New paper in @ScienceTM showing how a clinically available device can be used to reduce #spasticity and to restore #walking in SCI patients by using low and high-frequency #spinal #neuromodulation with @MyUniSR (Prof. Mortini). First author @SimoneRomeni (dedicated to AM)

Check out our last work in @ScienceTM! science.org/doi/10.1126/scit… We introduce and characterize a new epidural electrical stimulation protocol helping to reduce spastic muscle co-contractions while using traditional stimulation to strengthen residual functions A thread 1/8

The work was carried in a collaboration between @SanRaffaeleMI, @MyUniSR, @SantAnnaPisa, and @EPFL_en, which gave birth to the @MINE_Neurotech, co-led by prof @_smicera and prof Pietro Mortini. My deepest thanks go to them for setting up an incredible research environment 7/8

Of course, this is a huge team work carried on with co-first authors Elena Losanno, @Daniele20590, Luigi Albano, Filippo Agnesi and with many many other great researchers. Special thanks go to dr Sandro Iannaccone, in whose rehab unit the patients underwent an incredible path 8/8

I would like to thank all co-authors (@lauratoni98, Gabriele), and particularly first authors @d_danieladeluca for her work on deep learning and experiments, and Luca Pierantoni for developing much of the cleverness behind our geometrical model during his master thesis! 11/12

And thanks to @saramoccia for the patient help and supervision about how deep learning could help optic nerve prostheses, and to @_smicera for helping all of us become better translational neuro-engineers every day! 12/12
