About
Brittany L. Sorice is a neuroscientist whose research sits at the intersection of neural engineering and motor control, with a focus on restoring function for individuals with paralysis and neurodegenerative disease. Her most cited work, a 2016 study on high-performance communication using an intracortical brain-computer interface (BCI), demonstrated that people with tetraplegia could achieve rapid, intuitive typing and cursor control directly from neural signals—a breakthrough that has garnered 6 citations and remains a foundational reference in the BCI field. In related work (2015), she investigated neural population dynamics in the human motor cortex during movement, specifically in people with ALS, revealing how motor cortex activity reorganizes in the face of disease. This research has helped clarify the neural underpinnings of movement impairment and has informed the design of more adaptive, clinically viable BCIs. Sorice’s contributions are notable for bridging basic systems neuroscience with translational applications: her studies not only advance our understanding of motor cortex function but also provide direct evidence that intracortical BCIs can restore meaningful communication and independence. Her work continues to shape how researchers approach neural decoding for assistive technology.
