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.

PhD / MSc positions

We are not accepting new graduate students for this cycle. That said, we're always happy to hear from exceptional candidates. Feel free to reach out to diedrichsenlab@gmail.com and introduce yourself.

Funding

Work in the laboratory is supported by CIHR, NSERC, BrainsCAN, Western University, and the Raynor Cerebellar Project.
