Institute of Sensorimotor Neuroscience

ISMN is a cross-departmental institute within UCL bringing together researchers with a common interest in sensory processing, motor control and sensorimotor integration

The Institute of Sensorimotor Neuroscience (ISMN) has experts in a wide range of fields applicable to the study of the neural control of movement and combines clinical, physiological, neuroimaging, developmental, psychophysical and computational approaches. In addition, the research at the IMN covers different motor systems, such as the eye, upper and lower limb, and balance. This broad approach allows an identification of the common themes of human neural function for motor control.

ISMN includes the following institutes and centres across UCL.

• Clinical and Movement Neurosciences
• Neuromuscular Diseases
• Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience
• National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery 
• Sainsbury Wellcome Centre
• NPP 
• WIBR

The following Groups from the core research groups of ISMN:

• The Effort Lab
• Human Motor Control Lab
• The Neural Circuits for Movement Lab
• Primate Motor control Lab
• Action & Social Cogination lab 
• Human Decision making & Action Selection lab
• Motor Neurorehabilitation lab
• Premotor circuits lab
• Spinal sensorimotor networks lab
• Neuroscience and behaviour laboratory
• Neural circuits for pain lab
• Circuits for adaptive motor control

Director: Dr Anna Kuppuswamy

Activities of the Institute include a seminar series. Please find the 2020 calendar here. The seminar series is free to attend for those outside UCL, so please feel free to circulate. If you wish to be included in the ISMN email list please contact Ms Linda Taib - l.taib@ucl.ac.uk 

The Inaugural seminar  was held on  14^th Nov 2019, 5pm (Prof Marc Schieber (University of Rochester)

We have to unfortunately cancel the March, May and June lectures in the ISMN seminar series. We hope to resume normal activity later in 2020. Also we are hoping to reschedule some of the lectures
