研究领域

I am interested in how people perceive and retain information from the environment and use it to guide movement. In particular, I am interested in how these processes are influenced by increased age and/or neurological disease. My main interests lie in the design of diagnostic and training tools that could be used in rehabilitation programmes (such as exergames). My current work, based largely on eye-tracking studies, focuses on how anxiety (or fear of falling in older adults) can alter psychological and motor processes involved in the control of posture and gait
