Dr. Amlang is an assistant professor in the Department of Neurology at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University. He is a movement disorders specialist with a particular focus on functional movement disorder. His research focus is to better understand the causes of functional movement disorder and functional neurologic disorder. What are the…
Vikranth Bejjanki’s research is concerned with examining the neural and computational mechanisms that allow humans to learn from their experiences. He uses a range of methods, including psychophysics, computational modeling, and functional neuroimaging, to study learning at multiple levels of analysis. His published work can be found in…
We study how the human visual system processes visual information to allow successful interactions with the environment. Our approach is to combine computational methods and behavioral studies to understand what are the visual features that establish the mapping between vision and action. Contrary to the commonly held assumption that perception…
Rich Ivry is a Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley. He r directs the Cognition and Action lab, using various tools of cognitive neuroscience to explore human performance in healthy and neurologically impaired populations. He has a long-standing interest in the cerebellum,…
My favorite part of the brain is the cerebellum, but, at the end of the day, I'm broadly interested in the relationship between the brain and behavior. How do we do stuff, and what does it take to get better at doing it? Can we leverage our understanding of the brain to better understand movement and action, and vice versa? In my lab, my…
Dr. Kuo is a Movement Disorders specialist caring for patients with cerebellar ataxia, including spinocerebellar ataxia and multiple system atrophy, and a variety of other movement disorders, such as essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease. As a physician-scientist, his research is funded by National Institutes of Health to study the role of…
I’m a Professor of Music and Director of the Music Cognition Lab at Princeton. I’m interested in a range of topics at the intersection of music and cognitive science, and especially enjoy being a part of interdisciplinary collaborations.
Sam runs the Action, Computation, and Thinking (ACT) Lab at Yale University’s Department of Psychology. The lab investigates the psychological and neural principles relating motor behavior to cognition. Sam earned his PhD in Neuroscience and Psychology from Princeton University in 2018. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship at UC Berkeley,…
I study how the brain coordinates auditory and motor signals to achieve communicative goals during speech production. My research combines neuroimaging and acoustic measures to characterize speech feedback processing, with the ultimate aim of facilitating communication via speech motor learning.
Speech production is perhaps the most complicated motor activity humans produce, requiring control of a complex neuromuscular system to produce movements that achieve millimeter-level precision and that are coordinated with millisecond-level accuracy. Moreover, these movements are not produced just to reach some target position in space at a…
I am an assistant professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University. I have a background in theoretical mathematics (B.A. from Northwestern University), physical rehabilitation (D.P.T. from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine), and cognitive neuroscience (Ph.D. from UC Berkeley). If you can't find me in the lab, I am…
Tianhe Wang is a PhD candidate at the University of California, Berkeley. Wang's research focuses on: (1) uncovering the computational principles that govern motor control and flexible learning behaviors in humans; and (2) investigating the cerebellum's role in motor and cognitive functions.
