For more than a century, scientists thought that Broca's area coordinates the muscle movements required to speak. But new @UCSF research from @ChangLabUCSF identifies the key role that the middle precentral gyrus (mPrCG) plays in this process. @jessierliu

This work wouldn’t have been possible without our two amazing participants, Bravo-1 and Bravo-3, their family and caregivers, and the support of our team!

Rather than coding specific vocal-tract movements during attempted speech, activity at these shared electrodes could be decoded into words prior to attempted speech, supporting the emerging role of the middle precentral gyrus in speech-motor planning.

Check out our latest work developing speech decoding systems that maintain their specificity to volitional speech attempts, co-led by @asilvaalex1 and @jessierliu iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

Our latest research on the neural basis of speech-motor sequencing is now published in @NatureHumBehav! Check out this high-level explainer video and read the full paper here: nature.com/articles/s4156…

New in @NatureHumBehav, @jessierliu, Lingyun Zhao, PhD & @ChangLabUCSF show that the middle precentral gyrus coordinates the muscle movements required to speak, challenging the longstanding view that Broca's area controls this process: nature.com/articles/s4156…

Our latest work on the neural mechanism for stopping speech production is published! See a brief summary below and the original paper linked to the post at the bottom.

In natural conversations, people can stop speaking at any time. How? Using high-density electrocorticography, Zhao et al. find a distinct neural signal in the human premotor cortex that inhibits speech output to achieve abrupt stopping. @ChangLabUcsf nature.com/articles/s4156…

Our models also showed stable performance without retraining for ~2 months and these results were achieved ~4 years after ECoG implantation. We hope these findings can be scaled to more patients in the near future!

We leveraged this finding to demonstrate transfer learning across languages. Data collected in a first language could significantly expedite training a decoder in the second language, saving time and effort for the user.

Excited to share our work on developing a bilingual speech neuroprosthesis that decodes cortical activity into English and Spanish sentences in a person with paralysis. Out today in @natBME! nature.com/articles/s4155…
