications of new and emerging technologies in the military domain, this is a short text which mandates the Advisory Committee to publish a report on this topic. We welcome attention on this issue given neurotechnologies are being developed to access, monitor and manipulate the neural system of individuals, with a lack of transparency, therefore bringing unprecedented risks on the right to privacy and even the absolute right to hold opinions without interference.
We urge the Advisory Committee to consult widely with civil society in the drafting of this report and underline that neurotechnologies should not be developed, deployed or used before we understand their human rights impacts and societal implications.

Brain ScienceConsciousness as the Property of Thought | Neurotech – VGR.com
Posted: October 6, 2022 at 12:11 pm
Life is not breathing, neither is it heartbeat. Though vital, they are engines for the basic quantity of experience. They are not often prioritized in processes, so their share of what it means to be and to know isnt particularly outsized.
Life is thoughtbuilt by brain cells and molecules. Thought is how to know. Thought has properties. Knowing locations are memory where thought acquire properties for experiences. When someone remembers something, thought got there and acquired that, if forgotten, it was unable to be acquired.
When there is an emotion, mood, interest, delight, anger, hate and so on, they are properties in memory destinations, acquired by thoughts relaying there.
Thought is what drives the extent to know. Consciousness is by how much it is possible to know. The more any organism can know, the more conscious the organism is. There are objects with molecules that cannot know, hence they are not conscious. There are organisms with levels of what they can know, regardless of how sharp a particular sense is. It is knowing, at any point, that determines conscious experience.
States of consciousness also, are graded by knowing. Coma, sleep, general anesthesia and others have forms of thought, but not relaying to where they acquire certain properties to bear levels of experience for attention and awareness.
Thought can acquire or lose properties across experiences. When someone is hungry, but something scary happens, or some news of a situation, and the hunger goes away, it can be said that the thought lost that property, then acquired for fear or something else. Thought properties make up an overall of construct of cells.
Thought can be prioritized [just one] or pre-prioritized [others] though interchanges are fast and numerous between those.
Prioritized is close to attention but more expansive. Pre-prioritized encompasses awareness, but exceeds that to processes ongoing not even in awareness.
Thought function is what sets physical or mechanical functions across the body, for internal senses and with external senses.
Thought, with representative properties in memory locations, can cause physical sensation, controlled or automatically.
Thought properties are thebasis of all mental health and illnesses. They are also the form with which memory is stored. Thought with certain limited properties is what neurotechnology accesses in cortical areas.
Thought is what represents senses, or the identity, uniformity, or integration of senses, from their differentiated types, coming into the thalamus and olfactory bulb for processing.
Thought is what relays to the cerebral cortex for interpretation. It is thought that goes in old and new sequences, getting better on cognitive tasks after a while.
The future of mental care is thought properties and how they are acquired to determine experience, which is possible byvideo games and other digital displays.

ARC Future Fellowships awarded to Turner Institute researchers – Monash University
Posted: September 17, 2022 at 11:22 pm
You are here:
16 September 2022
The Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health researchers, Associate Professor Trevor Chong and Associate Professor Adrian Carter have received 2022 ARC Future Fellowships.
Future Fellowships are awarded to outstanding mid-career researchers, who will receive funding support for the next 4 years.
These fellowships are extraordinarily competitive and recognise the outstanding research programs and leaders in their fields, said the Director of the Turner Institute, Professor Kim Cornish.
Both Trevor and Adrian have demonstrated significant research impact and international recognition in cognitive neuroscience and neuroethics, respectively.
A/P Adrian Carter is researching ethical frameworks for responsible innovation of neurotechnology.
Neurotechnology is advancing at a rapid pace, with new drugs, brain implants, and monitoring technologies emerging to better diagnose, prevent and predict mental and neurological illness, A/P Carter said.
My hope is that this fellowship will ensure that advances in neuroscience research are able to benefit all Australians, particularly under-served populations while maximising people's privacy, agency and participation in the process.
He said this meant that the voices of those affected by mental illness and neurological disease in the research and implementation of neurotechnological innovation will be represented and heard.
Associate Professor Chong will be researching the neurobiology of curiosity by combining cutting-edge techniques in computational modelling, pharmacointervention, and neuroimaging.
Curiosity is the bedrock of learning, education, and discovery, A/P Chong said.
Our insatiable desire to pursue and relieve our curiosity drives innovations that directly impact our health, economies, and social well-being. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a reduction in curiosity is characteristic of depressive illnesses and apathy, which have debilitating consequences.
Despite the importance of curiosity to our lives, we have a limited understanding of the brain processes that drive it.
The goal of my Fellowship is to develop a biological framework that explains what makes people curious, and why.
The Australian Government is funding 100 mid-career researchers to focus on finding solutions for key industry challenges and training the next generation of researchers under the ARC Future Fellowships scheme.
The ARC Future Fellowships scheme attracts and helps retain the best and brightest mid-career researchers, as they undertake research in areas of national importance, said Ms Judi Zielke PSM, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Australian Research Council (ARC)

Martin McDonaghs superb dark comedy about the abrupt breakup of lifelong friends (a never-better Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson) evolves steadily into an unexpectedly poignant account of a bond severed, though never erased.
