Welcome to the new twitter feed for the Chestek Lab at the University of Michigan!

New #pneurolab publication: Intraneural #vagus nerve recordings with #carbonfiber array. Led by U-M BME #PhD alum Ahmad Jiman, a big collab with Cynthia Chestek & cryptocecco.eth. NIBIB #NIH_SPARC & U.S. National Science Foundation funded. UM Biointerfaces nature.com/articles/s4159…

Low-recording yield got you down? Check out great work by U-M BME student Elissa Welle, PhD on optimizing recording yield from #carbonfiber arrays. doi.org/10.1088/1741-2…

Excited to announce our work on artificial hand control by amputees through the use of regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces #RPNI Michigan Surgery U-M BME. stm.sciencemag.org/content/12/533…

Also, don’t miss our recently published review paper on the future of upper limb robotic rehabilitation Michigan Surgery U-M BME. doi.org/10.1002/mus.26…

New publication: Spiking-band power correlates highly with local unit activity and improves #BrainMachineInterface (#BMI) performance. Led by U-M BME student @Sam_R_Nason in collab with Krishna Shenoy and Blaauw groups. doi.org/10.1038/s41551…

Hot off the presses, #carbonfiber arrays for #electrophysiology or #dopamine sensing through #FSCV. Devices can also be precisely localized within the tissue. Massive team effort by BerkeLab Dr. Jill Becker Dawen Cai. doi.org/10.1088/1741-2…

Congratulations to Cynthia Chestek and collaborator Paul Cederna Michigan Surgery for receiving the Frankel Innovation Initiative grant for their project on Peripheral Nerve Interfaces for Prosthetic Hand Control research.medicine.umich.edu/announcements/…

“As soon as I spent the summer recording signals from live neurons, I knew I wanted to do that for the rest of my life,” says Cynthia Chestek (Cynthia Chestek). Read more: bit.ly/33DtKJo

Sharp, like Bernie's fashion sense. Robust, like Amanda Gorman's lyricism. Interfacing, like neural electrodes do. Read my new paper from Cynthia Chestek, 'Sharpened and mechanically robust carbon fiber electrode arrays for neural interfacing': tinyurl.com/sharprobustcar…
