Whoa, we are on @medical_xpress
with FootSim!

Digital foot could revolutionise bionic limbs and other assistive technologies. Great to see our work with @ShefTouch @ScienceShef on their computational model, FootSim, featured in @TheEngineerUK https://t.co/FKCPXS8ysp

[Active Touch Shef @ShefTouch]

Our latest work was featured in the Engineer!

“The model we’ve developed here at Sheffield now enables us to replicate the signals that allow the nervous system to walk and maintain balance in unprecedented detail,” Dr Siqueira said.

"Complexity of spatiotemporal plantar pressure patterns during everyday behaviours" now on @biorxivpreprint https://t.co/jHm1KizUgf

We use our feet during #gait/#balance, but what the #feet experience is not that simple! 1/n

New paper! 🚨 We introduce footsim- a model simulating realistic cutaneous afferent activation on the foot sole 🦶

Woo-hoo, so proud of my first ever PhD student @lauraredmondson, who graduated today! #proudsupervisor #teambowtie

[NeuTouch_project @neutouch]

Yesterday we had a Neutouch meeting at @sheffielduni.Thank you @GiDominijanni for the amazing talk to update us on your study. We're all looking forward to new collaborations🤞🏻

[Hannes Saal @SuperHannes]

Admire the beautiful cover, check out our preview (w/ @lauraredmondson), then read the full paper by @sarah_wandelt and colleagues!

[Active Touch Shef @ShefTouch]

New preprint from the lab! 👇

[Giulia Corniani @CornianiGiulia]

PREPRINT ALERT🚨 @miguel_casal and I looked at the encoding strategies of tactile afferents at population level: https://t.co/Dr8zWLdTCJ
We found that information is spread across afferent classes, and combining information from multiple classes improves information encoding 1/4

[Hannes Saal @SuperHannes]

Congratulations to @CornianiGiulia for winning 3rd place in the Work-in-progress poster category at EuroHaptics2022 for her work on sub-surface skin imaging during dynamic contact! Work with @delhayeben, @MattJCarre, Zing Lee, Roger Lewis. @insigneo

[Dan Goodman @neuralreckoning]

If you're interested in the sort of research that I'm interested in (e.g. computational/theory work in SNNs or the auditory system), please do consider submitting your work to @eLife! I've been an editor there now for a year and I'm not seeing a lot of papers in these areas.

[Active Touch Shef @ShefTouch]

@CornianiGiulia will present work on OCT imaging of skin strain patterns at SfN next week!

Live session Nov 11, 8:45AM (CST) 🖐

[Giulia Corniani @CornianiGiulia]

I am pleased to present the latest result of my work at #SfN2021>>> P415.10: Imaging dynamic sub-surface skin strain patterns during object interaction using Optical Coherence Tomography

Live session will be November 11, 2021 8:45 – 9:45 AM (CST)

Congratulations to our own @rodrigo_kazu that is now a PhD! Welcome DOCTOR Rodrigo!

[Rodrigo Kazu @DrRodrigoKazu]

Very proud to find out that I passed my PhD in Cybernetics degree @UniofReading under the mentorship of Professor @NasutoSlawek 🎉

And I'm loving the post-doc at the @ShefTouch PhD too! Bring on the next challenge! 😁

[Active Touch Shef @ShefTouch]

Active Touch Lab engaged in exciting discussions about changes in skin mechanics with ageing.

@SuperHannes @cleland_luke @lauraredmondson @CornianiGiulia @zijunli12

[Rodrigo Kazu @DrRodrigoKazu]

Really pleased with my talk at the @neuromatch conference yesterday. We talked about our work here at the @ShefTouch modelling the tactile afferents of the foot sole and its implications to the development of prosthetics.

Our own Rodrigo is going live in 30 minutes with his talk about the modelling of tactile responses from the foot sole! Be sure to come and ask a question! Available on youtube.
