We study how human motor systems function in health and disease using electrophysiological and computational approaches.

Our work focuses on neuromuscular conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson’s disease, with the goal of developing objective measures of nerve and muscle function that can be used in both research and clinical settings.

We combine:

• human electrophysiology (nerve excitability, EMG, motor unit analysis)

• computational modelling of neural systems

• clinical collaborations and multi-site studies

What we do

• Develop and apply electrodiagnostic methods to assess nerve and muscle health

• Study mechanisms of neuromuscular degeneration and adaptation

• Contribute to clinical trials through physiological outcome measures

• Train students in experimental and computational neurophysiology

Who we work with

Our research involves collaboration with:

• patients and clinical partners

• national and international research networks

• students across kinesiology, neuroscience, engineering, and medicine
