A very interesting take on storytelling in The Matrix (best film ever 😉🤩). You could even take this narrative and apply it for storytelling in an academic talk
*Deadline tomorrow!* Register for this year's International Society for Microneurography 3rd hands-on Comprehensive #Microneurography Course & Conference, 15-26 June 2026 in Prato, Italy. For more info, see: lnkd.in/duQTXZNE
A massive thank you to co-authors Solaiman Shokur, Michela Bassolino, Norbert Kang & Silvestro Micera! We had such interesting discussions and our interdisciplinary perspectives made this possible.
Thrilled to share our new paper in @thelancetneuro.bsky.social on “Hand prostheses with somatosensory feedback: functional and clinical benefits”.
We assess current #neuroprothestic options and how we can really restore the sense of self after #hand #amputation for naturalistic interactions.
Women in neuroscience are leading change every day.
This #WomensHistoryMonth, SfN honors their dedication, resilience, and the lasting impact they make on science, advocacy, and the world around us.
