Greg Ariff, with a wrist impedance measurement device designed and constructed by Sami Kandarian, 2001.

Greg joined the lab in 1999. He was a MS BME student who focused on quantifying adaptation of forward models. His tool was saccadic eye movements as a proxy for the forward model during reach adaptation. He is currently Senior Project Engineer, MPR Associates Inc.

His research results were published in the following works:

A real-time state predictor in motor control: study of saccadic eye movements during unseen reaching movements. G Ariff, O Donchin, T Nanayakkara, and R Shadmehr (2002) Journal of Neuroscience 22:7721-7729. Abstract Citations
