My research focuses on human sensory motor physiology and over the years I have used a variety of experimental techniques and data analysis approaches to answer my research questions. These techniques and approaches did not come naturally to me. It took perseverance and a few key people along the way for me to learn what I needed to learn. In the past few years I have become interested in science in the digital age – not the science of the digital age, but rather how the practice of science has changed (or not changed) with the advent and now ubiquity of computers.
