The kick-off workshop of the IMS-Summer Research Institute will demonstrate markerless motion capture. Workshop 1 will be led by Dr. Nidhi Seethapathi postdoctoral researcher at Penn, Dr. McNitt-Gray a professor of Biological Sciences and Biomedical Engineering at USC, Dr. Kelli Sharp an Assistant Professor in the Department of Dance at UCI, and Harper Stewart a…

Workshop 2 of the IMS-SRI led by Dr. Simon Sponberg, Dunn Family Associate Professor of Physics and Biological Sciences at Georgia Tech. This workshop will be a live-stream demonstration of a Manduca moth in-situ preparation.

IMS-SRI Workshop 3 will demonstrate muscle physiology using isolated muscle preparations: Classic techniques for measuring muscle properties (isometric force length, isotonic force velocity, work loops), their limitations, and new techniques based on model-based real time control or dynamic strain trajectories. This workshop is led by Elizabeth Mendoza PhD student at UCI, Dr. Kiisa Nishikawa Regents'…

Workshop 4 will focus on materials-based models of muscle mechanical function. This workshop is led by Associate Professor of mechanical engineering & materials science at Yale University, Dr. Madhusudhan Venkadesan and Regents' Professor at Northern Arizona University, Dr. Kiisa Nishikawa.

Workshop 5 will focus on the neurophysiology of sensorimotor control of muscles in movement. Led by Associate Professor, ecology & evolutionary biology at UC, Irvine Dr. Monica Daley, Assistant Professor…

Workshop 6 focuses on model based analyses of locomotion,  and how model-based approaches can provide insights into the principles governing human and animal locomotion Led by Dr Christopher Arellano,  Assistant…

Workshop 7 will demonstrate leveraging OpenSim for human body modeling, predictive movement, and sensitivity investigations. Led by Rowlinson associate professor of mechanical engineering at the Colorado School of Mines Dr.…

Workshop 8 will demonstrate X-ray diffraction method for measuring nano-scale sarcomere structure and links to organismal function. Led by Dunn Family Associate Professor of Physics and Biological Sciences at Georgia…

Workshop 9 will occur asynchronously and feature an x-ray analysis demonstration video created by Dr. Simon Sponberg, Dunn Family Associate Professor of Physics and Biological Sciences at Georgia Tech.

The Center for Integrative Movement Sciences is co-sponsoring a symposium with the UCI Center for Healthspan Sciences on The Role of Fascia in Human Health. We invite you to join…
