AR3T
9th Annual International Symposium on Regenerative Rehabilitation
Join us for the 9th Annual International Symposium on Regenerative Rehabilitation, to be held October 27-29 in Austin, TX! Now in its 9th year, this symposium is the largest medical and scientific conference specific to Regenerative Rehabilitation in the world and brings together renowned experts in the fields of regenerative medicine and rehabilitation.
This year’s featured speakers include, Theresa A. Jones, PhD (University of Texas at Austin), Karunesh Ganguly, MD, PhD (University of California, San Francisco), Conor Walsh, PhD (Harvard University), William R. Wagner, PhD (University of Pittsburgh), and José del R. Millán, PhD (University of Texas at Austin).
Join us in discovering integrated methods to enhance tissue healing and regeneration through mechanotransduction and applied biophysics, as well as how these approaches relate to the application of clinically available rehabilitation approaches. Cutting-Edge Research, Trainee Opportunities, Travel Awards, Diversity Grants, Networking and More!

C-STAR
20 C-STAR Webinars Available for Free Viewing
Our highly collaborative scientists and clinicians will share their knowledge, experience and technical and clinical know-how with you to provide training and enhance expertise across the field of rehabilitation research and practice. You will find 19 webinars available in the Academy library. The following webinar has just been released:
Biofeedback rehabilitation and habilitation based on brain control principle.
This webinar is led by Dr. Shingo Shimoda who is a Unit Leader in Intelligent Behavior Control Lab at RIKEN Center for Brain Science TOYOTA collaboration Center. He received Ph.D. in Space Robotics from the University of Tokyo, Japan, in 2005 and was a visiting student with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 2003 to 2004. He is a principal chair of Technical Committee on Cognitive Robotics in IEEE Robotics and Automation Society and Steering committee member of IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental.
Motor control by the brain is created by a combination of voluntary motor intentions and behavior adaptation based on interactions with the environment. During the growth process, humans learn a variety of internal models for motion controls, which are voluntarily driven while fine-tuning through body-environment interactions. Motion paralysis after learning these internal models due to diseases such as stroke may happen when the motion intention cannot drive the internal model even though the internal model is survived. In this case, a rehabilitation that connects the motion intention with the internal model is necessary. On the other hand, when an innate problem causes motor paralysis, learning the internal model may be a problem. In such cases, a different training approach is necessary to learn the proper internal model, which can be called "habilitation". In this talk, Dr. Shimoda discusses the optimal biofeedback training method for each approach from the viewpoint of information processing in the brain.

NC NM4R
2021-2022 Speaker Series
The 8th speaker in the NC NM4R Speaker Series, taking place this Wednesday, August 3, 2022 at 12 PM EDT, Dr. Mike Urbin will be presenting his talk, "Targeting a Mechanism of Dysfunction in the Spinal Cord to Address Motor Deficits after Stroke"
Register for the NC NM4R Speaker Series here.
This series will explore diverse neuromodulation methods with a focus on rehabilitation. Researchers and clinicians of all career stages (including students and fellows), who are interested in neuromodulation and novel rehabilitation techniques, are invited. At each meeting, a speaker will present a topic, study, or grant proposal relating to the improvement of rehabilitation techniques through the use of neuromodulation. The attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, exchange ideas and opinions, and develop informal discussions. This monthly meeting aims to present innovative ideas and cutting-edge methods for clinicians and researchers.

Virtual Office Hours
Restore
Apply to Participate in Virtual Office Hours for Biomechanical Modeling or Machine Learning Research Questions
Application Deadline: August 5, 2022, 5 PM local time
Office Hour Dates: September 12-16, 2022
We are pleased to announce the Restore Center will be holding Virtual Office Hours on September 12-16, 2022, to support researchers working with wearable sensors, video technology, and other modalities in rehabilitation research. We will have two tracks: 1) Biomechanical modeling with OpenSim and IMUs or video, and 2) Machine learning, including video analysis. All phases of a research project are supported, such as formulating a research question, choosing and planning appropriate methods, and addressing issues with carrying out the study. We welcome and encourage individuals to apply as a team, if relevant. Learn more and apply
