Biography

Nicole Wenderoth is a Full Professor at the Department of Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zurich. Her research focuses on neural mechanisms underlying motor control and movement execution in humans. She has a strong interest in the interplay between sensory information and motor planning, assessing how the brain integrates different sensory modalities to execute smooth and coordinated movements. In her lab, she employs advanced neurophysiological techniques, including non-invasive brain stimulation and neuroimaging, to explore how neural structures support motor learning, coordination, and adaptive control. Her work contributes to a deeper understanding of neural pathways involved in motor dysfunction, creating a foundation for potential therapeutic strategies in clinical populations.
