ONGOING PROJECTS

• Supraspinal control of human locomotion and interlimb symmetry between legs.
• Motor learning, especially mechanisms of adaptation, use-dependent plasticity and retention of learned movements.
• Understanding how motor control and motor learning are impaired following stroke
• Non-invasive brain stimulation, including TMS and tDCS, to measure and modulate brain excitability in the healthy and stroke-affected brain.
