More than 5 million people in the United States are affected by limb loss or paralysis. Technological devices that directly interact with the brain, known as brain-computer interfaces, offer the potential to decode an individuals thoughts and translate them into action using a robotic arm or a cursor on a screen. These neuroprosthetics can take the place of an amputated or paralyzed arm, for instance, helping the user take an action.

Much research in this field to date has focused on decoding brain signals what is it that the person wants to do?

But theres another equally important part of any real-world prosthetic system. It needs to be able to convey information in the other direction, too, back to the brain to provide feedback from the external world. Think about how challenging it would be to interact with the world in the absence of touch. Tasks such as lighting a match, picking up an egg and grasping a coffee cup become tremendously difficult.

At the University of Washingtons Center for Neurotechnology, our team is working out how best to engineer stimulation to the brain to restore tactile sensations that allow people to perform useful tasks. To this end, we are studying how people respond to sensation triggered by electrical stimulation of the brain. Our goal is to help devise a system that someday will allow someone who has lost the sense of touch to feel a loved ones hand again.

Collaborating with neurosurgeons Jeffrey Ojemann and Andrew Ko, we rely on patient volunteers who generously allow us to carry out research while they are undergoing treatment for epilepsy.

To help localize the origin of a patients seizures prior to removing brain tissue to potentially help their epilepsy, Ojemann and Ko temporarily implant small, metal electrodes on top of and within the patients brain. These electrodes monitor the brains epileptic seizures so the neurosurgeons know where and where not to operate.

Our experiments use those same electrodes in two ways. We can record the electrical activity of the brains neurons. And we are also able to inject small amounts of electric current into specific parts of the brain. When we send a small burst of electricity to the touch-processing areas of the brain, the person experiences tactile sensations. In other words, when we activate particular neurons with electricity, the volunteer experiences it as if we were touching a particular part of their body.

In one study, we wanted to understand which tactile sensation an individual would perceive faster artificial stimulation due to direct electrical stimulation of the brain via electrode, or natural tactile sensation due to a real touch on the patients hand?

We asked our subjects to press a button as quickly as possible using the hand opposite to where they felt the sensation. They were blindfolded to eliminate the potential for visual feedback that might confound our results.

What we discovered was surprising. Individuals responded more slowly to direct stimulation of their brains primary somatosensory cortex compared to a natural touch to their fingers. Even though an electric signal directly from the electrode in the brain bypassed all the peripheral nerves between the hand and head, the signal that traveled the longer journey up the ascending sensory nerves registered first.

This result held up even when we tested subjects again after a short break, suggesting that it cannot be explained solely as a novel sensation that the subjects needed time to learn.

[The Conversations science, health and technology editors pick their favorite stories. Weekly on Wednesdays.]

Previous studies in nonhuman primates have found similar delays in reaction time relative to natural touch when researchers delivered electrical stimulation to a single location within somatosensory cortex. On the other hand, more recent research using multiple electrodes to stimulate somatosensory cortex in nonhuman primates found that such electrical stimulation could elicit response times slightly faster than natural touch.

Together, these studies demonstrate the complexities of stimulating the brain to replace natural tactile feedback. Future technologies and engineering strategies will need to take into account variability in touch sensation depending on how electrical stimulation is targeted in the brain.

By discovering a delay in how people respond to direct electrical stimulation of their brains, we have revealed potential limitations in how current engineered solutions perform. The delay might limit how well future sensory neuroprosthetic devices using these clinical electrodes can work.

Designers may need to account for a significant lag in artificial sensation relative to natural touch. For instance, if a user doesnt receive feedback from touch sensors on a robotic hand quickly enough, and the overall system does not account for this delay in perception, someone attempting to pick up an egg with a robotic hand could apply too much pressure and crush it.

To improve reaction times and more broadly to enhance the utility of direct brain stimulation, we will need to take into account ongoing brain activity and tailor the electrical stimulation patterns for each persons brain and the task at hand.

To achieve this goal, we have recently proposed a new type of brain-computer interface called a brain co-processor, which uses artificial intelligence to compute the best stimulation patterns for a task given current brain activity. Such an approach allows multiple electrodes to be used, possibly targeting multiple regions, and relies on co-adaptation with the brain to better approximate natural sensations.

