The Sensorimotor Exploration Lab, nicknamed SMEL, is a neuromechanics laboratory in the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen's University. Our research focuses on exploring the planning, control, and learning processes of skilled movement in both neurologically-healthy and neurologically-impaired populations, such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and spinal muscle atrophy. We conduct interdisciplinary scientific work at the intersection of kinesiology, psychology, engineering, systems neuroscience, and rehabilitation. Our lab comprises diverse and dedicated members, and we welcome individuals from various academic and cultural backgrounds to join us. For more information about who we are and our research, as well as the process of becoming a member, please explore the Potential New Students page.
