Onno van der Groen

Research Fellow in the school of medical and health sciences, Edith Cowan University

Dr. Onno van der Groen completed a Bachelor in Human Movement Sciences in Groningen, and a Research Master in Cognitive Neuropsycholgy in Amsterdam, both in the Netherlands. His thesis was completed at the University of Sydney investigating the influence of tactile information on visual perception. In 2017 he completed his PhD at the Neuronal Control of Movement lab at the ETH in Zurich, Switzerland, the focus of which was on how human perception can be enhanced with non-invasive brain stimulation. Dr van der Groen moved to Perth in early 2018 to commence a PostDoc in the Neuro-Rehabilitation and Robotics lab at Edith Cowan University. His research currently focuses on improving outcomes for motor rehabilitation in stroke patients.
