Movement is our only way of interacting with the world–whether learning to play the guitar, manipulating objects while cooking dinner, or having a conversation with friends and family–all of these rely on the contractions of our muscles. The importance of being able to generate skilled actions in everyday life becomes all to clear in individuals living with a neurological disease or those who have suffered a stroke. Thus, understanding how skilled actions are planned, controlled, and learned remains one of the most important and exciting challenges facing modern neuroscience. This talk will present an overview of the research conducted in the Action, Cognition, and Metascience Lab at McMaster University, including what we’ve done, what we’re currently doing, and what we hope to do.
