From an undergrad and PhD student in @CoganLab at Duke!
Thread from the undergrad, @bentang0 below. Check it out. Congrats also to PhD student @zspald11 - impressive team!

Great work from @bentang0 !
Congratulations @bentang0 and @zspald11 on your fantastic preprint!
An exciting start for the lab into unsupervised learning and foundation models for speech and language decoding.

A Duke research team published a study on a new approach to reduce the amount of speech needed to replicate the voices of patients with neuromotor disorders like ALS. The study paves the way for patients to more easily utilize the technology: dukechronicle.com/article/du…

New research from Duke shows brain-to-computer speech decoders can be trained using shared data across patients, with as little as five minutes of recordings from a new patient.

More about @zspald11 's fantastic paper!
Can a speech BCI learn across people?
In Nature Communications, led by @zspald11:
High-density µECoG reveals shared neural dynamics that can be aligned to improve cross-patient speech decoding, even with little data from a new participant.

A few more details on Kumar's great work!
How does a speech plan become fluent movement?
In Nature Human Behaviour, led by @dsuseendar:
Intracranial recordings reveal how hierarchical speech plans become continuous motor sequences across planning, articulation, and monitoring networks.

Check out two new papers from the lab led by @dsuseendar and @zspald11!
Two new papers from the lab in Nature Human Behaviour and Nature Communications, spanning the neural mechanisms of speech production and new approaches to speech neurotechnology!
🧠 Speech plans → fluent motor sequences

ALT Graphic announcing two new Cogan Lab papers. The Nature Human Behaviour paper asks how the brain turns a speech plan into fluent movement, illustrated as planning → articulation → monitoring. The Nature Communications paper asks whether a speech BCI can learn from other people, illustrated by neural activity from two individuals converging on a shared latent representation.
