Welcome to the Mayerl lab!
We are interested in exploring how interactions between an organism's anatomy and physiology generate performance across ontogenetic and comparative perspectives. Our research integrates measures of physiology, physics, and engineering principles to provide mechanistic insight into sensorimotor integration across vertebrates.
