Thrilled to share that I’ve been awarded an @NIH F31 NRSA fellowship, funded by the @NIH_NINDS, to study sensory stimulation projected fields for neuroprostheses!!

Panelists from Onward Medical, JHU Applied Physics Lab, and HHMI Janelia shared their perspectives on building a career in neuroengineering at TNT professional development workshop.

🧵(1/N) Our review paper on sensory integration for neuroprostheses is finally out! This work was spearheaded by super talented Ph.D. candidate @ckqding at @JHUBME at Dr. Nitish Thakor's lab at JHU and with the collaboration of @GordonCheng9 and

I learned so much writing this review. Huge thanks to @mohsen_rakhshan, Natalia, @GordonCheng9, and @JHUNeuroEng!

In our discussion, we present some of the current work and future challenges with focuses on achieving natural somatosensory percepts☝️, neuroscience understanding🧠 and computational modeling💻, and assessment for sensory integration🗂️.

Excited to share that our review paper "Sensory Integration for Neuroprostheses: from Functional Benefits to Neural Correlates" is out in Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1007/s11517…

Are you curious about the academic journal editorial process? Join us for the "Meet the Editors" panel and hear from editors of various neuroscience and engineering journals! Time: May 13, Monday, 1-2PM EDT Location: Traylor 709 (JHSOM) or Zoom

Had a really great poster session this morning at #sfn2023! I got plenty of insightful comments and questions!

Happy to share a “Behind the Paper” blog post of our research paper! We wrote about why we wanted to study cortical recordings of individuals with amputation and how we approached this using network methods. go.nature.com/45kmGjd @JHUNeuroEng @Andrei_Dragomir

For the less tTENS-experienced individuals, we find that higher level processing, such as the attention network, is more involved. 👀

Looking at inter-connections between large-scale systems, we find enhanced interaction between systems that are directly associated with a sensory modality (somatomotor and visual networks).

When an individual with arm amputation receives sensory stimulation 🦾, what do we see in their brain signals 🧠? Paper out in Scientific Reports! doi.org/10.1038/s41598… Open Access: rdcu.be/c0xGA @JHUNeuroEng @Andrei_Dragomir @yrchen96 @losborn1 @rohitbose94 🧵-
