Neuromechanics Research Group
We are a group of researchers from engineering and neuroscience dedicated to understanding:
1. How healthy humans control their upper limb movements.
2. What goes wrong in movement disorders.
3. How to use technology to evaluate, assist, and rehabilitate people with movement disorders.

PhD Student Daniel Free goes far in 3MT competition
3MT is a popular graduate student competition in which students have 3 minutes to present their thesis using only one slide. Recently, a Phd student from our lab, Daniel Free, participated in such a competition sponsored by BYU. Daniel successfully proceeded through several levels of the competition, winning first at the department level, next at the college level, and then moving on to be 1 of only 11 students chosen to compete in the university-wide competition. To see Daniel's presentation and learn more about 3MT at BYU visit https://gradstudies.byu.edu/gss/3mt

Lab Visit: Francisco Valero-Cuevas
On February 15th, Francisco Valero-Cuevas, an accomplished professor from USC's Department of Biomedical Engineering flew in to visit our lab. During his stay, he was able to spend a significant amount of time with our graduate students providing both insight and guidance for their current research. Professor Valero-Cuevas later presented his research and methodologies to a body of BYU students and professors alike. To learn more about Francisco Valero-Cuevas, check out his lab's website: https://valerolab.org/
