DESCRIPTION:Presenting on "spinal cord neuromodulation for rehabilitation a
 nd studies in motor control"\n\n\nIsmael Seáñez\, Assistant Professor of Bi
 omedical Engineering and Neurosurgery\, will present at 11:15 a.m. on Monda
 y\, May 2\, 2022 in Whitaker 100.\n\n\nAbstract: ISpinal cord injury (SCI) 
 is a life-altering event that leads to long-lasting motor impairment\, and 
 currently\, there is no cure for paralysis. In this talk\, I introduce body
 -machine interfaces that serve as assistive and rehabilitative devices that
  promote the use of motor and sensory functions that survived the injury. I
  then discuss spinal cord stimulation to re-enable voluntary control of par
 alyzed muscles and weight-bearing  locomotion in participants with chronic 
 SCI. Finally\, I provide an overview of new research directions in the Seáñ
 ez Lab towards increasing our understanding of the neural mechanisms mediat
 ing SCS-enabled recovery and improving access to these neurorehabilitation 
 technologies.
