Digital foot could revolutionise bionic limbs and other assistive technologies. Great to see our work with @ShefTouch @ScienceShef on their computational model, FootSim, featured in @TheEngineerUK theengineer.co.uk/content/ne…

Our latest work was featured in the Engineer! “The model we’ve developed here at Sheffield now enables us to replicate the signals that allow the nervous system to walk and maintain balance in unprecedented detail,” Dr Siqueira said. theengineer.co.uk/content/ne…

Admire the beautiful cover, check out our preview (w/ @lauraredmondson), then read the full paper by @sarah_wandelt and colleagues!
New issue -> cell.com/neuron/current Cover is by @kreldjarn for a study showing grasp & speech signals found in the cortical grasp circuit in a tetraplegic human. Paper by @Sarah_Wandelt & coll. -> bit.ly/3z5ZYPo Previewed by Edmondson & Saal -> bit.ly/3aANt4a

New preprint from the lab! 👇
PREPRINT ALERT🚨 @miguel_casal and I looked at the encoding strategies of tactile afferents at population level: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… We found that information is spread across afferent classes, and combining information from multiple classes improves information encoding 1/4

Congratulations to @CornianiGiulia for winning 3rd place in the Work-in-progress poster category at EuroHaptics2022 for her work on sub-surface skin imaging during dynamic contact! Work with @delhayeben, @MattJCarre, Zing Lee, Roger Lewis. @insigneo

If you're interested in the sort of research that I'm interested in (e.g. computational/theory work in SNNs or the auditory system), please do consider submitting your work to @eLife! I've been an editor there now for a year and I'm not seeing a lot of papers in these areas.

Very proud to find out that I passed my PhD in Cybernetics degree @UniofReading under the mentorship of Professor @NasutoSlawek 🎉 And I'm loving the post-doc at the @ShefTouch PhD too! Bring on the next challenge! 😁

Really pleased with my talk at the @neuromatch conference yesterday. We talked about our work here at the @ShefTouch modelling the tactile afferents of the foot sole and its implications to the development of prosthetics. lnkd.in/dTV3-R9 #academictwitter #prosthetics
