Fiona is primarily investigating sensorimotor interactions in predictive timing. Her work to date has covered the perceptual improvements associated with sensorimotor synchronization, the importance auditory feedback produced by moving (i.e., tapping) and the role of musical expertise in movement timing and perception. She has also collaborated on projects that demonstrate mutual adaptation in joint motor synchronization and the development of cortical oscillatory activity using EEG. Fiona is currently examining how attention is mediated by metrical accents, motor trajectories associated with timed movements using motion capture technology and the role of various motor effectors in synchronization that impact perception. She is also examining interactions between coupled oscillators using EEG and motor trajectories using motion capture technology in a synchronization task. Fiona completed her Honours B.Sc. in Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour, specialized in Music Cognition in 2011 and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour at McMaster University.
