The Cognitive Motor Control Laboratory investigates the neurophysiological foundations of skilled upper extremity function to advance clinical practice and public health outcomes. Utilizing cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques, the lab identifies anatomical and physiological circuits that enable effective human-object interactions, providing the scientific basis for rehabilitation strategies. The clinical research focuses on stroke and upper limb amputation, examining how neural injury disrupts motor control and identifying surrogate circuits that can be harnessed for restorative therapies. By translating findings into evidence-based interventions, the lab aims to inform healthcare policy and rehabilitation guidelines, improving access, equity, and quality of care. The work emphasizes health equity and cost-effectiveness, ensuring that innovative motor recovery approaches are scalable and sustainable for diverse populations in healthcare systems.
