Motor Behavior Lab
Current research questions focus on initiating, controlling and terminating motor actions.
Explaining force control and bimanual coupled movements advances our understanding on stroke motor recovery. Chronic stroke rehabilitation protocols based on motor control theory are typically the most effective human studies. Moreover, conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis is a preferred approach for determining necessary and sufficient causal variables involved in executing motor actions.
