Join us in Hamburg! The program of our workshop is now available: delhayeben.github.io/eh2022workshop… We are still looking for poster contributions, please reach out!

That’s a wrap on #EuroHaptics2022 with a 3rd placement for our WIP poster on the preliminary results of our study about #OCT and skin strain patterns. ✌🏻 it was an intense week of science, and it was exciting to finally get to know so many amazing people in person!

Congratulations to Giulia Corniani for winning 3rd place in the Work-in-progress poster category at EuroHaptics2022 for her work on sub-surface skin imaging during dynamic contact! Work with Benoit Delhaye, Matt Carré, Zing Lee, Roger Lewis. Insigneo Institute

Yesterday we had a Neutouch meeting at The University of Sheffield.Thank you Giulia Dominijanni for the amazing talk to update us on your study. We're all looking forward to new collaborations🤞🏻 Active Touch Shef Plasticity Lab Tony Prescott Hannes Saal Miguel Casal Giulia Corniani Pablo Salazar

Block your calendar for 26-29 September! Our Summer School on Technologies for Touch will take place in Arenzano, Italy. Stay tuned for more information! #Robotics #Tactile #SummerSchool

- Yesterday, I submitted my PhD thesis🥳🤞 - Today marks exactly 3 years since I joined Active Touch Shef and started my journey in NeuTouch_project - In 2 weeks, I will present my work at #SfN on measuring sub-surface skin deformation in vivo and dynamic conditions☝️ What an exciting time!🤩

In this new study, these researchers make use of a computer simulation to recreate the population activity of large numbers of tactile neurons and examine how information is spread across different neurons. Read the full article here: plos.io/3uPB2IF

🚨IT’S OUT🚨 Super happy to coauthor with Giulia Corniani a study exploring population coding in human tactile afferents. Paper is now published in PLOS Comp Biol and comments are more than welcome. Link ⬇️⬇️⬇️

New paper! 🚨 We introduce footsim- a model simulating realistic cutaneous afferent activation on the foot sole 🦶 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… with Natalija Katic Secerovic Rodrigo Kazu Luke Cleland, PhD Nick Strzalkowski Leah Stanisa Raspopovic Hannes Saal

2000: my very first day as a student 2023: finally, #PhDone ✌️ I couldn't have asked for a better PhD experience, thanks to the invaluable support of my exceptional supervisor Hannes Saal and colleagues at NeuTouch_project and Active Touch Shef. Here's to the next one (just a few days away)!

Are you working on touch? Join our workshop, Neuromorphic Technologies for Touch Perception, at IEEE World Haptics Conference and present your work in a poster session. We look forward to meeting you there! #worldhaptics2023 #stayInTouch

What a week last one! I presented my PhD work at IEEE World Haptics Conference and graduated from The University of Sheffield. I truly enjoyed my PhD, mostly thanks to my supervisor Hannes Saal and colleagues/friends of NeuTouch_project. A bit sad this is coming to an end, but science and life will keep us in touch✌🏻

Excited to share that my first journal paper as a postdoc at Harvard Medical School's Motion Analysis Lab is out! This pilot study is part of a longitudinal project using ML and wearables to study X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism. Take a look! doi.org/10.1038/s41598…
