NEWS: NDCN researchers awarded ARIA funding for future adoption of neurotechnologies

The award will allow researchers at @NDCNOxford to explore how these methods can be designed inclusively for greater, more equitable adoption of future tech.

😴 Up to 50% of people meet the diagnostic criteria for a sleep disorder post stroke.

📈 Prevalence of insomnia post stroke is 3-4x that of general population +has significant impact on recovery +QOL.

Brief scale <16 is indicative of insomnia- https://t.co/wSRINlDGl5

Human sensorimotor science faces a fundamental trade-off between experimental control and real-world applicability.

In our new @JPhysiol paper, we illustrate the need for more, complementary methods, comparative studies, & emerging technologies to...🧵

@stottyswife @louiseclark15 @Charlie_ConsAHP @willchegwidden @katiebutler06 @OPSYRIS1 @LeannaLuxton @MichelleE_OT @nhumilton @WolfsonNeuro I obviously have to mention sleep, so I would go for accurate and unobtrusive ways to measure sleep and activity, with useful feedback and tips for what could be changed. Plus non-invasive brain stimulation systems that can really be used (and monitored) at home

UK #sleeppeeps! I'm looking into charities/peer support groups for people with #sleep disorders, but can't find any UK-based organisations specifically aimed at supporting people with parasomnias, circadian rhythm disorders or insomnia. Any ideas?

Extended the deadline! Keen to hear from people after stroke who have used technology as part of their rehab. See more 👇⬇️ @HobbsRehab
