Dr. Paul Gribble

Biography

Paul L. Gribble is a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at Western University. He holds a Ph.D. and M.Sc. from McGill University, and a B.Sc. from Queen's University. His research interests focus on understanding the neural, sensory, and cognitive mechanisms underlying motor learning, utilizing human behavioral studies and computational models of motor behavior. Current research projects involve the effects of motor learning on sensory systems, the observation of motor learning, interference from contextual cues when learning multiple motor skills, neural control of limb stiffness, and computational models of neuromuscular control. He has published extensively on topics related to motor learning, including work on the central nervous system's minimization of energy costs in arm movements, and the role of somatosensory plasticity in motor learning.
