cwadsley@uoregon.edu

Postdoctoral scholar from New Zealand interested in the neural basis of motor control in humans when preparing, executing, and inhibiting actions. I completed my Ph.D. training at The University of Auckland before moving to the University of Oregon. My research uses a multimodal approach by combining behavioral testing with a range of electrophysiological (electromyography, transcranial magnetic stimulation, electroencephalography) and neuroimaging (magnetic resonance imaging/spectroscopy) techniques. Outside of the lab, I enjoy all things basketball-, PlayStation- and cookie-related.

Originally from Michigan where I completed my BS in Clinical Exercise Science at Grand Valley State University. Then I moved to Washington to pursue a MS in Exercise Science at Central Washington University. After teaching for a few years at CWU, I decided it was time to go back to school and shift my research focus to motor control. In my downtime I enjoy cycling, hiking, swimming and of course reading.

Originally from California, I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2018 with a degree in neurobiology. After graduating, I stayed at UC Berkeley and worked as a research assistant studying jumping biomechanics in freely moving squirrels. My current research examines the mechanisms of variation in motor control in humans. In my free time I enjoy hiking, weightlifting, playing Dungeons and Dragons, and attempting to mix lofi music.

President of Gender Inclusion in Neuroscience

NET Neuro Fellow

hnishio@uoregon.edu

I am from Staten Island, New York. I received both my bachelors and masters degree from Indianapolis, IN at IUPUI in Exercise Science/Kinesiology with specialized interest in the Neural Control Lab utilizing both transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for motor skill acquisition and fine motor movement improvements. After watching The Matrix as a kid, I’ve had a passion for learning about the brain and how to improve learning and motor skills. During my free time, I enjoy reading books, working on all types of puzzles, and working out at the gym.

Blackwell Human Physiology Award recipient
NET Neuro Fellow

Originally from Portland, Oregon, I completed my undergraduate degrees at the University of Oregon in Human Physiology and Physics. I am currently the Action Control Lab manager as well as neuroimaging technician. Outside of lab, I love reading, skiing, board games, and pole vault, which I coach at a local high school.

Raised outside Clackamas, Oregon, I am an undergraduate studying human physiology and Spanish. In the future I want to become a PA in pediatric oncology. Outside of school I love to cook, explore scenic views, and travel to different countries with my closest friends.

Blackwell Human Physiology Award recipient

I am an undergraduate at the Clark Honors College majoring in Human Physiology with a minor in Chemistry from Portland, Oregon. After graduation I hope to attend medical school. In my free time I love to hike, ski, and read.

Hui Undergraduate Research Scholar

I’m from San Diego, California and an undergraduate at UO majoring in neuroscience with a minor in chemistry. I really enjoy studying and researching neuroscience because the complexity of it brings so much to learn. Some of my hobbies outside of school include hiking, mountain biking, and learning new songs on the banjo.

I am an undergraduate at the University of Oregon majoring in Computer Science and Neuroscience. As a research assistant at the Action Control Lab, I am particularly interested in how brain-computer interfaces interpret human intentions to control external devices. In the future, I hope to contribute to the field of neurotechnology through research and development. In my free time, I enjoy playing chess, traveling, and spending time with my family.

I’m a Human Physiology major with Chemistry and Spanish minors at the University of Oregon. After graduation, I hope to attend medical school and someday practice family medicine. In my free time, I like to run, paint, hike, and try new foods!
