We are computational neuroscientists studying sensorimotor
control: how the brain transforms sensory information into
goal-directed actions. We believe this provides a unique
window into the inner workings of the brain. Current studies
include the following:
- Visuomotor transformations and multi-sensory integration
for arm and eye and whole-body movements
- Understanding pupil dynamics in structured and
unstructured tasks
- Saccade-smooth pursuit interactions
- Explainable NeuroAI in artificial and spiking neural
networks of motor control
- Neuro-robotic performance: bridging neuroscience, machine
learning, robotics and performance arts
What distinguishes our lab is a commitment to breadth and depth
in equal measure. We work across disciplines, from neuroscience
to robotics, AI, and the fine arts. We bridge levels of
abstraction, connecting normative theories with neuro-AI
approaches and biophysical neural networks. And we invest in
people: through innovative mentorship, enriching collaborations,
welcoming environments, and the lasting relationships that make
research worthwhile.

We are part of the
Department
of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences (
Faculty of Health Science)
and the
Faculty of Arts
& Science and hosted within the
Centre for Neuroscience
Studies and the
Ingenuity Labs
Research Institute at
Queen's
University. I am cross-appointed to the
School of Computing, the
Department
of Psychology as well as to the
Department of Mathematics
and Statistics. We are also part of the
Connected
Minds CFREF program.
