Personal profile
Biography
I am an Associate Professor in the School of Psychological Sciences at Macquarie University. My current research focuses on the computational processes that underlie movement planning and sensorimotor learning. Recent topics of investigation include the influence of sensory uncertainty on motor learning; and expert motor performance and training in minimal access laparoscopic and robotic surgery. I am also interested in foundational methodological and theoretical issues in neuroscience.
