Synergies between Connected Minds and HSPRI
Presented by: Dr. Gunnar Blohm
Friday, March 22 @ 12PM EST
Virtual Seminar

Dr. Blohm’s research interests lie in the 3D properties of sensorimotor control and their role in the interaction of different motor systems. His research focuses on the human experience related to 3D space and what computations does the brain perform to purposefully act upon our environment? 

Dr. Blohm’s focus is on three subtopics: eye-hand coordination; saccade/ smooth pursuit eye movements; and the construction of 3D models of space for perception and action. Dr. Blohm uses computational modeling techniques, behavioral experiments, as well as brain imaging, brain stimulation and studies of patients.  

About Connected Minds: New technologies are revolutionizing society, creating a 'techno-social collective' where humans and intelligent technologies are deeply interconnected. While such advances present exciting opportunities, they also present significant risks, especially for vulnerable and/or marginalized populations. The Connected Minds Program –supported by the Canada Research Excellence Fund, York and Queens’ Universities, and our many partners from multiple sectors—envisions a world where breakthroughs in technology promote social health and justice for all, with special focus on Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
