About
Atsuo Nuruki is a leading researcher in sensorimotor neuroscience, whose work bridges the gap between basic motor control and clinical neurology. His primary research areas include the sense of agency, sensory attenuation, and the neural mechanisms underlying force perception and motor prediction. Dr. Nuruki’s most impactful contribution is his seminal 2014 study on sensory attenuation in patients with functional (psychogenic) movement disorders, which has garnered over 160 citations. This work demonstrated that these patients lack the normal ability to attenuate self-generated sensory feedback, providing a critical neurobiological marker for a condition often misattributed to purely psychological causes. He has also made significant strides in understanding how the brain integrates vision and touch, as shown in his highly cited 2019 study on visual delay and force scaling during object lifting in virtual reality. This research has practical implications for VR interface design and rehabilitation. Dr. Nuruki’s work is notable for its elegant experimental designs—such as the force-matching task—that directly probe the subjective experience of control, making his findings essential reading for students and researchers in motor control, psychophysics, and clinical neuroscience.
