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.
