Research Interests:
In order to accurately reach for an object, one must transform a sensory signal into a complex pattern of muscle activity. The control processes employed by the brain which underlie this seemingly straightforward task are not as yet completely understood. The overall objective of my research program is to understand the cortical control signals used to coordinate the different levels of motor output (e.g. forces, spatial trajectories, hand velocity, etc.) required for these voluntary multi-joint limb movements. These studies will focus on the central representation of different aspects of movement and force generation in the control of arm reaching movements.
