Our Department of Health & Kinesiology in the University of Utah College of Health is hiring a new faculty member in the area of Sport and Human Performance! Apply here: utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/199... Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
Womp womp. Found out today that our NIH grant that had an impact score of 19 won't be funded. Filing this over under 'Not Funded*' *Due to generally terrible world events and horrible time for US federal funding for research
Anytime we bring on new people (students, postdocs, staff, faculty), I always wish we had more spots based on the number of many amazing applicants. I like to follow the careers of the people who we couldn't hire, and I get a big smile when I see their successes. Keep it up!
We're accepting applications for a *paid* research experience (including a stipend and housing) for undergraduate students over the summer, as part of the Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) at the University of Utah. For more details and to apply: our.utah.edu/spur/explori...
🎉Excited to share our latest publication, led by PhD student Selena Cho, on continuous monitoring of head kinematics in daily life! From scanning the environment, to gesturing, to turning — head movements play a critical role in how we interact with the world. ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/112...
I'm really proud of being part of this paper - an amazing success for us in the Western Sensorimotor Superlab with @andpru.bsky.social @gribblelab.org! Congrats Jon!
Thrilled that our paper is out today in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/s4...

Camping in Utah is like video games in the late 90s. You hear info about a special spot, find vague directions online from a sketchy website, spend hours following unmarked roads wondering if this is a waste of time, and then get to the destination and it lives up to the hype. #KeepUtahWild

Is It Me or the Train Moving? Humans Resolve Sensory Conflicts with a Nonlinear Feedback Mechanism in Balance Control
Humans use multiple sensory systems to estimate body orientation in space. Sensory contributions change depending on context. A predominant concept for the underlying multisensory integration (MSI) is...

Behavioural risk models explain locomotor and balance changes when walking at virtual heights | Journal of The Royal Society Interface
Walking in daily life requires humans to adapt to environments that can influence one’s fear of falling and anxiety about a potential fall. In such environments, individuals may adopt compensatory locomotor and balance changes to maintain a constant ...

A while ago, we got interested in why we choose to move the way we do. Pulling from behavioral economics, we started to explore how assessments of risk influence behavior. Here, we experimentally tested whether compensatory changes in balance and gait are aligned with these risk models.
Tomorrow, the @amsocbiomech.bsky.social Student Committee will be hosting a webinar on “Biomechanics in Industry” with Melissa Boswell, Hannah O’Day, Kurt Beschorner, and Evan Dooley! Event starts at 4pm Eastern, email ASBStudentRep@asbweb.org for the Zoom Link.
