This isn’t a class. It’s a controlled descent into the madness of the nervous system. Bring caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines—whatever gets you through. Strap in. Keep your wits. And remember: in neuroscience as in Vegas, you can’t stop the wave—you can only learn to ride it.

Stroke-Related Changes in Tonic and Phasic Muscle Recruitment During Reaching Reveal Pathway-Specific Motor Deficits https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.28.656732v1

Hot of the press! We studied how the nervous system simplifies control of complex limb dynamics. Turns out, muscle activity during reaching is shaped by the gravitational & dynamic forces—and joint moments tell us a lot. : journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... #NeuroSci #MotorControl #MuscleSynergies

Control signal dimensionality depends on limb dynamics

Neural control of movement has to overcome the problem of redundancy in the multidimensional musculoskeletal system. The problem can be solved by reducing the dimensionality of the control space of mo...

All jokes aside, I totally buy this. I often take even just a short break to get coffee and during that time reflect on the problem I'm stuck on. More often than not that totally changes my approach to solving it with success

1/ We just open-sourced two large wrist electromyography (EMG) datasets - one towards typing without a keyboard and the other for predicting hand poses - with baselines. We believe these will help advance research into making high bandwidth non-invasive neuromotor interfaces a reality!

We're looking forward to this #ASNR2024 session with Drs. Monica Perez, Stuart Baker, and Jules Dewald. Join us to learn more about reticulospinal contributions to movement after stroke and spinal cord injury! www.asnr.com/i4a/pages/in... #neurorehabilitation 🧠📈

Working on our lab's American Society of Biomechanics abstracts and trying to fit each of them into one page has me thinking about the Bob Seger song, Against The Wind... I've got so much more to think about Deadlines and commitments What to leave in, what to leave out🎶 #BiomechSky

In this study, we show that muscle activation appears to be managed by accounting for limb dynamics, not by simplifying control with muscle synergies. #firstfirstauthor #AcademicSky #neuroskyence #NeuroTech #BiomechSky #neurorehabilitation
