  • Use of Multisensory Information During Goal-Directed Movements (Luc Tremblay)
           This study investigates the use of afferent information during movement execution. One series    of experiments include real-time movement-dependent sensory feedback manipulations (i.e.,    visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive). Another series of experiments aims to assess the    influence of robot guidance of feedback use. Both series of studies aim to build fundamental    motor control theories as well as techniques for teaching, coaching, and rehabilitation.
