The overarching goal of our research is to provide a better understanding of how the brain supports perception, action and attention and how these processes interact. Importantly we also investigate how these abilities are affected by aging and brain disease (stroke, neurodegenerative disorders).

 

Ultimately, our work aims to improve clinical practice in brain disease through the application of cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience models and methods [e.g., lesion-symptom mapping, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS); motion-tracking] to identify sensitive biomarkers of neurological recovery and test the efficacy of neurorehabilitation methods targeting cognitive deficits.
