We investigate basic biomechanical, physiological and psychological mechanisms of human motor control and spatial orientation. Practical applications of interest include development of motor control and posture across the lifespan, assessment and rehabilitation of movement disorders, disorders of movement in autism, prevention of falls in aging, vestibular loss and other clinical conditions, and predicting and circumventing degradation of perception and performance in unusual force environments including space flight, artificial gravity, aerobatic flight, autonomous vehicles, and virtual environments.