Can electrical stimulation meaningfully substitute for natural touch during a complex task in the real world? We believe so. It will require both understanding the intricacies of information processing in the brain and incorporating this knowledge into future brain co-processors and neuroprosthetic devices for restoring touch.

Not every trip is about packing a bag: discover these two executive-health voyages ofdiscovery without leaving B.C.

Whistler-based wearable neurotechnology company Sens.aiis making the neurofeedback training used by top athletes and executives more accessible. Its headset (around US$1,000) stimulates alpha, gamma, theta and SMR brainwaves.

Sens.ai claims that by using neurofeedback training for 20 minutes, three times a week, over eight weeks, users can expect enhanced calm, sleep, creativity and concentration. A study showed 19-percent faster thinking speed, 16-percent better accuracy in timed tasks requiring classification, decision making and physical response, and 12-percent faster physical reaction time.

The company raised half a million U.S. dollars from early adopters through an Indiegogo campaign last year, and with a production run in progress, we will go into a more traditional direct-to-consumer sales process in Q2 of 2022, says CMO Kevin Corkum.

Visiting the new Vancouver location of Field Trip Health could be a transformational journey. We provide ketamine-assisted therapies to people who need them to help improve their mental health and well-being, says executive chair Ronan Levy. Our clients tend to be corporate executives who recognize that their mental health and well-being are essential for not only their happiness, but also their performance.

A pioneer in evidence-based, medically supervised, psychedelic-assisted therapy, Canadian company Field Trip opened its first clinic in Toronto and now has nine North American locations, plus one in Amsterdam, and dozens more planned by 2024. The Vancouver outlet is its first to include alternative therapy spaces where local healers can also offer services.

Guests at Nightingale restaurant in Vancouver last winter didnt just get a meal: they got schooled. Toronto-based etiquette expert Susy Fossati, trained at the top U.K. institution English Manner, runs adult etiquette workshops in B.C. that are ideal for global businesspeople, whether youre interacting with colleagues virtually or in person. Its about building confidence, grace and being your most likable self, at all times, Fossati says.

As international business travel ramps back up, insight into local protocol can be a very powerful tool, she notes. We always want to respect the rules of etiquette in the country we are visiting.

Two years into virtual meeting culture, its still so surprising to see the considerable amounts of faux pas happening during Zoom business meetings, Fossati says, recommending business-casual office attire head to toe (ditch the sweatpants-and-COVID-shirt combo), muting noisy backgrounds and avoiding eating and drinking on camera (and camera-on is the polite default setting: You are your living brand, at all times, she says).

Through her company, Avignon Etiquette, Fossati also customizes private sessions, and has given groups of women and small businesses adult-specific etiquette training, as well as childrens instruction.

Omniscient Neurotechnologys Quicktome Platform Wins 2022 ...

In the United States alone, more than 100 million people are affected by at least one neurological disease. These conditions, which range from Alzheimers disease to depression and Parkinsons disease, cost the health care system almost $800 billion per year. The toll is far higher if you add in the almost unquantifiable financial and emotional costs of diminished quality of life and caretaking.

While the brain has historically been difficult to study directly, applied neuroscience is on the verge of transformative breakthroughs that could provide enormous benefits as well as harms.

Technologies such as brain-computer interfaces provide unprecedented power to influence or control brain processes through noninvasive devices attached to the outside of the head or invasive devices such as electrodes or implants inserted into the brain. These devices can stimulate the brain to affect movement, sensations, or behavior, and may eventually repair previously permanent brain and nervous system injuries. But they may also monitor an individuals private thoughts or emotions.

Brain-computer interfaces are not brand new the first such device was implanted in a human brain two decades ago. Electrodes implanted in the brain have been used to treat more than 100,000 people with Parkinsons disease or epilepsy. But the technology is on the verge of a great leap forward in both capabilities and applications as a result of public applied neuroscience efforts such as the National Institutes of Healths BRAIN Initiative and private efforts such as Elon Musks Neuralink.

