Her lab has pioneered methods to have participants perform real actions — including reaching, grasping and tool use — upon real objects within the constrained environment of the fMRI scanner. Her work has discovered and characterized action-related areas within the human cerebral cortex, thought to be human homologues of areas within NHPs that could serve as suitable substrates for brain-machine interfaces. http://culhamlab.ssc.uwo.ca/culhamlab
