Dr. Anita Bialunska research interest involves the perception-action relationships, specifically multisensory processing, spatial and temporal attention, sensorimotor integration and synchronization, rhythm perception and production. She employs basic and clinical research and develops behavioral, electrophysiological, and non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to better understand mechanisms and neuronal underpinnings of these functions and related dysfunctions. The ultimate goal is to advance the treatment of brain disorders.
She is currently looking at the recovery mechanisms of impaired sensorimotor functions after the Mild Traumatic Brain Injury population, as well as the relationship between the processing of rhythmical information and brain disorders. In addition, she is interested in the neuroplasticity mechanisms and the potential effect of the transcranial magnetic stimulation of timing circuits to improve other functions (e.g., motoric, affective, cognitive).
