We translate fMRI to study individual neurovascular function throughout the brain, brainstem, & spinal cord, with an emphasis on movement disorders.

I was nervous about the hooding part... There is minimal guidance given to uninitiated faculty! Happy to report no major mishaps 💪🥳

Today was a very good day, and a rather big milestone for me as an academic scientist. I couldn't be more proud of my first three doctoral students, who have taught me so much, and who have such bright futures ahead of them. Congratulations Drs Hemmerling, Reddy, and Zvolanek!

Huge congratulations to @kjhemm.bsky.social , now officially DOCTOR Hemmerling after a successful powerhouse of a thesis defense! Kim has taken all the stuff I know and love about imaging function and physiology of the human brain, and Made It Work in the cervical spinal cord. Brava, and thank you!

Some days, our lab's motto feels like it should be "how could we make fMRI harder?!" 😆 Then I remember that's another way of saying "how could we make fMRI more useful & interpretable?"

Here's Michelle, an excellent PhD student translating proximal (e.g. shoulder) motor tasks into chronic stroke 💪

Excited to visit University of Delaware next week - hope to see a few familiar faces and meet new potential collaborators!

Great speakers, great turnout, great signs, and a much needed outlet to unite and speak up. Thank you organizers #standupforscience2025 in Chicago.
