Rehabilitation and Educational Training Prof. Jason Friedman

Motor learning

In day -to -day life, we perform an enormous variety of movements, usually with little thought. However, we know that planning and executing these movements is in reality very complicated Dr Friedman seeks to enhance our understanding of how we produce movements, with a focus on how we can speed up the process of motor learning . He tests applications of the https://www.curiousjason.com / techniques developed in the lab on different populations, including children as they develop, and individuals with motor disorders such as Parkinson's disease and cerebral palsy, with a goal of improving rehabilitation and other motor learning processes .

Prof Friedman, PhD, is in the Department of Physical Therapy, where he is a principal investigator and codirector of the Movement Sciences lab. Originally from Australia, Dr. Friedman completed his undergraduate studies at Monash University in Australia, followed by an M.Sc. and Ph.D. at the Weizmann Institute of Science, all in the field of Computer Science. He also performed postdoctoral research in the Department of Kinesiology at Penn State University in the US, and in the Department of Cognitive Science at Macquarie University in Australia. He takes advantage of his multidisciplinary background to find new ways of looking at problems related to human motor control. Dr. Friedman heads the Biomed@TAU Research Hub on Motor Learning.
