I read Natural Sciences at Cambridge, ending with Physiology and Neurosciences, and then completed a PhD on the control of the primate hand split between Cambridge and the Institute of Neurology, London. This began my interest in oscillatory activity in the primate motor system; my subsequent papers probed how oscillations seem to pass around a feedback loop from cortex to muscle and then back again via sensory pathways. More recently, I have become interested in sub-cortical systems like the spinal cord and brainstem, and how they can contribute to the control of movement in health and recovery from damage.

My work uses a wide range of methods, including non-invasive electrophysiological recordings from healthy human volunteers and patients with motor disorders, computer modelling and mathematical data analysis, and electrophysiology in macaque monkeys.
