Our new framework describing how fear of falling turns maladaptive (from protective) is finally out in Age_and_Ageing. Final paper from my Fellowship with Will Young and mark wilson (and Elmar Kal). Probably the one I am most proud of. academic.oup.com/ageing/article…

Yes, and conversely if you're studying movement you'll need to understand how memory, sensory processing, cognition, and emotion affect how we adapt our movements. Oh and seriously Mackenzie has it only been 6 years since your PhD to you ruling the field now?

An NIH advisory group announced today that they're recommending the agency boost its minimum #postdoc salary to $70,000, up from the current $56,484. Many postdocs feel "underpaid and overworked," a co-chair said. My latest for ScienceInsider: science.org/content/articl…

What are the hottest and most important topics in DBS, neurotechnology and neuromodulation? The speakers and topics for each year's DBS Think Tank are chosen based on your submissions. The meeting will be August 21-23, 2024. We encourage everyone to make suggestions! Link below

Incredibly sad news for the Emory Neuroscience community

My lab's Slack workspace down and now we have to actually talk to each other. Slack

Great panel on muscle spindles and their modulation in movement! Thanks to Surabhi for organizing and the complementary works by Surabhi Simha Alessandro Santuz Michael Dmitriou with discussion help from David Franklin NCM society

Announcing this awesome paper by Jasmine Mirdamadi with NPRL! Individual differences in cortical beta power are associated with whole-body functional motion perception, whereas modulation of evoked cortical responses relate to balance ability. jneurosci.org/content/44/15/…

Hey #ASB2024 attendees - we are likely looking for a postdoc in the very near future. If you are looking for a postdoc and want to work on reactive balance, robotic shoes, concussions, mobility, and wearables then let's chat in Madison!

Going to American Society of Biomechanics #asb2024! Check out work by post docs Kristen Jakubowski Michael Rosenberg PhD students Sidd Nathella, Autumn Routt, and undergrads Benjamin Fargnoli and Joon Han Kim.

Congrats to Taniel Winner on her paper showing persistent individual differences in gait dynamics across walking speeds using a data-driven RNN model of gait. We could identify individuals regardless of gait speed using only kinematics. nature.com/articles/s4159…

So proud of Taniel Winner on her publication showing individual differences in gait dynamics signatures across walking speeds! A product of our collaboration with Gordon Berman & Neuromechanics Lab is Lena Ting catalyzed by a 'winning' #BME PhD student (now Doctor)! nature.com/articles/s4159…
