The ultimate manifestation of behavior is through movement, and execution of goal-directed actions. In my lab we study basic questions of human motor cognition at the behavioral and system neuroscience levels. Specific lines of research include: Motor skill learning; how intentions and goals are represented in the nervous system; the interaction between voluntary actions and perception; and self/other recognition from action consequences. While most of our studies are conducted with healthy participants (using fMRI, EEG, eye-tracking, behavioral measures including virtual reality, and computational methods including machine learning), we also conduct studies in patients with various motor deficits.
