The Sensorimotor Exploration Lab (colloquially known as SMEL) is a neuromechanics lab ********************************************************************************************************************in the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen’s University. We study the processes that underly the planning, control, and learning of skilled movement in both neurologically-healthy and neurologically-impaired populations (e.g., spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, spinal muscle atrophy). Our scientific work is at the intersection of kinesiology, psychology, engineering, systems neuroscience, and rehabilitation. Our lab thrives because of the diversity and commitment of our members, and we welcome new members from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds. Please read more about about who we are, our work, and about the process of joining.
