- no need for keystrokes or voices. I created this tweet just by thinking it. #helloworldbci
- I’m excited to announce a world first. At 7pm ET today (~5 hours) Phillip O’Keefe, who had a Synchron Brain Computer Interface implanted in April 2020 will take over my Twitter account for 30 mins. He will use the BCI to tweet answers to your questions: directly from his brain.
- my hope is that I'm paving the way for people to tweet through thoughts phil
- Mind blowing frontier tech on display at #MARS2022. Jeff Bezos showed himself to be a kind person, genuinely driven to carry forward humanity. #neurotech and #BCI were recognised as entering a golden age, with an overwhelming response to @synchroninc tech. Steaming forward now ❤️
00:00 - Curious about how phil tweeted yesterday? check out how our motor neuroprosthesis works, including a demo from Phil: synchron.com/technology/bra… #helloworld #bci
- Thank you Philip! You are inspiration to us and absolute legend! We have loved working with you. Thank you to everyone for joining. Phillip made 7 tweets, as well as several likes. He’s taking a break now and his daughter Bianca will try to get to the rest of the questions ❤️
- Replying to @tomoxlPhillip O’Keefe is a hero who has pioneered the first use of human implanted Brain Computer Interfaces. He is about to do the first BCI tweet. See his story here synchron.com or google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.…
- Total legend @Peter_J_Beck CEO @RocketLab showing first interplanetary spacecraft and reminding us to believe our own bullshit every now and then #MARS2023
- Brain upgrade. A fully internalised, wireless brain computer interface. No holes in the head. Plug and play at home. Stentrode BCI online in two (human) heroes. Peer reviewed paper out today in #JNIS. youtu.be/mm95r05hui0
- Turning point today in the clinical translation of BCIs from lab to clinic. Synchron receives first company-sponsored FDA approval (IDE) to commence a clinical trial of a permanently implantable BCI for paralysis. No open brain surgery required.
- Paper published in @JAMANeuro today, reporting on long term (12 month) data in the first four stentrode BCI participants in @UniMelb @TheRMH. These participants were inspiring to us. We are learning and improving everyday. ❤️❤️ @synchroninc jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
- Ok this is Tom signing off now, and introducing Philip O’Keefe! Please post questions and he will respond using the BCI for the next 30 mins.
