Research Interest

Dr. Raymond Chong research interests includes: How do we move? How are movements affected as we age? When there is a neurologic disease? When the mind is distracted? I use established and novel paradigms including surface perturbations, treadmill walking, suspended forward fall, obstacle crossing, optical prism adaptation and close-loop virtual-reality systems in my experiments. My research interests include: (1) Automatic and volitional multisensory organization and postural control in humans during reaching, stance and walking in healthy and neurological conditions such as Parkinsons disease; (2) Movement theories.
