I study the organization of human action. The goal of my research is to develop a comprehensive science of embodied cognition through the study of movement. My research brings together Cognitive, Neurophysiological and Dynamical systems approaches in the study of action.

I am interested in all aspects of Perception-Action systems, but especially in three programs of research: (1) Posture and Balance (2) Voluntary goal directed actions and (3) Timing in repetitive and rhythmic movements. My research borrows from principles of complex systems, where the behaviour of a system of many components is significantly different, yet simpler than the behaviour of the components themselves.
