The Perceptual-Motor Dynamics Laboratory, directed by Dr. Michael Riley and Dr. Kevin Shockley, is housed in the Psychology Department at the University of Cincinnati. The Perceptual-Motor Dynamics Laboratory comprises more than 2500 sq. ft. of laboratory space, including motion capture laboratories (three Polhemus Fastrack/6-D Research Systems), a posture laboratory (Bertec and AMTI force platforms), a haptic perception laboratory a gait laboratory with treadmill & electrogoniometers, virtual reality equipment, and PC & Mac facilities. Ongoing research projects include studies of coordinated rhythmic movement and interlimb coordination, postural control (e.g., effects of supra-postural and cognitive tasks on balance, postural instability in Parkinson's disease), attention and dual-tasking during motor performance, perceptual-motor adaptation, affordance perception, interpersonal coordination during joint tasks, and haptic perception (proprioception and dynamic touch).
