Dr. Peterson is an Associate professor at Arizona State University and director of the Gait and Balance Dysfunction Laboratory. He completed his PhD training at Washington University in St. Louis, and postdoctoral work at Oregon Health Science University in Portland, Oregon. His lab focuses on identifying ways to predict and prevent falls in neurological populations, as well as understanding motor learning as it pertains to physical rehabilitation. To achieve these goals, his lab applies biomechanical (i.e. motion capture), neuropsychological (cognitive assessments), and imaging (fMRI) techniques.
