I am very thrilled to share that I have been awarded an #ERCStG. In this project, we will establish a direct sensorimotor connection with the spared neural code of movement to regain motor function. We will develop novel sensing and feedback methods with cellular resolution.
🎉 The latest ERC Starting Grant competition results are out! 400 bright minds have been awarded over €628 million to fund ideas at the frontiers of science & scholarship. Find out who, where and why 👉 https://t.co/87lIvocJwj 🇪🇺 #EUfunded #FrontierResearch #ERCStG @HorizonEU

New preprint! We used the motor units that once controlled the paralyzed foot for closed-loop FES stimulation in individuals with foot paralysis after SCI. The participants found this to be an effective and intuitive way to restore foot movement. https://t.co/npriK76V1g

Che partita ! Da tifoso napoletano, ieri sera ho tifato Inter a squarciagola. Bravissimi
Marotta: "E' stata una partita epica tra due grandi squadre. Merito di allenatore, giocatori e di questo splendido pubblico. Il pubblico ci ha sostenuto proprio fisicamente. Simone Inzaghi è il centro di questo modello, supportato dalla società e dalla nuova proprietà. E' la

Il suo ultimo messaggio, nella benedizione Urbi et Orbi, sembra un appello che giunge dall’alto: “Nessuna pace è possibile senza un vero disarmo”. Sono le sue ultime parole pubbliche. E senza risparmiarsi, pur avendo solo un filo di energia da spendere, è sceso tra la folla.

Solo a Napoli 😂💙

More and more evidence is suggesting that muscle synergies are (almost) nonexistent in the human hand. Instead, we find extremely fine and subtle motoneuron synergies, our new paper is now out!

Excited to share our latest work in Science Advances! We present an open-source method to interface spared muscle activity in people with neural lesions. Check it out:
science.org
AI-powered EMG decoding with MyoGestic enables intuitive real-time control of spared movements for users with neural lesions.
MyoGestic is officially published in #ScienceAdvances! To celebrate we updated the repository ( https://t.co/LsdwLORKgI) with better documentation and API. We're committed to making MyoGestic the cummunity's go-to framework and welcome your feedback! https://t.co/X644IafaDz

We found that despite functional paralysis, numerous motor units continue to exhibit activity akin to those in healthy muscles. This suggests a significant degree of preserved synaptic input, highlighting potential pathways for neuromuscular recovery.

Our new paper is now available on @JNeurophysiol, and I am very pleased that we have been acknowledged by @APSPhysiology for distinction in scholarship https://t.co/nAzznLWw4Y…

The only way to achieve AGI is to let AI derive its own ground truth data. This can only be accomplished through sensorimotor loops, e.g., robots equipped with numerous sensors, motors, and advanced AI. LLMs are fantastic but still very far from AGI.
