Manuel Varlet

Associate Professor in Cognitive Neuroscience, Western Sydney University

Associate Professor in Cognitive Neuroscience, Western Sydney University My research investigates the perceptual-motor processes underlying human performances and their changes across the lifespan, with expertise and pathologies, using behavioural, neuroimaging and brain stimulation methods. I am particularly interested in identifying the neural, informational and biomechanical mechanisms that support and enhance agent-environment and multi-agent coordination. I employ a range of motion capture, EEG, TMS, tDCS/tACS and virtual reality technologies to investigate these perceptual-motor processes, as well as a wide variety of contemporary linear and nonlinear time-series analysis and dynamical modelling techniques.
