Vincent joined the lab in 2001, after completing a BS in Physics and Physiology from McGill University. He discovered that statistics of error during motor adaptation can fundamentally alter how the brain learns motor control. He completed his PhD in 2007 with the thesis Enhancing motor learning through theoretical and experimental methods. He subsequently became a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University. The results of his thesis were published in the following papers: Persistence of motor memories reflects statistics of the learning event. VS Huang and R Shadmehr (2009) Journal of Neurophysiology 102:931-940. Abstract Active learning: learning a motor skill without a coach. VS Huang, R Shadmehr, and J Diedrichsen (2008) Journal of Neurophysiology 100:879-887. Abstract Evolution of motor memory during the seconds after observation of motor error.  VS Huang and R Shadmehr (2007) Journal of Neurophysiology 97:3976-3985.  Abstract
