The Human Movement Research Laboratory (MOVI-LAB) was created in 2014 and belongs to the School of Sciences – Department of Physical Education of the São Paulo State University (UNESP) – Bauru Campus – Brazil. The main objective of MOVI-LAB Brazil is understand the neuromotor mechanisms underlying the way human movements are planned and controlled. Our research approach consists of a combination of experimental and clinical studies aimed at unraveling the interaction between organismic, task-related, and environmental constraints by examining human movement in neurologically healthy individuals and people with neurodegenerative diseases. MOVI-LAB has established intensive and fruitful collaborations with important national and international scientific centers, such as UNICAMP- State University of Campinas, Purdue University, Université de Lille, University of Groningen, Medical School Hamburg, Grenoble Alpes University, which serves the purpose of better covering the multi-disciplinary nature of human movement issues and promoting continuous exchanging between theory and practice. It has received several awards/grants at Brazilian and International Agencies and has been supported by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), Fulbright Scholar Program (FULBRIGHT) and UNESP Foundation (FUNDUNESP).
