Researchers Take Step Toward Next-generation Brain-Computer Interface System

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are emerging assistive devices that may one day help people with brain or spinal injuries to move or communicate. BCI systems depend on implantable sensors that record electrical signals in the brain and use those signals to drive external devices like computers or robotic prosthetics.
Most current BCI systems use one or two sensors to sample up to a few hundred neurons, but neuroscientists are interested in systems that are able to gather data from much larger groups of brain cells.
Now, a team of researchers has taken a key step toward a new concept for a future BCI system; one that employs a coordinated network of independent, wireless microscale neural sensors, each about the size of a grain of salt, to record and stimulate brain activity. The sensors, dubbed 'neurograins', independently record the electrical pulses made by firing neurons and send the signals wirelessly to a central hub, which coordinates and processes the signals.
In a study published in Nature Electronics, the research team demonstrated the use of nearly 50 such autonomous neurograins to record neural activity in a rodent.
The results, the researchers say, are a step toward a system that could one day enable the recording of brain signals in unprecedented detail, leading to new insights into how the brain works and new therapies for people with brain or spinal injuries.
'One of the big challenges in the field of brain-computer interfaces is engineering ways of probing as many points in the brain as possible,' said Arto Nurmikko, a professor in Brown's School of Engineering and the study's senior author. 'Up to now, most BCIs have been monolithic devices; a bit like little beds of needles. Our team's idea was to break up that monolith into tiny sensors that could be distributed across the cerebral cortex. That's what we've been able to demonstrate here.'
The team, which includes experts from Brown, Baylor University, University of California at San Diego and Qualcomm, began the work of developing the system about four years ago. The challenge was two-fold, said Nurmikko, who is affiliated with Brown's Carney Institute for Brain Science. The first part required shrinking the complex electronics involved in detecting, amplifying and transmitting neural signals into the tiny silicon neurograin chips. The team first designed and simulated the electronics on a computer, and went through several fabrication iterations to develop operational chips.
The second challenge was developing the body-external communications hub that receives signals from those tiny chips. The device is a thin patch, about the size of a thumbprint, that attaches to the scalp outside the skull. It works like a miniature cellular phone tower, employing a network protocol to coordinate the signals from the neurograins, each of which has its own network address. The patch also supplies power wirelessly to the neurograins, which are designed to operate using a minimal amount of electricity.
'This work was a true multidisciplinary challenge,' said Jihun Lee, a postdoctoral researcher at Brown and the study's lead author. 'We had to bring together expertise in electromagnetics, radio frequency communication, circuit design, fabrication, and neuroscience to design and operate the neurograin system.'
The goal of this new study was to demonstrate that the system could record neural signals from a living brain; in this case, the brain of a rodent. The team placed 48 neurograins on the animal's cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain, and successfully recorded characteristic neural signals associated with spontaneous brain activity.
The team also tested the devices' ability to stimulate the brain as well as record from it. Stimulation is done with tiny electrical pulses that can activate neural activity. The stimulation is driven by the same hub that coordinates neural recording and could one day restore brain function lost to illness or injury, researchers hope.
The size of the animal's brain limited the team to 48 neurograins for this study, but the data suggest that the current configuration of the system could support up to 770. Ultimately, the team envisions scaling up to many thousands of neurograins, which would provide a currently unattainable picture of brain activity.
'It was a challenging endeavour, as the system demands simultaneous wireless power transfer and networking at the mega-bit-per-second rate, and this has to be accomplished under extremely tight silicon area and power constraints,' said Vincent Leung, an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Baylor. 'Our team pushed the envelope for distributed neural implants.'
There's much more work to be done to make that complete system a reality, but researchers said this study represents a key step in that direction.
'Our hope is that we can ultimately develop a system that provides new scientific insights into the brain and new therapies that can help people affected by devastating injuries,' Nurmikko said.

Given I'm no style expert when it comes to pants, I spare myself the stress and probable outfit faux pas by having a nice, invested collection of button ups on hand. I was so fixated on chambray at one point in time, that I've nearly collected at least 20 chambray shirts in different washes and cuts of subtle variance, so that I'm always wearing a Canadian tuxedo. It's not until now I'm keenly aware in adding shirts of other pretty colors like this pink striped shirt from Joe's Jeans, that goes so well with these soft and comfortable weekender pants from the same collection.
Relaxed yet polished, just what I'm going for.
Your hair got so long! Also I'd say you're pulling off relaxed yet polished very well. Love the soft patterns!
I love this look and I WANT those shoes!

