My 5 year-old daughter just said that she agrees that all my daddy friends' names start with 'un-cool'. Un-cool Carl, Un-cool Den etc

Let’s celebrate our early-career researchers. Today, we will introduce you to @Yr_Russo, a postdoc @UniofExeter who focuses his work on the neuromechanical investigation of the transient phases of gait in normal and neurological populations. Check more: researchgate.net/profile/Yuri-R…

Through an @The_MRC CiC project, we made VR-based Ax of sensory integration during balance (inc. sway referencing & eye tracking). Software by @CineonTraining & hardware by @RedChilliPhoto. Loads of neat functions. Updates to follow @Yr_Russo @ExeterBRC youtube.com/watch?v=9kAfbS…
