Have you ever wondered why less stable tasks or environments feel more challenging to navigate? Are you curious how the nervous system controls muscle such that it can contribute to force production in multiple directions and under different degrees of compliance? So are we! 

The Neurophysiology of Human Movement Lab is looking for healthy adults ages 18–40 years to participate in a research study investigating how the nervous system controls the force of a muscle in multiple directions, as well as with different compliant loads.  

The study involves one 2.5-hour visit to our lab on the CU Boulder Main Campus.   

If interested, please call 303-492-4975 or email kelsey.koger@colorado.edu and reference the "Change in Force Direction" study. 

During maintenance that affects the portals, such as that scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 20, remember that you can still access Canvas and some other services directly.
