Research Interests
My lab is interested in how the brain controls movement. To address this question, we utilize both behavioural and neurophysiological techniques, examining the oculomotor system which rapidly changes our line of sight. The ultimate goal of this research is to gain a better understanding of the sensorimotor transformations underlying natural movements.
