An expert in movement and neurodiversity, Dr. Cheryl Glazebrook is interested in understanding the processes of multisensory-motor integration to develop an understanding of perceptual-motor performance and improve motor skill learning in diverse populations, including autism, older adults and acquired brain injury.
Dr. Glazebrook’s research seeks to understand how the nervous system integrates information from different senses (sight, sound, etc.) to perform precise movements. She manipulates the accuracy and availability of visual, auditory, and somatosensory information in order to develop principles for using multisensory information to improve motor skill learning and performance.

Dr. Glazebrook's research seeks to understand how the nervous system perceives and integrates information from different senses (sight, sound, body awareness) to perform skilled movements. She manipulates the accuracy and availability of visual, auditory, and somatosensory information with the goal of developing specific principles for using multisensory information to improve motor skill learning and performance across diverse populations.
This lab based research is complemented with collaborations that are focused on applying these concepts to novel technology and inclusive dance programming (funded by Research Manitoba and Riverview Health Centre Foundation).
