Anytime we bring on new people (students, postdocs, staff, faculty), I always wish we had more spots based on the number of many amazing applicants.

I like to follow the careers of the people who we couldn't hire, and I get a big smile when I see their successes. Keep it up!

We're accepting applications for a *paid* research experience (including a stipend and housing) for undergraduate students over the summer, as part of the Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) at the University of Utah. For more details and to apply: our.utah.edu/spur/explori...

We’d love to see these insights help fuel more studies on daily-life head movement in both research and clinical settings. The full dataset is freely available for anyone who wants to dive in!

Stay tuned for how these data can help us understand the impact of TBI on daily life!

We continuously monitored 7 days of head and trunk motion using wearable sensors and found that adults make over 5,000 head turns per day, most of them independent of trunk movement — and that these metrics become highly reliable by Day 2.

In this work, we outline how to remotely monitor head motion over multiple days by addressing key challenges:
1. Compliance
2. Sensor orientation
3. Normative descriptive statistics
4. Relationships with other continuous monitoring metrics
5. Minimum wear time

🎉Excited to share our latest publication, led by PhD student Selena Cho, on continuous monitoring of head kinematics in daily life! From scanning the environment, to gesturing, to turning — head movements play a critical role in how we interact with the world.

I'm really proud of being part of this paper - an amazing success for us in the Western Sensorimotor Superlab with @andpru.bsky.social @gribblelab.org! Congrats Jon!

It's like reliving the uncertainty, and then relief + exhilaration of finding Ruby or Emerald Weapon with your golden chocobo, catching Missingno. off the coast of Cinnabar Island, or finding your other favorite easter egg for the first time.

Camping in Utah is like video games in the late 90s. You hear info about a special spot, find vague directions online from a sketchy website, spend hours following unmarked roads wondering if this is a waste of time, and then get to the destination and it lives up to the hype.

Is It Me or the Train Moving? Humans Resolve Sensory Conflicts with a Nonlinear Feedback Mechanism in Balance Control Humans use multiple sensory systems to estimate body orientation in space. Sensory contributions change depending on context. A predominant concept for the underlying multisensory integration (MSI) is...

When the @amsocbiomech.bsky.social business meeting notes how many followers the bluesky account has in comparison to other social media platforms

#ASB2025 was amazing! See you all next year @amsocbiomech.bsky.social!

The @utah.edu @amsocbiomech.bsky.social community is going to be well-represented at #ASB2025!

Bye baggy! Hope you find your dad (or mom)!

I just saw some stranger's day get ruined. It will be hours until they know, and there is nothing I can do. Still, I feel sad for them. #lostbag

Looking forward to seeing you all in a few days time and hearing all about the exciting new work in the areas of posture and gait (and everything between!) #ISPGR2025

Excited to see @ispgr.bsky.social promoting bluesky across the society at #ispgr2025. I've been missing the online interactions for a few years now, and hopefully we can get it back here!

Excited to receive our lab's first R01 today! It's been a long time waiting for this NOA, but we're relieved and excited to get started

Officially relocated to SLC from North Carolina about 3 weeks ago and am loving life out here so far 🤩

This paper is now published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface.

Thanks to some great reviewers for helping to improve the paper even further!
