About
Brandon M. Sexton investigates the neural mechanisms underlying sensorimotor integration and motor learning, with a particular focus on how the brain combines vision and proprioception to guide movement. His most cited work (32 citations) demonstrates that force field adaptation—a form of cerebellum-dependent motor learning—leads to an increased weighting of visual cues over proprioceptive ones when estimating hand position. This finding reveals a dynamic reweighting of sensory inputs during motor adaptation, challenging static models of multisensory integration. Sexton’s research bridges computational principles of Bayesian inference with experimental motor control, offering insights into how the nervous system flexibly adjusts sensory reliance to optimize performance in changing environments. His contributions have implications for understanding motor learning deficits in neurological conditions and for designing rehabilitation strategies. By showing that learning alters sensory weighting, Sexton has opened new avenues for studying the interplay between perception and action, making his work essential reading for researchers in motor control, neurorehabilitation, and multisensory processing.
