Présentation

The overarching research goal of my early career is to understand how the nervous system coordinates its effectors, specifically the motor units, to produce movements in both health and disease. To achieve this, I employ experimental paradigms involving the tracking of the spiking activity of large samples of motor units during controlled and natural tasks. I also use Brain-Computer Interface-based tasks where participants attempt to control the spiking activity of their motor units in real-time. On the application side, I am exploring new ways for patients to interface with external devices and virtual environments using the residual activity of their motor units.
