Childhood dreams come true! Incredibly grateful to have been invited to run a live demo at MathWorks @mathworks.bsky.social I showed our work on markerless 23DOF hand and arm dynamics from a single camera, moving beyond pose tracking toward physics-informed models of human motion. #sensorimotor
A new #preprint and my first from the NeuroMechatronics Lab! 🧠⚙️ Our work asks whether two [mostly] opposite forward and inverse dynamics computations can come from the same model / neural network, or, more precisely, learned object. Preprint: lnkd.in/gz-SwCx8 #sensorimotor #neuromechanics
🧠 Why do #neuromotor interfaces struggle when we change posture or get bumped? @neurowired.bsky.social and I are excited to share our work on this problem at the @sfn.org this Sunday! Stop by to discuss our ‘artificial physics engine’ approach! #sensorimotor #BCI #HMI #Myoelectric #EMG #AI
Hi, I’m Serhii 👨🏻🔬 I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Carnegie Mellon University (@cmu.edu) and Doug Weber’s Lab. I study how humans plan, execute, adapt, and perceive movements. Here are my papers: scholar.google.com/citations?us... Lets connect! 🧠 #sensorimotor @sfn.org

Ten years ago, i fell in love with MATLAB and pinned the @mathworks.bsky.social logo to a wish board, dreaming i’d visit the facility one day. Yesterday, that dream came true, thanks to a friend.
🚨 Job Alert! My PhD lab is recruiting two PhD students for NASA and Air Force-backed projects! Mentors: @neurowired.bsky.social @valeriyag.bsky.social Priority review ends July 7, 2025. Positions remain open until filled. #sensorimotor #academia #neuroskyence sites.google.com/site/neurale...

🏅 Stephen E. Alway Outstanding PhD Award Sincere thanks to Sergiy Yakovenko @neurowired.bsky.social, whose guidance has deeply influenced my scientific path! I consider this award a shared achievement with all members of our Neuromechanics & Engineering Lab. #neuroskyence #sensorimotor #Academia
Gold at the #3MT! 🥇 Donating the amount equal to the full prize 🇺🇦 to support a man who’s been like a second father to me — now in urgent need on the Ukrainian frontlines. Thanks to the organizers, my mentors, and everyone who cheered me on! #3MT #StandWithUkraine #neuroskyence
Bittersweet moment—my last talk in the grad student seminar series 🎙️ Big thanks to PRP faculty and friends for the critiques and the applause along the way, love you all. @wvumedschool.bsky.social #neuroskyence #sensorimotor
This Monday, Dr. ElviraPirondini absolutely overflowed our conference room, with 50+ students and faculty packed inside, and 20+ more spilled online when there was nowhere left to sit! 🧠⚡ Thank you for sharing your group’s research and the extended conversations we had—we were so glad to host you!
We're thrilled to welcome Dr. Elvira Pirondini this coming Monday, March 31! ⏰ Time: 12:00 PM (EST) 📍 In-person: BMRC Room 301 💻 Virtual: Zoom 🔗 For the Zoom link, please message me or email Becca (see flyer below). #neuroskyence @neurowired.bsky.social @annakorol.bsky.social @stahmid.bsky.social
Writing an abstract for a talk that describes two very different studies is hell 🙃 You can’t just say, “Now, I want to shift gears” in the middle of the text, like you would in the middle of the talk #Neuroskyence #AcademicSky
Join us for the University of Pittsburgh's Neuroscience / Neural Engineering Workshop on May 19-20th! This event brings together leading experimental & computational neuroscientists to drive progress in cross-species, reverse & forward translation of cortical circuits & behavior. stim.bioniclab.org
Excited to share that @neurowired.bsky.social and I are hosting Robert Gaunt from the Rehab Neural Engineering Labs this Monday! 📅 Date: March 3rd ⏰ Time: 12:00 PM (EST) 📍 In-person: BMRC Room 301 💻 Virtual: Zoom Contact us for the Zoom link. Flyer below! #neuroskyence #sensorimotor
Another scholarship! 🎉 😎 Couldn’t have made it without epic brainstorming sessions with my mentors (@neurowired.bsky.social, @valeriyag.bsky.social) and friends (@annakorol.bsky.social, @stahmid.bsky.social)! #sensorimotor #neuroskyence medicine.hsc.wvu.edu/News/Story?h...

Love to science together with these folks! #HappyValentinesDay 🥼🫶 @neurowired.bsky.social @annakorol.bsky.social @stahmid.bsky.social
Just presented it in our departmental Journal Club—great work indeed! 👏
New in @science.org our study "Tactile edges and motion via patterned microstimulation of the human somatosensory cortex". 🦾 🧠 ⚡ science.org/doi/10.1126/... Interesting related perspective by prof. Paul Marasco science.org/doi/10.1126/...
I rarely get this surprised, but generating a podcast based on papers you want to read is just nuts. 🔗 notebooklm.google #neuroskyence #science #academia
curriculum vitae is Latin for “course of (one's) life”
Can the motor system use sensory expectations to prepare for unexpected events? Excited to share my latest work with @andpru.bsky.social – where we establish that sensory expectations shape neural population dynamics in motor circuits! 🧵 and paper below 1/
Also believe that ‘skipped steps’ in thinking become apparent only when you sit down to draw/code up a model #neuroskyence #Sensorimotor
Apropos of never ending discussions about whether ANNs are "good" models of the nervous system, here is a slide I present to masters students showing a network that is found in motor control circuits *across phyla* (that's pretty ubiquitous!) I ask them to guess what it does...
The preprint battle in neuroscience has gradually been won. I think the next step will be more dramatic -- a collapse in peer review resources to service each paper.
What an awesome discussion we had today with @westernu.bsky.social’s Mehrdad Kashefi and Andrew Pruszynski! 🧠 Thanks a lot, @mkashefi.bsky.social, for sharing your work with the Motor Control Group! A lot to think about! #Sensorimotor #neuroskyence @andpru.bsky.social @annakorol.bsky.social
Very interesting approach by @trackingskills.bsky.social and team! www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...
Acquiring musculoskeletal skills with curriculum-based reinforcement learning
Chiappa et al. develop a reinforcement learning algorithm that is inspired by coaching practice, which allows training a controller to perform object-manipulation skills when controlling biomechanical models of the human hand.

How the brain coordinates the activity of its many muscles to achieve successful control remains an enigma. www.cell.com/issue/S0896-...
Kept wondering how the nervous system computes derivatives. Turns out it’s actually pretty simple. arts.uwaterloo.ca/~celiasmi/Pa... #sensorimotor #neuroskyence
