November 12-16, 2022 our lab attended the annual Society for Neuroscience (SfN) meeting in San Diego, CA! SfN is a very large international conference covering all aspects of neuroscience research. The conference was a great success for the lab, featuring one virtual and five in-person poster presentations. Additionally, PhD student Caleb Thompson was featured in a special presentation session for Trainee Professional Development Award (TPDA) winners. See presentation titles below:
Monika Buczak (BME Ph.D. Student): “Electronic Grip Gauge (EGG): Tool to Assess Sensorimotor Interplay in Regulation of Fine Hand Control”
Abigail Harrison (BME Undergraduate Student): “Transcutaneous Wrist Stimulation for Haptic Feedback from the Hand in Virtual and Augmented Reality”
Danielle Lopez (Neuroscience Ph.D. Student): “Utilizing EMG for Stroke Diagnostics: Identifying Metrics that Indicate Degree of Spasticity”
Connor Olsen (ECE Ph.D. Student): “Electromyographically Controlled Prosthetic Wrist Improves Dexterity and Reduces Compensatory Movements without Added Cognitive Load”
Caleb Thompson (BME Ph.D. Student): “Proportional Electromyographical Control of a Bionic Arm in Participants with Chronic Hemiparesis, Muscle Spasticity and Impaired Range of Motion”
Marshall Trout (ECE Ph.D. Student): “Design and Validation of a Low-Cost Noninvasive Neural Stimulator for Functional Electrical Stimulation of Peripheral Nerves and Muscles”