While applied neuroscience holds tremendous promise for treating people with various neurological conditions, it also raises longer-term concerns about potential intrusions into privacy, autonomy, and freedom. It may be possible, at some point in the future, for companies and governments to use these technologies to monitor, influence, or even control individuals thoughts, emotions, and behavior.

advertisement

Thats why it is urgent and necessary to put in place appropriate guardrails now to prevent unethical or unsafe applications of the technology at both the national and international levels. Neurotechnology cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of social media, whose tremendous benefits are being jeopardized by the failure to address up front potential harms and misuse. At the same time, governance must be based on realistic projections of a technologys capabilities new revolutionary technologies are often subject to unrealistic hype and unfounded fears of dystopian futures. The establishment of realistic guardrails must also be accompanied by a high-level strategy for advancing the technology as fast as possible in order to achieve its potential benefits and improve health and wellness for many people.

To develop such a comprehensive oversight approach, we call for the creation of a high-level White House task force to craft a roadmap for the effective governance of applied neuroscience technologies. It would be similar to the Electronic Commerce Working Group established in the late 1990s during the Clinton-Gore administration to address the emergence of the internet and electronic commerce, which one of us (D.B.) chaired.

A White House working group on neurotechnologies should be headquartered in the White House with a small staff that is given a defined and limited mandate. It should operate for 12 months with an optional three-month extension. Like the Electronic Commerce Working Group, it should be chaired by the current Vice President and include representatives of key federal agencies, including the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Health and Human Services, Justice, Labor, State, and Veterans Affairs, as well as representatives from the Food and Drug Administration, National Institutes of Health, Federal Trade Commission, and Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.

The defined tasks of the working group should be to:

President Biden must act now to both advance and, when necessary, restrain brain research and thereby accelerate the gains and mitigate the pains of such technologies. As sage observers from Roy Amara to Bill Gates have noted, people tend to overestimate the impacts of emerging technologies in the short term and underestimate their impacts in the long term. Applied neuroscience fits this paradigm.

The governance decisions made for neurotechnology today will significantly determine the quality and well-being of society for decades to come.

David Beier is a managing director of Bay City Capital, a former senior executive at Amgen and Genentech, and former chief domestic policy advisor to Vice President Al Gore. Lucille Nalbach Tournas is a graduate student and lecturer on global governance, law, and regulation of neurotechnologies at Arizona State Universitys School of Life Sciences. Gary Marchant is a professor of law and faculty director of a program on law, science and technology at Arizona State Universitys Sandra Day OConnor College of Law.

Applied neuroscience needs a task force to craft effective governance - STAT

WEDNESDAY, March 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- In yet another sign that severe COVID-19 is tough to recover from, a new study shows that some survivors who required mechanical ventilation take days or even weeks to regain consciousness after sedation is halted and their breathing tube is removed.

For the study, the researchers analyzed data on 795 patients with severe COVID-19 who were treated with mechanical ventilators in the intensive care units of three medical centers for at least six days.

Of the 72% who survived and recovered consciousness before hospital discharge, 25% took 10 or more days to regain consciousness after being taken off the ventilator, and 10% took more than three weeks to regain consciousness.

"When we examined the potential causes of delayed recovery of consciousness, we found that low blood oxygen levels correlated with the time to recovery, even after accounting for other factors such as exposure to sedatives," said study co-senior author Dr. Brian Edlow. He is associate director of the Center for Neurotechnology and Neurorecovery at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), in Boston.

"This relationship was dose-dependent the more episodes of low blood oxygen that a patient experienced, the longer it took them to wake up," Edlow said in a hospital news release.

Most of the patients had normal brain scans, which suggests that the long time it took for them to recover consciousness was not due to stroke, swelling or bleeding in the brain, according to the authors of the study published online recently in the Annals of Neurology.

"These observations were consistent across all three medical centers and during the first and second surges of the COVID-19 pandemic," noted study co-leader Dr. Jan Claassen, an associate professor of neurology at Columbia University Vagelos College of Surgeons and Physicians, in New York City.

Importantly, Edlow said, "These findings provide us with more accurate information to guide families who are deciding whether to continue life-sustaining therapy in unconscious COVID-19 patients. The fact that delayed recovery of consciousness was consistently seen at three different medical centers, across two surges of COVID-19, suggests that we should consider the possibility of delayed recovery when making life-or-death decisions for these patients in the intensive care unit."

The findings may also apply to critically ill patients with other medical conditions, according to the researchers.

Study co-author Dr. Emery Brown, a professor of anesthesia at Harvard Medical School and an anesthesiologist at MGH, said, "We are trying to determine whether the lessons learned from patients with severe COVID-19 can inform our approach to oxygenation targets and sedation management in the intensive care unit for the broad spectrum of patients who require mechanical ventilation."

