Studying touch at the interface between biomechanics and neural encoding

[Neeli Tummala @neelitummala]

The work I presented at #SfN2023 and #FestivalOfTouch and have been working on for most of my PhD is out! TLDR: Hand biomechanics pre-neuronally modifies skin oscillations, which diversifies Pacinian corpuscle population responses.

If you're at SfN this week or ever in the Chicago area, please reach out. I'd love to catch up!

Excited to share that I received my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from UC Santa Barbara working with Yon Visell and recently started my postdoc with Mitra Hartmann and Gordon Shepherd at Northwestern. Many thanks to everyone who was part of this journey!

@delhayeben Thank you, Benoit! I hope you find the toolbox useful!

"SkinSource: A Data-Driven Toolbox for Predicting Touch-Elicited Vibrations in the Upper Limb," predicts skin vibrations across the upper limb elicited by any tactile stimulus applied to the hand. Get your hands on the toolbox on Zenodo and GitHub (pun intended)!

I am very excited to share that my paper, co-first authored with Gregory Reardon, received the Best Conference Paper Award at the 2024 IEEE Haptics Symposium! A huge thank you to our co-authors, Simone Fani, Dustin Goetz, Matteo Bianchi, and @YonVisell.

I'm presenting our work on how pre-neuronal biomechanical filtering diversifies Pacinian corpuscle responses in the hand at #SfN23 @SuperHannes @YonVisell. Please stop by!

Today, I gave my first-ever research talk at the #FestivalOfTouch, my first-ever conference! Super honored and excited!
