The Human Movement Neuroscience (HuMoN) research lab seeks to understand the neural
bases of natural human behavior in real-world environments, with a focus on the information
gathering (visual) processes that support full-body ballistic movements (e.g. walking,
running, jumping, etc).
We advance the boundaries of the scientific frontier by developing
novel research methods based on emerging technologies to derive research-grade measurements
of human activities that were previously beyond the grasp of scientific analysis, both in
unconstrained natural environments as well as controlled laboratory settings.
Our research seeks to build methodological and theoretical bridges between otherwise disparate fields of
inquiry that relate to natural human behavior (e.g. musculoskeletal biomechanics and visual
neuroscience) in order to develop a more complete, holistic scientific understanding of
natural human behavior.
