Bio:

Dr. Robin’s research focuses on human performance. While the bulk of his work has been in speech motor control and its disorders, recently he has extended his interests into general principles of skill learning across various systems (e.g. speech, limbs). His current interests involve the study of the neural substrates of speech and limb motor control and learning in unimpaired and brain injured persons using functional imaging (fMRI, PET), structural imaging (MRI), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Dr. Robin has a particular interest in the study of motor speech disorders especially in regard to motor programming breakdowns. Dr. Robin has a keen interest in motor system responses to mechanical and perceptual perturbations. Finally, an emphasis of the research in his lab is the development and testing of treatments for motor disorders and exploration of the mechanisms of action of successful treatments with imaging methodology.
