Dorian Rose

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…

Carolynn Patten

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…

Michael G. Perri

Dr. Perri’s research focuses on health promotion and disease prevention through changes in diet and physical activity. His current studies involve the development of effective programs for the management of obesity in underserved rural communities.
