Our new preprint describes a multimodal intracortical brain-computer interface that a man with ALS has used at home, independently, almost every day for >19 months. It decodes both speech and cursor control to enable him to communicate and use his computer. Here’s a quick tour👇

This is now published in @NatureMedicine! Check out this "behind the paper" blogpost, co-written by participant T15 and I, about how this paper came together and how he uses the BCI in his daily life: go.nature.com/3SgxMEZ

In the research world, Casey Harrell is known by subject name T-15. He’s become a test case, and a point of hope, for people afflicted with ALS to have their voice restored. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

I'm really happy to see "brain-to-text" begin crossing over from academia to industry, helping more and more people communicate along the way! And I'm proud that I was able to contribute to this tech during my time at Neuralink.

ALS has gradually taken away Kenneth’s ability to speak. Through Neuralink’s VOICE clinical trial, he’s exploring how a brain-computer interface designed to translate thought to speech could help restore autonomy in his daily life. Watch to learn more:

Another brain-computer interface record set in the published record: fastest communication based on hand movements (typing in this case): nature.com/articles/s4159… Congrats Justin and the rest of the @BrainGateTeam!

Finally, we plan to put out a whitepaper later in 2026 covering the decoding approaches used by the winning teams!

We will be re-releasing the competition data in a non-normalized continuous format in the coming weeks. We'd also like to re-open the leaderboard so it can serve as a public benchmark for future studies, but have not quite decided how best to do that yet. Stay tuned.

Excited to share our new work on cross-brain transfer of speech and handwriting BCIs! Some studies have required 10+ days of training data for peak BCI performance. Can pooling neural data from other users speed things up? 1/6 biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Our speech brain-to-text neural decoding competition ends tonight! It's been really fun to see many very high accuracy submissions beating all the previously published SOTA baselines. Some last minute entries just came in...

@jacob_g_martin1 @BlackrockNeuro_ And to answer your other question: code can be privately shared under a license if the submitter wishes. The whole point of the private code sharing is just to confirm that the submission is following the competition rules, which is difficult or impossible to ensure otherwise.

@jacob_g_martin1 @BlackrockNeuro_ If you want to be eligible for cash prizes, we want to check that you are not cheating. Otherwise, you are free to use the dataset for whatever you want and keep your code to yourself. If you think this is all a ploy to steal your code and publish it, feel free to not submit!
