About
Irene Lacal is a rising neuroscientist whose research lies at the intersection of motor control, neurophysiology, and human-robot interaction. Her work focuses on how the brain adapts to changing environments, particularly through the lens of motor adaptation and internal model formation. In her 2021 study on robot-mediated forcefields, Lacal explored how individuals learn to correct movements in response to external forces, shedding light on the neurophysiological mechanisms—such as TMS-evoked potentials—that underlie individual differences in motor performance. This work has been cited 3 times and contributes to foundational knowledge in motor learning and rehabilitation robotics. More recently, her 2024 perspective piece, emerging from the 33rd Annual Meeting of the Society for the Neural Control of Movement, synthesizes cutting-edge debates on motor control, including foundational mechanisms and neural pathways. With a growing citation impact and a focus on bridging basic neuroscience with applied technologies, Lacal is establishing herself as a thoughtful contributor to the field. Her work holds promise for informing neurorehabilitation strategies and brain-machine interfaces, making her a researcher to watch in the evolving landscape of motor neuroscience.
