Have you ever wondered why it becomes increasingly more challenging to not spill your coffee the longer you have to transport that exquisitely full cup of liquid gold? Are you curious how the nervous system controls muscle after repeated bouts of contractile effort? So are we!

The Neurophysiology of Movement Lab is looking for healthy adults aged 18–45 years to participate in a research study investigating how the nervous system controls muscle force, using contractions that challenge force control. 

The study involves one, 1.5-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 "Contraction History" study.
