James Coxon is a neuroscientist interested in human movement and cognition, based at the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. He received his undergraduate training in Exercise Science from the University of Auckland in New Zealand and was awarded a PhD in Human Movement Neuroscience in 2007, supervised by Professor Winston Byblow and Professor Cathy Stinear. Between 2008 and 2012, he worked with Emeritus Professor Stephan Swinnen and Professor Nicole Wenderoth at the Faculty of Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences at KU Leuven, Belgium.
