À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ

As a boy I grew up in northern Canada (Shefferville, Québec and The Pas, Manitoba) and briefly in Cambridge, England. My secondary schooling was in Toronto, Canada and I studied Neuropsychology with  at the , where I began my work on the integration of visual and haptic information.

I received my PhD in Experimental Psychology at  in Toronto, Canada with Ìý²¹³Ù the . Here I began my research programs on gravity perception as well as the perceived timing of multisensory events which involved directly stimulating the human vestibular system.

I then took up a postdoctoral fellowship at the  in Tübingen, Germany with where I used advanced motion simulators to model self-motion perception, three-dimensional navigation, perceived object stability, and gravitational effects on object recognition. Here I led the  research group and was project leader for the , funded by a Seventh Framework Programme Research Grant.

My work on gravity perception led me to work with at Ìý²¹³Ù  in London, Canada to investigate the neural correlates of gravity perception and multisensory integration. Here my research was very generously supported by and a .

While there, I also became an Adjunct Research Professor in . During my tenure at Western my research program grew to incorporate functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) to determine the network properties that underlie gravity perception in the human brain.

I am now an Assistant Professor of Neuroscience in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ in À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, Canada.
