Dr. Douglas Munoz

Biography

Douglas P. Munoz is a Professor at Queen's University, specializing in the neural control of eye movements. His research primarily focuses on using eye movement systems to investigate both brain function and dysfunction. The Munoz lab is dedicated to understanding the neural circuitry that governs saccadic eye movements and their relation to sensory-motor cognitive tasks involving various brain structures, including the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, and brainstem. The lab utilizes a combination of behavioral neurophysiology, assessments of neurological and psychiatric patient groups, and brain imaging techniques to yield insights into the intricacies of movement control and cognitive processes. Professor Munoz's work is pivotal in exploring how these neural processes develop and what implications they have for our understanding of various disorders related to eye movements.
