| The
Motor Behavior Laboratory is equiped with an infrared 3D Motion analysis
system with integrated EMG capability. The lab is housed in a 40'
x 40' space which allows for data collection during the performance
of most any motor activity. Computer assisted work stations allow
for analysis of collected data.
Generally, the research goal of the laboratory is to understand
the processes involved in the control and coordination of skilled
movement. Our current projects involve the investigation of motor
pattern change as a result of development and practice. Our approach
is based on a dynamical systems perspective.