Have fun taking selfies with your favourite stars.
15. Relish Fancy Cocktails at a Speakeasy Bar
Relish Fancy Cocktails at a Speakeasy Bar
New York City has gone crazy with the speakeasy trend and the most fun part of these bars is the thrill of finding it and getting a table. While some harder to find than others like Bathtub Gin (entry through the coffee shop) and The Back Room (entry through a grimy Lower East Side basement). Few of these places hold on to the speakeasy theme with costumes and decor, others just serve good cocktails. Please Don't Tell is the most famous speakeasy which can be accessed through the phone booth of a next-door hot dog hut but getting a reservation can be extremely hard.
16. Top of the Rock Observation Deck
One of New York City's must-visit attractions, make sure you add Rock Observation Deck to your itinerary. Situated midtown in the historic Rockefeller Center, it offers mesmerizing views of the stunning Manhattan panorama.

There is also 13,000 square feet of outdoor space with views of the Hudson River and the surrounding District.
19. Discover the history of African American Culture in Harlem
Discover the history of African American Culture in Harlem
A haven for artists and writers, Harlem was the heart of African American culture in the 20th century, when writers like Langston Hughes and James Baldwin led the Harlem Renaissance and made this neighbourhood famous. Despite the massive modern real estate developments, one can still sense the old neighbourhood charm. Today, it has become a cultural and dining destination. Celeb chef Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster is such a spot in this neighbourhood that serves chicken and waffles alongside jazz in an elegant setting. To experience a taste of African culture, visit the Malcolm Shabazz Harlem Market where you will find stalls selling traditional crafts and textiles from the different corners of Africa.
20. Savour Dishes from the Different Corners of the World
Savour Dishes from the Different Corners of the World
We know New York City is famous for bagels and pizza, but you can get it anywhere. When in New York, venture off the beaten track to sample something truly authentic. You can try food from all over the world here, especially if you're ready to travel to the outer boroughs. Gorge on Ethiopian food at Bushwick's Bunna Café or feast on Yemeni cuisine at Yemen Cafe in Brooklyn Heights. If you can't travel to Brooklyn or Queens, you can still try Afghan cuisine at Khyber Pass or Georgian food at Old Tbilisi Garden, which are all located in Manhattan. If trying new dishes is not your thing, there are world-class French, Italian, and Japanese food joints in every neighbourhood.

I realize I haven't posted anything on here in quite a while. School is insane and I'm considering moving this blog because of some technical troubles, so expect more dry periods. However! I am continually posting on my tumblr so you should go check that out!
Here are some cookies from a few weeks back - I really enjoy painting cookies.
Papercut commission this week. I love making ocean-themed things.
Some trends I can live without, but I'm definitely loving these things. I'm glad they're popular, so I get to see them all the time.
I bought a bunch of things at Japan Home yesterday (art not included).
I'm planning to replace all my hangers, although it will have to be very, very slowly. Still, at 88 pesos for 3, I think it'll be alright.
I found these picture frames I've been looking for forever. I'm so happy. I've been looking for the perfect small frames to put little papercuts in.
I bought a cutting board. For what reason, I'm not absolutely sure of at the moment. It does look nice, though. Maybe I'll paint it and hang it up.
Here's what went on in our house this weekend: making a few pretty things for Adrian and Hannah's big day! I love making things for weddings.
We had made and stained the couple's initials to be hung at the venue - the ampersand, I wanted to keep. It looks just right on our porch.
We made little chalkboard tic-tac-toe sets as favors for the guests.
This is my favorite, a signboard for the venue. I loved making this.
Thank-you cards to the sponsors were placed in potted plants. Ina did the text layout and I did the lettering, 'cause we're a perfect team like that.
I made some straw flags for a fictional party I'm having. I think they're cute.
I can't get enough of lettering; I'm writing every day. I think I've found my dream job. It's not yet paying, but I'll get there.
I'll never get over stripy straws.

Bob Avakian on SNCC, Anti-Zionism & Anti-Semitism (2005)
Published August 10, 2010	Antisemitism , Jewish Culture & Religion , Marxism , Nationalism 1 Comment
One time through Eldridge [[Cleaver]] I got this issue of the SNCC newspaper and they had this cartoon portraying Nasser, who was the head of the government of Egypt at that time, going up against Israel, and the cartoon drew a parallel with how Black people had to deal with Jews who were exploiting them in the ghetto in America. This really bothered me. I was already learning about imperialism, partly from Eldridge, so I said to him: "Look, this is not right. The common enemy here is imperialism. What's wrong with Israel is not the Jewish character of it; it's the fact that it's an instrument of imperialism. And the common cause of black people in the U.S. and people in Egypt is that they're going up against imperialism." Eldridge said, "Well, why don't you write them a letter?" So I did. I made these arguments and I made the point that in writing the letter that I was a strong supporter of SNCC and of Black liberation, but this bothered me because it wasn't the right way to look at the problem and to analyze friends and enemies, and so on. So they wrote back and said, "We take you at your word that you're a supporter of Black liberation and let us make clear that we are not anti-Semitic and we don't see Jews as the enemy."
from Bob Avakian, From Ike to Mao and Beyond: My Journey From Mainstream America to Revolutionary Communist (Chicago: Insight Press, 2005), p 147.
RADICAL ARCHIVES NOTE: Bob was a member of SDS and the Revolutionary Union, and is the founder and chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA (RCP), a Maoist sect. The son of East Bay judge 'Sparky' Avakian, Bob has stated that "After the Holocaust, the worst thing that has happened to Jewish people is the state of Israel." His follower Alan Goodman took this to heart and, after Israel's 2009 attack on Gaza, Goodman held a banner with this slogan outside the 'Museum of Jewish Heritage–A Living Memorial To The Holocaust' in downtown New York City.
Despite its subtitle, the Museum of Jewish History is not a Holocaust museum; current exhibitions include an expose about the love of American Jews for Mah Jongg.

