About
Tarkeshwar Singh is a leading researcher in motor control and rehabilitation neuroscience, whose work bridges eye-hand coordination, stroke recovery, and pediatric motor disorders. His research primarily investigates how the brain coordinates vision and limb movement, and how this system breaks down after neurological injury. Singh’s most impactful work, "Eye Movements Interfere With Limb Motor Control in Stroke Survivors" (34 citations), demonstrated that stroke survivors’ difficulty with daily tasks stems from disrupted eye-hand coordination, not just motor impairment—a finding with direct therapeutic implications. He also developed a geometric method for classifying gaze events in robotic environments (30 citations), a methodological contribution that enables precise tracking of ocular kinematics during rehabilitation. His work on motor learning (14 citations) revealed that multiple independent processes predict skill acquisition, challenging single-mechanism theories. Singh has also advanced the biomechanics of grasping through soft-contact models for computing safety margins in prehension (7 citations), and his recent study on prefrontal cortex activity during robotic reaching in children with cerebral palsy (2024) opens new avenues for understanding cortical contributions to motor deficits. With a career spanning stroke rehabilitation, pediatric neurology, and computational motor control, Singh’s work is shaping how we understand and treat movement disorders across the lifespan.
