BRAIN Initiative grantee Maryam Shanechi and her team have created tools to predict the effect electrical stimulation will have on brain activity across multiple regions. The tools were then successfully demonstrated in actual brain stimulation experiments tinyurl.com/y6lzbpb8

We all see the finished product but there is much that goes #BehindThePaper . I wrote the story of the past 6 years that led to our new Nature Biomedical Engineering paper, how it can enable closed-loop #DBS therapies, other related advances we've made & the road ahead.
