About
Dr. Maya Patel is a leading researcher in motor neuroscience, with a focus on the neural and behavioral mechanisms underlying bimanual coordination and aging. Her work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of how age-related changes in visuomotor control disrupt the complex interactions between limbs during everyday tasks. Her most-cited study, "Effect of aging on the visuomotor control during continuous bimanual movement," has garnered significant attention for revealing how older adults exhibit altered asymmetries in limb control, challenging long-held assumptions about motor decline. This foundational work has been cited over 100 times, establishing her as a key figure in the field. Dr. Patel's research has direct implications for rehabilitation and fall prevention in aging populations, and she is recognized for her innovative use of continuous tracking tasks to dissect sensorimotor integration. Her contributions have been honored with the Early Career Award from the Society for Motor Neuroscience, and she continues to shape our understanding of how the brain adapts to age-related neural changes.
