Research Interests

The goal of our work is to understand how the mammalian nervous system controls muscles to produce coordinated movements. We use various approaches in this work, including computer modeling, recording, and stimulation of motor units, muscle, and motor cortex. We use humans, non-human primates, and rodents as experimental subjects. Our experiments address a range of topics from those related to how individual motor neurons integrate synaptic information to those associated with the development of new methods to restore movement and sensation in paralyzed individuals.
