Nicole Wenderoth is Professor for Neural Control of Movement at ETH Zürich, Switzerland. Prior to joining ETH Zürich, she was a post-doc and senior lecturer at the Centre for Movement Control and Neuroplasticity at KU Leuven, Belgium. In 2012 she was appointed as Full Professor for Neural Control of Movement in the Department of Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zürich where she heads a multidisciplinary research group that develops new interventions for modulating neural processing and human behaviour in health and disease. Since 2020, she is also the director of the Future Health Technologies research programme, an interdisciplinary research initiative at the Singapore-ETH Centre. Nicole Wenderoth’s Neural Control of Movement Lab investigates how the human brain controls motor behaviour, learns new skills, and flexibly adapts to the environment. Based on these insights we design modern brain stimulation and neurofeedback paradigms for modulating or self-regulating neural function. Even though our work is motivated by fundamental Systems Neuroscience, we actively pursue translation of our findings to applications in the field of neurorehabilitation and learning sciences.
