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!

Non‐homogeneous distribution of inhibitory inputs among motor units in response to nociceptive stimulation at moderate contraction intensity
Abstract figure legend We combined experimental data and in silico models to investigate the contribution of inhibitory and neuromodulatory inputs to motor unit behaviour in response to nociceptive s....

Flexible control of motor units: is the multidimensionality of motor unit manifolds a sufficient condition?
Abstract figure legend We recorded large populations of motor units from the vastus lateralis (VL) and gastrocnemius medialis (GM). Using a linear dimensionality reduction approach, we observed that ....
