NU Splash Biography

We take our movements for granted, and yet, our ability to move is what allows us to put our thoughts and plans into action. In my class, I will provide a brief tour of our current understanding of how the brain controls how we move. The talk will be accompanied by a demonstration of recording muscle activity as I (and/or a volunteer) perform different movements. Finally, I will end the class by discussing how this research has real world application by helping us design better prosthetics, and improve recovery from spinal injuries.
