Bio/Research

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.

My work is supported by funding from NSERC, Canada Foundation for Innovation, Ministry for Research and Innovation, Ontario, SSHRC and other sources. Further details of this work can be found at my lab’s website http://sensorimotor.mcmaster.ca
