Dr. Furmanek’s research focuses on neurophysiological motor control mechanisms in healthy and clinical populations. He is interested in understanding how humans integrate multisensory information (visual, auditory, proprioception) to produce coordinated movements. Specifically, he is interested in neural processes involved in upper extremity coordination during reach-to-grasp actions and postural control. His area of interest is also related to the validity and reliability of functional measures of human performance in both physical and virtual environments. His long-term goal is to translate scientific findings into practical applications (evidence-based practice) and make diagnostics and corrective technologies more suitable for clinical applications.
