My university is offering scholarships for PhD students to visit Nantes (France) for 3 to 6 months. If you are interested in joining my lab to work on the neural control of the hand during artistic activities and translating these insights into robotic control please do not hesitate to get in touch!
🚨📜+🧵🚨 Very excited about this work showing that people with no hand function following a spinal cord injury can control the activity of motor units from those muscles to perform 1D, 2D and 3D tasks, play video games, or navigate a virtual wheelchair
By a wonderful team co-mentored w Dario Farina
Reminder that this job is open! If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch. Deadline is February 20th.
If your New Year’s resolution is to find a fantastic 3-year post doc position in a great city with a small, friendly lab group and national collaborators… you’re in luck!!!
