Professor and Chair, Department of Neurobiology, Duke University School of Medicine. Demonstrated how visual signals are transformed into accurate motor actions by neural circuits in the sensory and motor cortex and the cerebellum. Used simple eye movement reflex and a visually-guided voluntary eye movement to discover the sites and neural circuit mechanisms of motor learning in the cerebellum.
