Enjoyed my first times in Chicago and @usasp.bsky.social this past week! So much exciting work happening in the pain field, I have a feeling that the groundwork for some fantastic collaborations was laid this week!

So excited to announce the first of TACTORUM’s ARM devices for automating pain/touch assays in mice has been delivered to @changsbrain.bsky.social ‘s lab at @northwellhealth.bsky.social. Looking forward to all the exciting questions they will explore with it!

This led me to invent a device called the ARM (Automated Reproducible Mechanostimulator) to automate stimulus delivery and perform these experiments remotely!

New app and so many new followers, so I’ll do a quick skydive on my work over the years using automation and high speed imaging to improve the techniques we use to measure pain in rodents! #PainResearch #Neuroscience