Global Mobile Biometric Authentication Identification Market Strategic Imperatives for Success and Growth Analysis By 2027 The Sabre - The Sabre

Neuralink a neurotechnology startup launched by Elon Musk is hiring a clinical director as it prepares to begin trials for human brain implants.

A job advertisement from the firm said that the position will work closely with some of the most innovative doctors and top engineers, as well as working with Neuralinks first Clinical Trial participants, helping to build the team responsible for enabling Neuralinks clinical research activities and developing the regulatory interactions that come with a fast-paced and ever-evolving environment.

As reported by Business Insider, Musk announced at The Wall Street Journals CEO Council Summit in December that Neuralink wants to start implanting microchips in humans this year. According to Musk, the companys standards for implanting the device are substantially higher than what the FDA requires.

He revealed on December 6 that progress in developing Neuralinks technology will accelerate in 2022 with human subjects, as it is hard to have nuanced conversations with monkeys.

Indeed, Neuralink successfully demonstrated its technology in 2021 with a macaque monkey who played a game of MindPong. Without touching a computer interface, the monkey visualized the motions of the on-screen paddle as its fully-implanted neural transmission device executed the moves.

A Neuralink blog post from last year explained that N1 Link the companys first device meant for humans will help quadriplegics access the digital world without using their hands:

Neuralink has spent the last four years building the first high channel count brain machine interface intended for therapeutic use in patients. Our first product, the N1 Link, is a 1024 channel device that, once implanted, is completely invisible and transmits data via a wireless connection. The first indication this device is intended for is to help quadriplegics regain their digital freedom by allowing users to interact with their computers or phones in a high bandwidth and naturalistic way. The funds from the round will be used to take Neuralinks first product to market and accelerate the research and development of future products.

Link operates using micron-scale threads that contain electrodes connected to an implant.

Beyond brain implants, Tesla the electric vehicle company led by Musk is creating humanoid Tesla Bots. On social media, Musk noted that the firm is taking steps to avoid a future robot revolt.

Tesla AI might play a role in AGI, given that it trains against the outside world, especially with the advent of Optimus, Musk tweeted.

As Electrek editor-in-chief Fred Lambert explained, Optimus is Musks moniker for the Tesla Bot and the reference to artificial general intelligence (AGI) means that the droids may one day be able to complete any task that a human can do.

Lambert explained that this is somewhat surprising considering the many warnings that Musk has issued about creating AGI and the risks to humanity that come with it. However, Lambert continued that Tesla will take precautions to avoid a Terminator scenario.

Will do our best, Musk reassured a social media user. Decentralized control of the robots will be critical.

Elon Musks Neuralink Makes Its Next Move To Begin Human ...

With the digital transformation taking over the world, the medical industry is also following in its footsteps. In a small span of time, neurotechnology has advanced a lot and it has been a breakthrough in the health industry. Blackrock Neurotech provides innovative tools and neurotech expertise to translate technology into novel, implantable clinical solutions that improve human lives. Analytics Insight has engaged in an exclusive interview with Marcus Gerhardt, CEO of Blackrock Neurotech.

Blackrock Neurotech was founded in 2008 to build neurotechnology that helps patients with neurological disorders, such as paralysis, stroke, epilepsy, Parkinsons, hearing loss, blindness, depression, and anxiety. Approximately 5 million people in the US live with some form of paralysis, so that has been our focus up to this time.

Our flagship product, the Blackrock NeuroPort Array (Utah Array) is FDA-approved and the first brain-computer interface in humans. Now the gold standard of BCIs, the system holds the record as the longest chronic implant in humans (seven years) and ten years in non-human primates. Further, the array has been used in thousands of research and clinical studies by the worlds top institutions to safely and effectively help restore functions such as movement in patients with paralysis.

By the end of the year, we plan to release MoveAgain, a miniaturized, wired version of this system, in hopes of reaching a much wider population of patients with movement disorders. Were very excited about the ways in which this device will help restore function and change lives.

With what mission and objectives, was the company was set up? In short, tell us about your journey since the inception of the company?

