Dr. Woods is Assistant Director of the Center for Cognitive Aging and Memory (CAM) and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology. He is also the Director of the Neurophysiology and Neuromodulation Research Core in the CAM. Dr. Woods’ research focuses on discovery and application of…
Dr. Perlstein’s research interests include Cognitive Neuroscience, Experimental Psychopathology, Emotion Neuroscience, Anxiety Disorders, Traumatic Brain Injury, Psychophysiology, Functional Neuroimaging. Full CV…
Dr. Robinson studies a broad spectrum of topics related to the human pain experience. Specific topics include Placebo Analgesia, Patient Centered Outcomes, Sex, Race, and Age biases in decisions about pain, Psychological Factors in pain perception, Behavioral Interventions (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for pain and insomnia, Manual Therapy, Placebo) and Coping with…
Dr. Smith’s research examines the time course and extent of respiratory muscle remodeling in response to respiratory muscle overload training, using a combination of basic science and clinical approaches. Her current research projects include 1) examining the biology of acute muscle remodeling following a respiratory overload, 2) using translational strategies…
Dr. Rose’s research investigates the development and implementation of behavioral intervention strategies, based on principles of neuroplasticity and motor learning, for the rehabilitation of motor control deficits following neurologic injury and disease. She investigates the role of adjuvants, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, to behavioral interventions for the recovery…
All movements –as simple as blinking one’s eyes to as complex as signing one’s name and walking—involve the production and control of muscular force by the nervous system. While biomechanical demands vary across motor tasks, the nervous system responds to regulate force production in a task dependent manner. Dr. Patten’s…
Dr. George’s primary research interests involve the utilization of biopsychosocial models for the prevention and treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain. Dr. George’s research projects have been supported by awards from the University of Florida, the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, and the Foundation for Physical Therapy. His…
Dr. Fuller’s research program is aimed at understanding how neuroplasticity in the brain and spinal cord influences the control of breathing. The overall hypothesis driving the work in Dr. Fuller’s laboratory is that appropriate induction of neuroplasticity has the potential to improve respiratory muscle control in cases of injury or…
Dr. Bishop’s research interests are in the management of musculoskeletal conditions, particularly pain, by conservative rehabilitation interventions like manual therapy. This work uses experimentally induced pain models and includes modalities such as quantitative sensory testing to measure pain sensitivity and central nervous system changes in response to interventions. This work…
Dr. Altmann’s primary research investigates the interaction between cognitive ability and language use, with a focus on how disorders of executive function and working memory affect language production and comprehension. This research has investigated language use in various populations: healthy young and older adults, Alzheimer patients, adults with dyslexia, and…