Walking into the Mitzie E. Newhouse theater and being met with the familiarity of harsh fluorescent lights and institutional cement block walls, will humble you. For 90 minutes of your life, you're back in a classroom and the choice is yours on who is going to be your instructor. Enter Nya (a sharp and haunting Karen Pittman), an inner-city public school teacher and mother. Enter Omari (a brilliantly magnetic, Namir Smallwood) a private school attendee and son. Both professors in their own right, they quarter 90 minutes across the war zone of a mother whose every move is to protect her son and a son who's fighting to deflect the de-humanizing compartmentalization of his surroundings. The title of the play, "Pipeline," is a direct reference to the national trend where students are funneled through a pipeline from school to prison due to zero tolerance policies which criminalize over minor infractions.
If Morisseau wasn't already on your radar, look now. Where there could have been didactic language, there's deep dialogue. Where we'd normally see over-explanation to compensate for a lack of understanding the Black experience, we see compassion. Morisseau lays a genuine and raw foundation for the voices of her characters to sing from. She fleshes out everyday heroes—mothers, fathers, teachers (Brava, Tasha Lawrence! A standout.), students, and security guards (a charming Jaime Lincoln Smith) –who are all just trying to do the right thing.
Lileana Blain-Cruz's direction and staging is the microphone that amplifies the tight harmonies and arrangements between this stunning 6-member cast. Within this composition, the duets resonate the loudest. That is the poetic, song-like exchanges that Morisseau has penned in the sweeping, full-range of emotion and complication that makes up the key of humanity, that we confuse as dialogue.
We are reminded that life isn't easy, family isn't perfect, and resolution isn't promised. We're reminded that life isn't promised.
The interactions between Omari and his girlfriend Jasmine (a passionate and wise, Heather Velazquez) move me the most. Too often we dismiss the validity of feelings such as love or fear, based on age and experience. Morisseau gives the voice of our youth bass and credibility.
If this play was a thesis, I gather it postulates, why do we not see people for the entire human being they are? Why do we not take the time to understand the factors behind circumstance?
Omari's classroom violence. Xavier (Morocco Omari) and Nya's failed marriage. Nya's crippling anxiety. Xavier's absentee fatherhood. Nya's infidelity. None of these events stand alone. The question now is: do we take this story as a mere page out of a textbook, or a reminder on how to live life through a lens of radical empathy?
Pipeline doesn't seek to answer large questions for us, rather it invites us into the classroom to be part of this eloquent and intelligent debate.

Q: Can I limit Google OAuth 2.0's login to specific Google accounts only? So far I know how to limit the login to within my own organization but what if I want to further limit to only specific users, like a specific team?
Edit: I forgot to mention, this is for my new Jenkins setup and I setup my Jenkins on a Mac.

A: I think the easiest way to achieve what you want is :

*

*Create resource server on Google with scopes like:
.Admin
.Staff
and so on

*When you contact /tokeninfo endpoint, you will get the username, then check with LDAP regarding user's role, if role >= roles as part of scopes then grant access otherwise deny the access.

Qatar Cargo begins service from Macau to Los Angeles
TORONTO: October 17, 2018. Qatar Airways Cargo has introduced a twice-weekly B777 freighter service from Doha to Macau, Los Angeles and Mexico City with a return via Liege.
Announced to coincide with the Air Cargo Forum organised by The International Air Cargo Association in Toronto this week (pictured), Qatar Airways Chief Officer Cargo Guillaume Halleux said: "We have launched our newest freighter destination, Macau, just in time for the holiday season when air freight demand is high and the market is strong.
"The new services will connect manufacturing industries and exporters from the region to North America directly and quickly, without requiring a stopover at our hub in Doha," he added.
Macau becomes Qatar Airways Cargo's fourth freighter destination in Greater China after Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Shanghai in addition to serving seven cities with passenger aircraft.
The airline said it expects to carry electronics, garments and e-commerce exports to North America and Europe without routing via its Doha hub.
