From eye gaze to gait: Understanding human navigation
From eye gaze to gait: Understanding human navigation
The STRIDE Lab is dedicated to understanding how visual perception, individual characteristics, and adaptive strategies shape human locomotion. Our mission is to advance knowledge of visuo-locomotor control across diverse populations and contexts, with the goal of promoting safe, efficient, and inclusive mobility. We use wearable eye tracking, motion capture, virtual reality, and other biomechanical tools to investigate how people perceive, plan, and execute movement in both real and simulated environments. Through this work, we aim to inform the design of inclusive environments, and develop evidence-based strategies that enhance mobility across the lifespan.
Research fields are divided into four themes:
Navigation & Adaptive Locomotor Strategies
Navigation & Adaptive Locomotor Strategies
How do individuals negotiate complex environments to maintain safe and efficient mobility?
This theme examines how people circumvent obstacles, adjust gait patterns, and adopt adaptive strategies in dynamic settings. Our work spans athletes, older adults, and wheelchair users to identify common principles and population-specific adaptations.
Visual Information & Perception in Locomotion
Visual Information & Perception in Locomotion
How do people gather and use visual cues to guide movement?
This theme explores the visual strategies that support navigation, obstacle avoidance, and real-time motor adjustments across different environments and levels of expertise.
Individuals' Affordances & Self-Perception
Individuals' Affordances & Self-Perception
How do personal characteristics and perceived capabilities shape locomotor decisions?
We investigate how factors like body morphology, ability status, age, and transient conditions—such as pregnancy—impact how individuals assess action possibilities and adapt their movements accordingly.
