At our last meeting @jandrushko.bsky.social & Jason DeFreitas introduced the physiology & physics of #EMG & how to get optimal signals. They stressed the importance of: * setting up a low-noise lab * consistent electrode placement * digital filtering * amplitude normalisation A really useful talk!

Next up from our group at @northumbriauni.bsky.social is Dr Luca Angius givin a talk titled Non-invasive brain stimulation: Implications for exercise science research and application for physical and mental health at @ecssofficial.bsky.social in Rimini, Italy 🇮🇹

Our department head from @northumbriauni.bsky.social gave a fantastic presentation at @ecssofficial.bsky.social

Second up from our group from @northumbriauni.bsky.social is @padraig-spillane.bsky.social presenting his work titled Contraction intensity-specific fluctuations in motor unit behaviour across the menstrual cycle at @ecssofficial.bsky.social in Rimini, Italy 🇮🇹

First up from our group at @northumbriauni.bsky.social is Elisa Pastorio discussing Sex differences in durability during cycling exercise at @ecssofficial.bsky.social in Rimini, Italy 🇮🇹

Congratulations to Northumbria's Professor Glyn Howatson, who has been appointed as Deputy Chair of sub-panel 24 (Sport and Exercise Sciences, Leisure and Tourism) for the 2029 Research Excellence Framework (REF) assessment. www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/new...

Had a great time at the Women's Nutrition and Physiology symposium at @ljmuofficial.bsky.social today. Some fascinating talks and discussions througout the day. I also enjoyed presenting a poster of some data from my first PhD study on neurophysiology across the menstrual cycle

Yesterday I had the pleasure to speak with several people living with knee osteoarthritis over at the @healthworks.bsky.social charity in Newcastle upon Tyne. This was an incredible discussion that is going to directly impact my future research in this area. #AcademicSky #AcademicSkyUK

🚨Publication Alert🚨 This was a really challenging study and despite the end result being low n with mostly null findings, we still saw value in getting this out there! Congratulations to JC Carr for leading this effort! doi.org/10.14814/phy... #AcademicSky #AcademicSkyUK

Poster presentation as part of @tmsmultilab.bsky.social's TMS@40 event. A great consortium working to advance the field of TMS research in Birmingham 🇬🇧.
