About

Christopher Perry’s research lies at the intersection of motor control, neurorehabilitation, and oculomotor behavior, with a focus on how eye movements and limb movements interact—particularly after neurological injury. His major contributions include demonstrating that eye movements can interfere with limb motor control in stroke survivors, a finding with direct implications for rehabilitation strategies that involve visual and motor tasks performed simultaneously. This work, published in 2018, has garnered 34 citations and highlights the critical role of eye-hand coordination in functional recovery. Perry also developed a geometric method for classifying gaze events using monocular remote eye tracking in robotic environments (2016, 30 citations), advancing the use of virtual reality and robotic systems for upper extremity assessment. More recently, his 2020 study showed that multiple independent processes predict motor learning, broadening our understanding of how visual search and eye-hand coordination contribute to skill acquisition. Perry’s work is notable for bridging fundamental motor learning theory with practical applications in neurorehabilitation, making him a key figure in developing more effective, gaze-aware therapies for stroke survivors and others with motor impairments.
