Postdoctoral researcher Room 342, Building F2 |
I am interested in how humans use their senses for motor behavior. My research focuses on the use of eye and head movements during visually guided tasks, and the interplay of tactile perception with human movement. I primarily combine eye and body motion tracking with psychophysics in younger and older humans.
