Human Performance Lab

Sensorimotor control, biomechanics, sports science & medicine

About

Human performance encompasses physiology, the nervous system, cognition, sensorimotor control, and the musculoskeletal system. The field is broad and interdisciplinary, integrating sports medicine, physiology, neuroscience, cognitive science, engineering, design, athletic training, rehabilitation science, and even business and marketing. The Human Performance Lab combines these disciplines to understand, maintain, restore, and enhance human performance. By fostering collaboration across these fields, the lab aims to push the boundaries of what is possible in human performance and neuromechanics.
