Research spans a diverse portfolio and includes understanding the fundamental neural and behavioural mechanisms of motor control, learning and development; elucidating sensorimotor deficits in neurodevelopmental disorders; and promoting motor recovery in various neurological conditions. To study this, we use a wide range of experimental techniques in both human and animal models, including electromyography (EMG), motion analysis (kinematics), brain stimulation (TMS and tDCS) and peripheral nerve stimulation, coupled with advanced data analysis and modelling methods. Our long-term goal is to decipher the underpinnings of movement dysfunction, and to develop new approaches for restoration of (sensory-)motor function, in particular locomotion, reaching & grasping and motor coordination, in a variety of clinical populations (e.g. individuals with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury)” (the addition is the words ‘reaching and grasping).
