Research summary

Dr. Glazebrook’s research seeks to understand how the nervous system integrates information from different senses (sight, sound, etc.) to perform precise movements. She manipulates the accuracy and availability of visual, auditory, and somatosensory information in order to develop principles for using multisensory information to improve motor skill learning and performance.
