Insights into the neural control of locomotion from walking through doorways in Parkinson's disease (2010)
Journal Article
Cowie, D., Limousin, P., Peters, A., & Day, B. (2010). Insights into the neural control of locomotion from walking through doorways in Parkinson's disease. Neuropsychologia, 48(9), 2750-2757. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2010.05.022

Recent evidence suggests that a network of brain areas may be involved in visually guided walking. Here we study patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who experience ‘freezing’ behaviour to investigate the visual control of locomotion and the role o...

The development of locomotor planning for end-state comfort (2010)
Journal Article
Cowie, D., Smith, L., & Braddick, O. (2010). The development of locomotor planning for end-state comfort. Perception, 39(5), 661-670. https://doi.org/10.1068/p6343

Walking through real-world environments involves using perceptual information to make complex choices between alternative routes, and this ability must develop through childhood. We examined performance and its development in one such situation. We u... Read More about The development of locomotor planning for end-state comfort.
