Hi everyone! I have new publication in eNeuro where we determined that reinforcement learning can be used during human locomotion.   Thanks to my co-authors @HyosubKim and Susanne M. Morton   #neuroskyencewww.eneuro.org/content/earl...

Reinforcement learning during locomotion

When learning a new motor skill, people often must use trial and error to discover which movement is best. In the reinforcement learning framework, this concept is known as exploration and has been li...

Which specific motor learning processes are impaired post-stroke? Check out our new preprint!   #neurorehabilitation#neuroscience#compneurowww.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Explicit and implicit locomotor learning in individuals with chronic hemiparetic stroke

bioRxiv - the preprint server for biology, operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a research and educational institution

The method, a 2AFC task, uses a Bayesian adaptive algorithm to improve efficiency, and achieved reliable lower limb position sense estimates in 50 trials! It should serve as a useful tool for gait and balance researchers who need to estimate static lower limb position sense.

Earlier this year, myself Hyosub Kim and Susanne Morton published a paper that tested the reliability of a novel method to assess static lower limb position sense while standing on a split-belt treadmill. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A reliable and efficient adaptive Bayesian method to assess static lower limb position sense

Lower limb proprioception is critical for maintaining stability during gait and may impact how individuals modify their movements in response to chang…

I am a physical therapist and postdoctoral research fellow. I am interested in motor learning and motor control in neurologic diseases like Parkinson's. I look forward to sharing my work!

Hello all! I enjoy playing sports (soccer, golf, and tennis) and I like fantasy/sci-fi stories like harry potter star wards, and lord of the rings.
