New paper from the @ValeroLab shows that tactile sensors are less important than the order of learning experiences for embodied artificial intelligence. Tap to read more: viterbischool.usc.edu/news/2…

Exciting news! In our latest paper published last week on #ScienceAdvances, we showed that for a dexterous manipulation task, it is even more influential than having a more diverse set of sensors. science.org/doi/full/10.1126…

Arm movements are disrupted by unmodulated stretch reflexes. We propose a spinal cord circuit that could be as good as and complement mechanisms mediated by the brain & cerebellum. This has implications to the emergence and treatment of movement disorders. valerolab.org/Papers/2024_ni…

Muscle redundancy is greatly reduced by the spatiotemporal nature of neuromuscular control! #Neuroscience #motorcontrol

In one of our most recent publications we show some important motor adaptations revealed by fine synergies: valerolab.org/Papers/2023_Ba…

Synergy analysis is a standard approach to capture the dominant features of human movement (‘coarse synergies’). Here we demonstrate that the less dominant features (‘fine synergies’) reveal important adaptations and that they reflect differences in motor strategies.

Wonderful first day at the #NSF #DARE2023 conference, capped off by dinner in the historic LA Coliseum & an incredible unexpected drone show! ✨ Excited about the future of computational neurorehab!✨ Thank you @ValeroLab @jamesmfinley @neuroamyo & Kat Steele for organizing!
