Dataset of Speech Production in intracranial Electroencephalography

We present an open-access dataset of 10 participants reading words out loud while recorded with intracranial EEG. This data can help in understanding the speech production process better and can be used to test speech BCI algorithms.

Real-time synthesis of imagined speech processes from minimally invasive recordings of neural activity

We show that imagined speech can be synthesized in real-time and without delay from neural activity.

Decoding Arbitrary and Informed Decisions from Intracranial Recordings in Humans

In this study, we show that decisions are processes differently whether we know what we are deciding about, or whether we are just guessing. Both processes elicit strong enough neural responses that we can decode them from sEEG.

Global motor dynamics - Invariant neural representations of motor behavior in distributed brain-wide recordings

We identified global motor dynamics, that are preditive across tasks and across participants. Even with non-overlapping electrode configurations

Decoding executed and imagined grasping movements from distributed non-motor brain areas using a Riemannian decoder

Here, we demonstrate that movement-related neural activity can be recorded and decoded from cortical and subcortcial areas throughout the brain.

Executed and imagined grasping movements can be decoded from lower dimensional representation of distributed non-motor brain areas

Can you decode movement from other areas than the motor cortex? Here we decode executed and imagined movement from distributed brain areas using a riemannian classifier.

T-Rex: sTandalone Recorder of EXperiments; An easy and versatile neural recording platform

We created a flexible recording system for neuroscientific research that minimizes setup time and errors, allowing researchers and participants to start experiments easily and independently.

Synthesizing Speech from Intracranial Depth Electrodes using an Encoder-Decoder Framework

We show that high-quality speech can be synthesized from sEEG recordings using an encoder-decoder framework inspired by Tacotron-2.
