He completed undergraduate training in physical education at the University of Otago in New Zealand (1968-1970) prior to obtaining an MS degree in biomechanics and a PhD in kinesiology from the University of Washington in Seattle (1974-1981). He subsequently held faculty positions in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science and the Department of Physiology at the University of Arizona in Tucson (1981-1993) and the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (1993-1996). He is currently professor in the Department of Integrative Physiology (1996-present). He also has adjoint appointments as professor in the Department of Medicine (Geriatrics) and the Department of Neurology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Dr. Enoka is a motor unit physiologist who characterizes changes in motor function as a consequence of adjustments in the activity of motor-unit populations.

He received Ph.D. degrees in automatic control and computer science and in electronics and communications engineering from the Ecole Centrale de Nantes and Politecnico di Torino and an Honorary Doctorate degree in Medicine from Aalborg University, Denmark. He is currently Full Professor and Chair in Neurorehabilitation Engineering at the Department of Bioengineering of Imperial College London, UK. He has previously been Full Professor at Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark (until 2010) and at the University Medical Center Göttingen, Georg-August University, Germany. His research focuses on biomedical signal processing, neurorehabilitation technology, and neural control of movement. Within these areas, he has (co)-authored more than 500 papers in peer-reviewed Journals. Among other awards, he has been the recipient of the 2010 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Early Career Achievement Award and received the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award in 2016. Professor Farina has been the President of the International Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology (ISEK) (2012-2014) and is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology.

Professor of School of Health and Sport Sciences (Director of Laboratory of neuromuscular biomechanics) at Chukyo University, Toyota, Japan. He received M.S. degree from Nippon Sports Science University in 2007 and the PhD degree from Nagoya University in 2010. From 2010 to 2011, he was working at Laboratory of Applied Physiology, Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies, Kyoto University as a Postdoctoral researcher of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. In 2011, he was also working at Laboratory for Engineering of the Neuromuscular System (LISiN) of Politecnico di Torino, Italy as a visiting researcher. In 2012 he was appointed as Associate Professor of School of International Liberal Studies at Chukyo University, Japan. In 2020, he was assigned as Professor Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Chukyo University, Japan. He worked as ISEK council from 2012 to 2014 and 2016 to 2022 and takes on congress chair of ISEK2020 (Online conference). His research interest is effect of aging on neuromuscular function and its countermeasures.

Professor Pons graduated in Mechanical Engineering, Universidad de Navarra, in 1992, and obtained a MSc in Information Technologies, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, in 1994. In 1996, he earned his PhD in Physics from Universidad Complutense de Madrid. In 1999, he was awarded a position as Tenured Scientist at the Spanish National Research Council, in 2007 a position as Research Scientist at the Centre for Robotics and Automation and in 2008 a position as Full Professor at CAR. In July 2014, he was appointed Full Professor at Cajal Institute, where he led the Department of Translational Neuroscience and the laboratory for Neurorehabilitation. Dr. Pons currently serves as the Scientific Chair of the Legs & Walking AbilityLab at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. In addition to his research leadership role at SRAlab, he holds appointments as Professor at the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Feinberg School of Medicine and at the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, McCormick School of Engineering, Northwestern University.

Monica Gorassini completed an undergraduate degree in human biology at the University of Guelph (1985-1989) and a PhD in neurophysiology at the University of Alberta (1989 -1994) in Edmonton with post-doctoral studies at the University of Copenhagen (1994-1995) and University of Alberta (1996-1999) using both animal and human models of cerebellar and spinal cord injury. Dr. Gorassini joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Alberta in 1999 and is the Director of the Sensorimotor Rehabilitation Neuroscience group and committee member of the International Motoneuron Society. By integrating both animal and human studies, Dr. Gorassini examines changes in spinal motoneurons and neuronal circuits following spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and the mechanisms of motor recovery and spasticity reduction in response to rehabilitative and sensory stimulation interventions.
