UC Davis Health is pleased with the announcement of the nerve surgeon. David firefighter And his team UC Davis Neuroprosthetics Lab Awarded Herbert Pardes Clinical Research Excellence Award. It is the most famous glory Clinical Research (CR) ForumNon -profit association of the best clinical research experts and thinking leaders of the best academic health center in the United States.
Brandman and his team have been recognized as a breakthrough task of developing a new brain-computer interface (BCI), which is the most accurate system that converts brain signals to words up to 97%accuracy. Their work Published New England Journal.
In February, the CR Forum selected Brandman for 2025 TOV TEN Clinical Research Achievement Award. I have been honored 10 Excellent clinical research It was posted in the colleague review journal last year. The BCI study was recognized at the April 14th Awards.
“Our team is very honored with this recognition. It means that our research has not only been selected among the nation’s most published clinical studies, but also won the Herbert PARDES Clinical Research Excellence Award!” Brandman was co -director of Neuroprosthetics Lab. He is an assistant professor of UC Davis Neurosurgery.
The joint principal investigator of BCI research is UC Davis Neuroscientist. Sergey stavisky. STAVISKY is an assistant professor of neurosurgery and a joint director of the neuro -consumption laboratory. It is the main author of research Nicholas Card. He is a doctoral scholar of the UC Davis neuropathic surgery department.
Brain-computer interface that converts brain signals into voice
The new BCI technology is being developed to restore communication for those who cannot speak due to paralysis or neurological conditions. Muscle atrophy side sclerosis (ALS). When you try to say, you can interpret the brain signal and switch to the text loudly on your computer.
In July 2023, Brandman transplanted the sensor in the brain of a man whose speech was severely damaged by ALS. The man was able to deliver an intended speech within a few minutes after the system was activated.
Brandman said, “Our research shows the most accurate speech Neuroprosthesis (Device). This technology is innovative because it provides hope for people who want to say but cannot speak, and we hope that technologies such as BCI will help future patients to talk with their families and friends.
