Brain-Computer Interfaces - Leigh Hochberg, MD, PhD & Dan Rubin MD, PhD

In this episode, we explore the field of brain-computer interfaces with Dr. Leigh Hochberg and Dr. Dan Rubin. We discuss how the BrainGate consortium is working to help individuals with paralysis regain movement & communication and examine how decoding neural activity is turning thoughts into action.

Dr. Leigh Hochberg and Dr. Dan Rubin are Neurologists at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Hochberg is the Director of the BrainGate consortium and leads the BrainGate clinical trial, the largest and longest-running clinical trial of an implanted BCI. Dr. Rubin is a principal investigator in the BrainGate Consortium whose research explores the development of electrophysiologic biomarkers and tools to facilitate recovery after neurologic injury.
