Thrilled to have this cool work with @NeuromechanicsL and Tim Cope published! Give it a look if you're interested in human motor control, proprioception, smart prosthetics, or fun science stuff in general

If you're at #SfN2023 come by our poster with @NeuromechanicsL to learn about how we can sculpt our muscle spindle outputs using gamma motor drive depending on what we care about in a task. Poster number PSTR418.05 on Tuesday afternoon

[Jacob Stephens @j_dstephens]

Excited for #SfN2023 ! If you’re interested in proprioception and reflexive movement control, come see my poster “Differential force encoding between primary and secondary muscle spindle afferents” at session 418 on Tuesday! @NeuromechanicsL

[Neuromechanics Lab is Lena Ting @NeuromechanicsL]

How does tendon compliance alter muscle spindle firing? Led by Em Abbott and @j_dstephens, our collaborative paper with paper with @gregory_sawicki Tim Cope, Paul Nardelli, and @simha_surabhi is out!

Many years in the making, check out my latest paper showing the balance N1 potential is associated with balance and cognitive impairments in Parkinson's disease. https://t.co/VCubDY7cRV #ERP #Parkinsons #EEG @NeuromechanicsL @JLucasMcKay

[Neuromechanics Lab is Lena Ting @NeuromechanicsL]

Our first paper on EEG in PD! We got our first grant to study EEG in Parkinsons disease about 8 years ago. All @AidenPayne15 had to do was establish several entirely new methods in the lab, first in healthy participants!

[Jacob Stephens @j_dstephens]

Excited to get things started! @NeuromechanicsL @simha_surabhi #proprioception

“The basic position has been, ‘we cured your cancer, but you have neurotoxin damage, so let’s manage those symptoms.’"

But what if the nerve cells didn’t have to become dysfunctional? What if you could stop the damage before it even begins? | https://t.co/M7S4lFa25E

New PhD Alert!! Congratulations to Dr. Pawel Golyski for earning his PhD in BioEngineering! He is now moving on to a research scientist position at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

[Neuromechanics Lab is Lena Ting @NeuromechanicsL]

The first in-person conference for most of the lab reminded us of how important scientific and interpersonal exchanges are in science! Great job to everyone -- we had 16 abstracts in total and 1 trainee award #ISPGR2022

[Kesar Lab @kesar_lab]

Immeasurably proud of our (lab’s 1st) PhD student @Ale_Lopez012 for winning the #award 🏅 for the best oral presentation by a trainee @ISPGR 2022 in #Montreal! Cheers to co-mentors @NPResearchLab @NeuromechanicsL #proudmentor

[Jacob Stephens @j_dstephens]

Great time exploring Montreal with the free afternoon in #ISPGR2022