Our mission is simple: we want people to walk, talk, see and hear again. But we also have patients using their devices to make art and play music. We know these systems can increase the quality of life and independence for people and the possibilities are endless.

The journey has been a long one. Neuroscience is a tough industry to break into and it takes a long time to demonstrate safety and efficacy measures in human patients. To this measure, were proud of our accomplishments to date: more than 90% of BCI Pioneers/participants with implantable brain-computer interfaces were implanted with Blackrock technology, and our neuroscience products are used by more than 500 of the top global research institutions. Our technology has also supported thousands of breakthrough research & clinical studies and were just getting started.

Prior to joining Blackrock, I co-founded a number of companies such as Mondus, a pioneering eCommerce platform, and BBI, an international consulting firm. Since joining Blackrock, Ive focused on operational excellence and profitability. Weve dramatically scaled the companys team, driven strategic investment in areas of potential growth, and expanded the portfolio of technologies. My co-founder and longtime friend, Florian Solzbacher, focuses on technology and science he focuses on technical innovation, clinical translation, and patient impact. We are consistently identifying and validating new application-specific solutions and bringing our medical devices to fruition, from concept and design to product launch and production.

We are seeing the beginning of an escalation in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders and disabilities. As Blackrock moves toward our goal of commercialization in 2022, we will see an increased number of applications for BCI and neuro devices across a variety of neurological disorders, including the restoration of communication and hearing, treating or mitigating pain, ameliorating depression, and many others. Miniaturization of our technology will continue, while at the same time we are increasing functional capabilities and performance. Surgical procedures will become (depending on use case) less invasive and more efficient and automated and we will see more clinical centers offer these solutions. We hope that, in the coming years, implants are available to the millions of people who need them, much like a pacemaker is for those with heart issues.

For one, we are years ahead of other implantable companies when it comes to trials in humans. Of the 35 participants globally with implantable BCIs, 31 have been implanted with Blackrock technology. So we now have significant data about what happens when these devices are implanted for long periods of time now its time to scale this technology.

Another area that sets us apart is the breadth of our collaborations and reputation within the neuroscience community and at large. We build tools that empower more than five hundred institutional partners and customers, including Johns Hopkins, Brown, Caltech, University of Pittsburgh, and we have an international presence with more than two hundred top research and clinical institutions globally. Our technology has been used in thousands of peer-reviewed neuroscience studies, and patient stories featured in The NY Times, 60 Minutes, Bloomberg, Inside Edition, PBC, New Yorker, and others.

A third area is ethics. As an important part of Blackrocks culture and mission, we decided to establish an Ethics Advisory Boardan independent governing body of experts across policy, data security, neuroscience, and patient advocacy to help us make clear decisions on the neurotech issues of tomorrow. This esteemed group of individuals and the plans to incorporate their guidance in our decision-making will be announced soon.

A partnership with ClearPoint Neuro to develop an automated, replicable surgical solution for implanting BCIs into patients that is more streamlined and effective than the BCI implantation surgeries performed to date.

In September, Blackrock announced we are developing a novel auditory nerve implant device to restore hearing in a large population of patients who are not candidates for a cochlear implant. The goal is to ultimately implant 40-50 deaf patients within the next three years.

In May, we announced a partnership with Northwestern University to develop a wireless, fully implantable device that will halve the time it takes for people to recover from disrupted sleep/wake cycles. Developed primarily for military personnel and first responders, the team plans to translate this technology for the many people who suffer negative effects from traveling long distances or working long and irregular hours.

Most recently, we announced a deal with Stanford wherein their machine learning software will be incorporated into our TalkAgain device, which we plan to commercialize in the coming 12 months. These high-performance algorithms enable patients to communicate by imagining handwriting or typing and are highly accurate.

These are just a few and theres more to come.

My partner Florian, who I have known since grade school, has been doing this for many years and co-founded several additional companies in neuroscience including Blackrock Neuromed, SentioMed, and First Sensor Technology.

The neuroscience industry has changed a lot in the past ten years. There is a tremendous amount of interest and capital being infused into the space now, in no small part thanks to entrepreneurs like Elon Musk coming in with a lot of enthusiasm. The public is also very excited by the possibilities, and so this is really an inflection point for the whole field. We see it as Blackrocks responsibility to ensure clinical translation of all the achievements made in the lab these past few decades. Patients are ready and so are we.
