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, seeking to understand the role of this subcortical structure in skilled movement, timing, and, through its interactions with the cerebral cortex, cognition. Rich spends a lot of time outdoors hiking and biking in the San Francisco Bay area or surfing in the chilly Pacific Ocean.
