#We use our hands and arms countless times every day – skillfully, yet effortlessly. By using the upper limbs as a model #system and combining behavioral, perceptual, and cognitive tasks I have been able to uncover how the senses influence motor #control in both healthy participants and special populations (see my work on #autism, multiple #sclerosis, head #trauma, and Parkinson’s #Disease).
#Moreover, by bringing a chemical senses perspective to study actions, I was among the first to characterize how smell #influence our movements (see the first paper on odor-motor #interactions #and flavor).
#Recently, I analyzed movements in utero, to find pre-birth markers (such as #handedness), offering a promising strategy #for translational applications.
