Labs

The MotorLab suite of computer-based labs includes modules span the most common topics covered in typical motor control and learning courses.


Each lab experience takes between 10 and 30 minutes to complete, and the number of trials is customizable. Once the lab is complete, the student can save the data file to their computer for later analysis. Individual trial outcomes and mean values are provided for most labs (where applicable).

As post-secondary educators we understand the importance of experiential learning, and these labs provide students with hands-on knowledge and experience.
