Come learn about the amazing work by Rachel, Rod, Carolyn, and Natalie in the #SeáñezLab at #SfN25 in San Diego, CA! @washuengineers.bsky.social

Super happy to kickoff our lab's first R01 to develop spatiotemporal control of tSCS!

We'll be looking for Postdocs and PhD students to lead this amazing work. Please share with anyone who might be interested!

Just TWO WEEKS left to apply to the 2026 TIGRR Workshop! Don't miss the chance to invest in your research future! Apply here --> https://medschool.cuanschutz.edu/physical-therapy-program/research/tigrr

Regional specialization of movement encoding across the primate sensorimotor cortex - Nature Communications How the cortex generates movement to achieve different tasks remains poorly understood. Here the authors show that the cortex serializes motor control by first performing task-specific computations in...

Finally out!
Eight years after initiating this study with Simon Borgognon, Nicolo Macellari, and Gregoire Courtine, we have uncovered neural population dynamics shared among premotor, motor, and somatosensory cortices during various types of locomotor tasks.

The TIGRR workshop has been one of the most valuable experiences I've had as an early career researcher. Applications for the 2026 workshop open soon!

We could not have done this without collaborating with the labs of Drs. Eric Leuthardt, MD, and Peter Brunner, PhD! #WashUDivisionOfNeurotechnology #TeamScience

Development and evaluation of a non-invasive brain-spine interface using transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation - Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation Motor rehabilitation is a therapeutic process to facilitate functional recovery in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). However, its efficacy is limited to areas with remaining sensorimotor function....

Super cool work led by Carolyn Atkinson and Lorenzo Lombardi in our lab, where we developed a non-invasive brain-spine interface that controls spinal cord stimulation based on brain signals from EEG in real time! #WashUBME #WashUMedicine

NSF slashes prestigious PhD fellowship awards by half US National Science Foundation announces lowest number of Graduate Research Fellowship Programme recipients in 15 years.

NSF will award ~1,000 instead of their usual ~2,000 Graduate Research Fellowships this year.

We are just a couple of weeks away from #ASNR2025! We have an excellent panel (among many) discussing our current understanding & remaining questions around transcutaneous SCS for rehab
This will be my first time in Atlanta. I hope to see you there! I'll be drinking sweet tea🍹

Collateral Damage (Episode 119) We are interrupting our regularly scheduled programming with this update on a major setback for SCI research. On March 15th, Congress eliminated an effective Spinal Cord Injury Research program...

Worth a listen, new podcast from @u2fp.bsky.social with Dr. Andy Taylor on the recently disbanded $40M DoD spinal cord injury research program.

This was a unique program which ensured people impacted by SCI were helping make funding decisions based on community priorities.

Yee, congratulations, Amy!!!

Very excited to be part of this panel at #ASNR2025! Looking forward to discussing transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation for rehabilitation, sharing insights, and exploring open questions with amazing colleagues. #rehabilitation #NeuroRehab

The text at the top reads, "Join us at #ASNR2025 to learn from experts in this Symposium Session!". Below to the left, there are headshot photos of each of the speakers listed in the post. To the right, the text reads, "Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation for Rehabilitation: Current Understanding and Remaining Questions". Below, it says, "Thursday, April 24, 2025, 2:15 - 3:15 pm ET, Grand Hyatt Buckhead in Atlanta, GA". The logo for the American Society of Neurorehabilitation (ASNR) appears at the bottom.

We're thrilled to have Drs. Ismael Seáñez, Karen Minassian, Edelle Field-Fote, and @dr-shlee.bsky.social speaking at #ASNR2025 about the use of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation in #rehabilitation! 🧠🔄 🧠📈 🧪

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics.

At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me.

The first NIH posting to the Federal Register since the inauguration appeared today. It lists several study section meetings. Great news! www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

This is incredibly upsetting. While the effects of these cancellations are clear to academics, we need to ensure that the wider public is not only aware of what's happening, but also understands how much damage this will cause to health and medical infrastructure, tech innovation, and higher ed.

Come join us at our Workshop on Kilohertz Carrier Frequencies in tSCS during #RehabWeek Chicago 2025 (May 12-May 15)!

Proud of Carolyn Atkinson and Lorenzo Lombardi's work on our first steps toward developing a non-invasive brain-spine interface!
We predict leg extension from EEG and use the predictions to control the delivery of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation.
