Professor Dagmar Sternad Gives 2013 Arthur Iberall Distinguished Lecture on Life and the Sciences of Complexity at University of Connecticut
Dr. Dagmar Sternad, Professor of Biology, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Physics, gave the 2013 Arthur Iberall Distinguished Lecture on Life and the Sciences of Complexity at the University of Connecticut on December 6, 2013. Dr. Sternad's lecture, "Actions and Interactions in a Complex World," surveyed her work on the control of sensorimotor skills and how task dynamics constrain and enable sensorimotor actions, as well as their change with practice. By understanding the healthy neuro-mechanical system, Dr. Sternad's team is leading to the development of interventions that restore or reverse the degradation of functional behavior, such as in the case of a stroke or other injury.
