DIBS announces the launch of 5 Dream Teams for building new research communities at Duke! One/day all week. Award details in comment.
1. Duke Brain Ultrasound Initiative. It aims to build a cross-school community for ultrasound imaging, neuromodulation, & clinical translation.
ALT Logo for the Duke Brain Ultrasound Initiative. Illustration on top depicts sound waves interacting with circuits in the brain. Below that, three lines of text say "DUKE BRAIN ULTRASOUND INITIATIVE / DREAM TEAM / Focusing Ultrasound, Restoring Function."
Dream Teams are collectives of faculty, students, postdocs, and staff united by a specific vision for brain science or its relation to the humanities. DIBS will fund each Team for 3 years.
For more about DIBS and its initiatives, and to get involved, see

Congratulations to Dr. Kevin LaBar @LaBarLab for his appointment as Director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke!
We look forward to Kevin's leadership of the CCN, a center in DIBS focused on studies of the mind and its neural foundations.

‼️ Exciting job opportunity - the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience at Duke is kicking into high gear.
The position has the potential for lots of interactions with the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences and Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, as well. 🙂
Job Alert: Our department is looking to recruit an eminent scholar for a distinguished, endowed professorship (full professor, tenured) in the domain of human neuroscience with high clinical relevance. For application information, see academicjobsonline.org/ajo/j…
From an undergrad and PhD student in @CoganLab at Duke!
Thread from the undergrad, @bentang0 below. Check it out. Congrats also to PhD student @zspald11 - impressive team!

New research from Duke shows brain-to-computer speech decoders can be trained using shared data across patients, with as little as five minutes of recordings from a new patient.
medschool.duke.edu/news/new-…
Can a speech BCI learn across people?
In Nature Communications, led by @zspald11:
High-density µECoG reveals shared neural dynamics that can be aligned to improve cross-patient speech decoding, even with little data from a new participant.

Two new papers on brain recordings during speech from DIBS faculty member Greg Cogan & colleagues!
Improving speech decoding for brain-computer interfaces ~AND~ understanding the brain network fundamentals of spoken language planning and articulation.
What a summer for them!
Two new papers from the lab in Nature Human Behaviour and Nature Communications, spanning the neural mechanisms of speech production and new approaches to speech neurotechnology!
🧠 Speech plans → fluent motor sequences
🗣️ Speech BCIs across people

ALT Graphic announcing two new Cogan Lab papers. The Nature Human Behaviour paper asks how the brain turns a speech plan into fluent movement, illustrated as planning → articulation → monitoring. The Nature Communications paper asks whether a speech BCI can learn from other people, illustrated by neural activity from two individuals converging on a shared latent representation.
Our new review paper lead by CNAP PhD Student @jimmyjam6290 and @EgnerLab is now published in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews: “Insights into the neural mechanisms supporting cognitive stability and flexibility from human intracranial EEG.”

Last week, Nanlin Shi (postdoctoral associate @shinl_thu) presented T. Lei et al.’s new Nature paper, “Active dissociation of intracortical spiking and high gamma activity,” on whether intracortical HGA reflects local spiking or broader population activity.
You may have read that the OMB is proposing dozens of changes to grant selection, oversight, termination, etc.
📢 Comments accepted through July 13! Nearly 70k so far. If you are at Duke, please contact OR&I at vpri@duke.edu for basic guidance.

A big congratulations to Blake Wilson, PhD, on receiving the 2026 Merkin Prize.
His work helped shape modern cochlear implants and continues to influence how we care for patients across our field.
