Ali Ahmadi-Pajouh

Ali Ahmadi-Pajouh, 2010. Shadmehr Lab, 2010.

Ali joined the lab in 2010 as a visiting scholar from Amir Kabir University, Tehran, where he was a PhD student. The day of his arrival we had the biggest snow storm of the decade, and Baltimore closed down for a week. Despite that, Ali, his wife, and young child, thrived during the year that they were at Hopkins. He performed significant research, discovering that the brain modulated the reflex pathways in the delay period preceding onset of a reaching movement, and that this modulation changed as the brain adapted to a force field.
