Excited to announce that I have been awarded the @NIHDirector's Early Independence Award! This award provides ~$1.8M over 5 years to develop adaptive #BrainComputerInterfaces and #Bionic #Exoskeletons that can assist and rehabilitate stroke patients. nih.gov/news-events/news-rel… 1/3
Huge congrats to @connordo15 for winning the #NSFGRFP and to @MonikaKBuczak for being awarded honorable mention! I'm grateful to work with such stellar graduate students. 👏👏👏 @UofUECE @UtahBME @UtahCoE @UofU_PMR

Exciting news! We are hiring a Canada Research Chair (NSERC, Tier 2), tenure-track faculty position in Rehabilitation Engineering at the @UNB_IBME, at @UNBEngineering. We invite early career scholars (<10 years experience), who may one day be leaders in the field.

Quite the vitae indeed! It's not everyday you see a high school student submit a first-author paper to a flagship conference. Congrats Aaron! Well deserved! Very bright future ahead! ✨
High school senior Aaron Wang, who is a paid research assistant with the @UUtah NeuroRobotics Lab, added another title to his impressive vitae: General Sterling Scholar winner of the 2023 Deseret News/KSL Sterling Scholar Program. | By @DN_Marjorie

Looking for a programmer with expertise in C++ and Matlab or Python to control robots and interface them directly with the nervous system. Join an existing team of fantastic programmers and engineers to push the boundaries of BCIs. If interested, DM me. #BCI @Corbionics

MDPI journals have been included in the list of predatory journals. It was about time. predatoryreports.org/news/f/…

If you care about the future of neural engineering, this is a must-read. Thoughtful discussion & synthesis of barriers to inclusion, with a particular emphasis on nuanced challenges in interdisciplinary fields like neural engineering. Plus, concrete solution suggestions 🙌

Super cool to play around with this device in @Jacob_A_George’s neural engineering class! Our group used it to implement an EMG-based, closed-loop stimulator for foot drop ⚡️🤓
Want to electrically activate motor or sensory nerves noninvasively? It can require 300 Volts to drive localized current through the skin!⚡️Not many stimulators can hit 300 V, so we developed a new multichannel stimulator that's <$250 and open-source! 1/4 rdcu.be/c6DKY

You can also evoke artificial sensory percepts by stimulating the skin (electrocutaneous) or afferent nerves (transcutaneous). Stimulating the skin, or reinnervated skin in the case of limb-loss, is easier to target and can encode intensity w/ 2x resolution! 3/4
Shout out to coauthors who made this work possible. Extra kudos to Marshall Trout, 1st author, who made 20 stimulators so students in my neuroengineering class at @UtahBME & @UofUECE could explore custom stim waveforms and parameters! Read more below👇4/4 doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-3…

RFI alert from @NIH:
We've all heard many concerns about #postdoc training: retention in academia, perceived decline in #s, salary...
An @NIH Advisory Committee to the Director working group is exploring & has issued an RFI.
Love your responses: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/…
