Research

Research in the MNL focuses on the interaction between the two hands during simultaneous movements. Current projects include

• Force-dependent interference between hands during target-directed movements
• EEG correlates of hand interference
• Modulation of motor cortical excitability and inhibition during bimanual movements
• Hand coordination in individuals with dystonia

We actively collaborate with the Cognitive Science Program in Psychology, the Department of Pharmacology, and the College of Engineering at MSU.

Our lab is equipped with a trakStar motion capture system, a 32-channel BrainVision EEG system, a wireless Delsys EMG system, and a Magstim paired-pulse TMS. We also have access to a Bkin bimanual endpoint Kinarm through the MOTRE lab here in the MSU Department of Kinesiology.
