In the Diedrichsen lab, we study the human motor system and the human cerebellum. How does the brain produce coordinated movements? How are new movement skills learned? What is the function of the human cerebellum and how does it contribute to motor control and cognition?
Experimentally, we focus on behavioral and functional magnetic resonance imaging studies in humans. We are part of Western's Sensorymotor superlab (a collaboration with the Pruszynski, and Gribble labs) and also employ electrophysiological and neurostimulation approaches to investigate the brain.
An important part of the lab is the development of novel statistical and machine learning methods for the analysis of brain imaging and electrophysiological data. We develop tools for cerebellar imaging data and for multivariate analysis. We are part of the Computational Brain Science Group.
Activities and links
Open Postdoc positions
We are recruiting a new postdoc in cerebellar imaging. See the ad for details.
PhD / MSc positions
We will start accepting applications for MSc / PhD students who want to join the lab in Fall 2024 this forthcoming November.
Funding
Work in the laboratory is supported by CIHR, NSERC, BrainsCAN, Western University, and Raynor Cerebellar Initiatives.
