“The research group wants to incorporate what scientists know about how humans learn and control movement,” said Wilsaan Joiner, PhD, a neuroscientist and professor in the Department of Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior in the university’s College of Biological Sciences.
“If you’re not utilizing what is a natural ability or natural infrastructure of our motor system to control an external device, it’s probably going to be incredibly difficult and nonintuitive to learn how to do,” Joiner said.
