Research Focus
-
Understanding the process of learning (or re-learning) perceptual-motor skills
-
Investigating the control mechanisms for functional movements
-
Evaluating the effectiveness of training methods for teaching, coaching or rehabilitation
-
We also share lab space with Biomechanics Laboratory, in Room 160 in the same building,
where we have access to the Vicon cameras and software for 3D motion capture purpose.

Description
We are located in Room 211A within the Corbett Building on the UW campus. The laboratory
includes a curtained data collection area and an office area. We are using perception-action
approach to study human perceptual-motor learning, control and development. The major
pieces of laboratory equipment include the following:
Two Fastec Imaging SportsCam High Speed Cameras for 2D motion capture purpose
Two GoPro Hero 4 Black Ultra HD cameras, allowing high-definition motion capture
Ascension 3D Guidance TrakSTAR magnetic motion tracking system
Wacom Intuos3 Pen Tablet with Neuroscript MovAlyeR 6.0 for tapping handwriting movement
analysis
Delsys Myomonitor EMG system with 8-channel capability
Custom-made adjustable target throwing board
