LocomotorControlLab

The USC Locomotor Control Lab seeks to design effective interventions to improve walking ability in individuals with damage to the nervous system.

Please join us in congratulating our lab's first @American_Heart predoctoral fellowship winner, @tara_cornwell!

[Russell T Johnson @ru_t_johnson]

Very excited to share that this article has now been published in Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation! Many thanks to the reviewers for their helpful comments to improve our paper! And of course to my co-authors: Dan Lakeland and @jamesmfinley https://t.co/iKZckCwEmG

We're actively recruiting participants for a study that seeks to understand how the brain optimizes walking in older adults. Please share if you're in the LA area! https://t.co/bILk7XKpAV

[LocomotorControlLab @FinleyLabUSC]

@dccc_phd @jamesmfinley We'll check it out, thanks!

[LocomotorControlLab @FinleyLabUSC]

We're beginning a two-week lab Github tutorial today and our goal is to develop a lab-wide workflow for code creation, revision, and sharing. If you have a team-oriented or personal Github workflow that you think is effective, please share in the replies.

For today's #ThrowbackThursday we're giving a big shout out to the lab's first PhD graduate, Dr. Sungwoo Park. We had a wonderful farewell dinner last week, and we hope he's staying warm and enjoying his new role as a postdoctoral fellow in the Harvard Biodesign Lab!

[LocomotorControlLab @FinleyLabUSC]

Our lab's end of the semester, Escape Room challenge was a success! It was a great team-building opportunity and was tons of fun. #4000thGame

[LocomotorControlLab @FinleyLabUSC]

Please join us in congratulating the lab's founding student and first doctoral graduate, Sungwoo Park, for successfully defending his dissertation today!

[USC SMART-VR Center @USC_SmartVR]

We are super excited to announce the return of the @USC SMART-VR Center with our Launch Party on Oct 29! RSVP at https://t.co/4obQOFm6hW - meet and mingle with our USC community over food, drinks, & chats, and show off your best AR/VR/XR-themed Halloween costumes! 🥳

[Kristan Leech @KristanLeech]

If you are a PT - this is an excellent opportunity for funding during your PhD or Postdoc! I highly recommend applying!

Inverse optimal control (IOC) attempts to infer unknown cost functions that give rise to observed behaviors. Here, in a study led by John Rebula, we evaluate the robustness of IOC to observation noise, model imperfections, and cost component uncertainty. https://t.co/7PAflAWmGF

@aram_kim_ Skills learned through practice of a virtual obstacle negotiation task in a single session transferred to over-ground obstacle negotiation, and the acquired skill was retained after a 24-hour retention interval.

[LocomotorControlLab @FinleyLabUSC]

Do locomotor skills acquired in VR transfer to overground walking? Recent work from our lab led by @aram_kim_ says yes.

[Aram Kim @aram_kim_]

It’s finally out! If you are interested in locomotor learning in virtual reality and transfer to the real world, check out our newest paper!🚶🏻‍♀️#VR https://t.co/p0RE6WYns4

Thanks @janstenum for your recent write-up of our @JPhysiol paper!
