Super happy to kickoff our lab's first R01 to develop spatiotemporal control of tSCS! We'll be looking for Postdocs and PhD students to lead this amazing work. Please share with anyone who might be interested!

Finally out! Eight years after initiating this study with Simon Borgognon, Nicolo Macellari, and Gregoire Courtine, we have uncovered neural population dynamics shared among premotor, motor, and somatosensory cortices during various types of locomotor tasks. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Regional specialization of movement encoding across the primate sensorimotor cortex - Nature Communications

How the cortex generates movement to achieve different tasks remains poorly understood. Here the authors show that the cortex serializes motor control by first performing task-specific computations in...

Worth a listen, new podcast from @u2fp.bsky.social with Dr. Andy Taylor on the recently disbanded $40M DoD spinal cord injury research program. This was a unique program which ensured people impacted by SCI were helping make funding decisions based on community priorities. u2fp.org/get-educated...

Collateral Damage (Episode 119)

We are interrupting our regularly scheduled programming with this update on a major setback for SCI research. On March 15th, Congress eliminated an effective Spinal Cord Injury Research program...

Very excited to be part of this panel at #ASNR2025! Looking forward to discussing transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation for rehabilitation, sharing insights, and exploring open questions with amazing colleagues. #rehabilitation #NeuroRehab

We're thrilled to have Drs. Ismael Seáñez, Karen Minassian, Edelle Field-Fote, and @dr-shlee.bsky.social speaking at #ASNR2025 about the use of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation in #rehabilitation! 🧠🔄 🧠📈 🧪 Visit our website to learn more and register to attend! www.asnr.com/i4a/pages/in...

The text at the top reads, "Join us at #ASNR2025 to learn from experts in this Symposium Session!". Below to the left, there are headshot photos of each of the speakers listed in the post. To the right, the text reads, "Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation for Rehabilitation: Current Understanding and Remaining Questions". Below, it says, "Thursday, April 24, 2025, 2:15 - 3:15 pm ET, Grand Hyatt Buckhead in Atlanta, GA". The logo for the American Society of Neurorehabilitation (ASNR) appears at the bottom.

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics. At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants

Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

This is incredibly upsetting. While the effects of these cancellations are clear to academics, we need to ensure that the wider public is not only aware of what's happening, but also understands how much damage this will cause to health and medical infrastructure, tech innovation, and higher ed.

This will start to filter through the community today but the Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Science Study section has been postponed to an unknown future date. The approvals at the highest levels that needed to happen for a federal review meeting to be held didn’t get done. 1/n

Proud of Carolyn Atkinson and Lorenzo Lombardi's work on our first steps toward developing a non-invasive brain-spine interface! We predict leg extension from EEG and use the predictions to control the delivery of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
