David Moses

Dr. David Moses received his B.S. in Bioengineering from Rice University and his Ph.D. from the joint program in Bioengineering at UC Berkeley and UCSF. During his Ph.D. in Dr. Edward Chang’s lab, he studied mechanisms for how the brain represents perceived and spoken speech, leading to the development of the world’s first system capable of decoding brain activity into full words and sentences in real time. In his postdoctoral research, he led a clinical-trial project to create another world-first: a speech neuroprosthesis capable of restoring words to a person who is unable to speak by interpreting their brain activity as they tried to talk. He is now an adjunct professor and remains on the forefront of neurotechnology and artificial intelligence geared towards restoring autonomy and expressive communication to persons who are unable to speak, with a focus on translating the technology from the laboratory to a clinical solution for patients. His work has ranked in the top three brain-computer interface projects worldwide in the International BCI Award competition for three years in a row, and he presented his work at the White House Demo Day in 2023, which was attended by the President of the United States.
