Dr. Buxbaum is Director of the Cognition and Action Laboratory at the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute and an Associate Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University. Her primary research interests are in the bidirectional links between object and action representations, and the complementary roles of representations of tasks, objects, space and the body in both action and conceptual processing. Research in her lab uses behavioral methods with healthy and brain-lesioned subjects, voxel-based lesion analyses, eye-tracking, and virtual reality.

Dr. Mirman is an Institute Scientist at MRRI where he directs the Language & Cognitive Dynamics Laboratory. His primary research interest is the mechanisms underlying comprehension and production of spoken language. Current projects are focusing on the time course of spoken word comprehension in aphasia, the structure and processing of conceptual knowledge about words and objects, and the dynamics of competition and cooperation between words that are similar to each other in sound, spelling, or meaning. Research in his lab uses behavioral, eye-tracking, cognitive neuropsychology, and computational modeling methods.

Dr. Vasudevan is an Institute Scientist at MRRI and directs the Motor Learning Laboratory. She earned a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Alberta and received post-doctoral training in Motor Learning and Rehabilitation from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Kennedy Krieger Institute. Her primary research interest is the mechanisms underlying motor learning in children and adults. Specifically, she is interested in how people learn new gait patterns, and how this learning can be optimized for the purposes of rehabilitation.
