I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at MacEwan University in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am also an adjunct faculty member at the Neuroscience and Mental Health Institute at the University of Alberta. My primary research interests are the cognitive neuroscience of attention, perception, and visuomotor control. I study these topics in healthy individuals and neurological patients using a combination of behavioural testing, kinematic recording, brain imaging (MRI & fMRI), and non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS).

Motor control research assistant: Spring 2023
I have positions available for 2 students for 80 hours each to learn how to collect and statistically analyze data from participants who will complete visuomotor tasks using touch screens. These data will help us better understand how different types of visual information influence motor learning, and the degree to which we have conscious control over our actions. The students will gain hands-on experience with data collection and develop their data analysis skills. Each student will be asked to prepare a brief final report summarizing their findings.
Attention and motor control research assistant: Winter 2024
I have a position available for 1 student for 80 hours to learn how to collect and statistically analyze data from participants who will complete attention and visuomotor tasks using touch screens. These data will help us better understand the relationship between attention and visuomotor control. The student will gain hands-on experience with data collection and develop their data analysis skills. The student will be asked to prepare a brief final report summarizing their findings.
Level-up: Motor control research assistant, Phase 2 (March-April, 2023)
I have positions available for 2 students for 80 hours to learn how to collect and statistically analyze data from participants who will complete visuomotor learning tasks that require them to adapt to optically displacing prism goggles while reaching to targets. These data will help us better understand how different types of visual information influence motor learning, and how different parts of the brain are involved in visuomotor learning. The students will gain hands-on experience with data collection and develop their data analysis skills. Each student will be asked to prepare a final report summarizing their findings.
