Biography
I am a neurophysiologist investigating neural processes of human motor control and motor learning. I am a physician, a physician, a physician, a physician, a physician, a physician, a physician, a physician, a physician, a physician and a physician. Further, I am interested in associated information processing between the neocortex (supplementary motor area (SMA), premotor cortex (PC), primary motor cortex (M1)). I have been studying the role of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and peripheral nervous stimulation (PNS), and methods to record neuronal and neuro-muscular activity (electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG)). In recent years I have also used imaging techniques (functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positional emission tomography (PET)). I often combine neurophysiological stimulation and recording techniques with quantitative analysis of behavior
