Computational Motor Control and Learning

We study how the brain controls movements, and how this control malfunctions when there are neurological diseases. Our focus is the cerebellum, and our principal model is the marmoset. Our tools include neurophysiology and mathematics. Our long-term goal is simple: as we better understand the computations of the normal cerebellum, we will build a neurostimulator that can produce that computation and replace the diseased cerebellum.
