About

A quarter of your bones are in your hands. And lots of your muscles. Large chunks of brain are devoted to receiving and sending information to the hands. When I'm not teaching, building websites or pizza ovens, then I'm thinking about hands. Specialties: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), psychophysics, functional brain imaging (fMRI), motion tracking, electromyography (EMG), programming and analysis in MATLAB, website and database programming (php, mysql, html). neurobiography.info theerrorbar.com tms-smart.info researchintouch.info
