A/Prof Nick O'Dwyer (Motor Control)
Motor control, skill acquisition, multi-joint coordination, stretch reflexes, computer modelling.

Nicholas O’Dwyer is a psychologist with over twenty years experience of teaching and research in the area of motor control. This encompasses motor learning and skill acquisition, movement coordination, motor development and computational modelling of brain information processing. His expertise includes the neurophysiological basis of common disorders of movement such as stroke and cerebral palsy, and tracing the development of co-ordination during the learning of the rowing skill. With colleagues at the University of NSW, using engineering control systems theory, he has developed a computational model of brain information processing underlying control of movement and learning of coordination skills. His research on movement is published in journals in movement science, physiology, neurology, rehabilitation and cybernetics. He teaches motor control and learning to students of Exercise and Sport Science and Physiotherapy and leads a program of basic research into neural control of voluntary and reflex movements.
