For more than a century, scientists thought that Broca's area coordinates the muscle movements required to speak. But new @UCSF research from @ChangLabUCSF identifies the key role that the middle precentral gyrus (mPrCG) plays in this process. @jessierliu

Language Neuroscience Podcast #23: I talk with Eddie Chang about his new paper "Speech computations of the human superior temporal gyrus" by @bhaya_ilina & @ChangLabUcsf. A synthesis of 12 years of brilliant experiments from the Chang lab! @AnnualReviews

New @ChangLabUCSF paper
Lesions to Broca’s area do not cause Broca’s aphasia.
It’s time to change the textbooks.

New preprint of my latest work with @ChangLabUcsf is up, which focuses on understanding the neural representation and computation of speech perception using DNNs. Joint work with @GopalaSpeech, Abdo Mohamed @MetaAI, and others. Preprint available at biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/11)

My postdoc paper is out :)
We examined the brain mechanisms underlying naturalistic affective behaviors(e.g., smiling) from epilepsy patients.
Thanks to Chang lab @ChangLabUcsf, and amazing co-authos @ANKhambhati and Dr. Sturm @brainsturming

No treatment helped her depression — until this. In a first, a "pacemaker for the brain" has successfully treated a case of severe depression.
"Within a few weeks, the suicidal thoughts just disappeared," said the first participant in the unusual study. nyti.ms/3DgkPhT

Case report describes a #biomarker driven closed-loop therapy for depression using implanted electrodes to continually sense brain activity and automatically trigger direct brain electrical stimulation in high #depression states. @scangos @ChangLabUcsf

Big new study out today! Long-term brain 🧠 network/circuit reorganization may be a main reason why responsive neurostimulation reduces seizures over time -- Congrats to study lead @ANKhambhati, and Alia Shafi, Vikram Rao, and Edward Chang @ChangLabUcsf stm.sciencemag.org/content/1…

It’s been a long road to get here, but our paper (with @YuliaOganian, @ChangLabUcsf, and Jeffery Hall) is now out in @CellCellPress! We found that speech processing may partly bypass A1 using ECoG recordings, stimulation, and an ablation case study. authors.elsevier.com/c/1dbe2…

New preprint is up from my work with @ChangLabUSCF @YuanningLi @SeanMetzger5 @YuliaOganian: “Latent neural dynamics encode temporal context in speech” biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/8)

He has been unable to speak since he was paralyzed in 2003. Now, in a once unimagined accomplishment, an implant in the speech area of his brain is starting to give him back a voice. "It's very much like getting a second chance to talk again." nyti.ms/3yYiRk2

The advance is believed to mark the first time the power of speech has been restored to someone who lost it because of neurological damage wapo.st/3xHYYgH

A man who is unable to move or speak can now generate words and sentences on a computer using only his thoughts, thanks to an experimental implanted device that decodes signals in the man's brain that once control his vocal tract. trib.al/467zQKh

New study in @NatureComms led by Jon Kleen and Edward Chang/@ChangLabUcsf using special microgrids by @Livermore_Lab reveals that human brain waves in a key memory area travel bidirectionally (along a two-way street), with important cognitive implications: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

My commentary on the fantastic article by Matt Leonard, @davidpaulcorina, Shane Blau, and Ed Chang ("Cortical encoding of manual and linguistic features in ASL") is out and downloadable - enjoy! authors.elsevier.com/a/1c4zY…

Hot off the presses in @eLife! Work with @matt_k_leonard, Matthias Sjerps & Eddie Chang (@ChangLabUCSF).
Here, we combine behavior, ECoG recordings, & computational modeling to examine the neural encoding of a temporal speech cue (VOT) in human STG [1/7] elifesciences.org/articles/5…
