He has applied nonlinear dynamical analysis to the control of eye movements, including investigations of the functional implications of fractal activity in physiological behavior. He has had NASA’s support to study sensorimotor adaptation to space flight, amassing a fair amount of parabolic flight (“weightless”) experience in the process.
