Journal Article
Cowie, D., Limousin, P., Peters, A., Hariz, M., & Day, B. (2012). Doorway-provoked freezing of gait and its treatment in Parkinson’s disease. Movement Disorders, 27(4), 492-499. https://doi.org/10.1002/mds.23990

Freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease can be difficult to study in the laboratory. Here we investigate the use of a variable-width doorway to provoke freeze behavior together with new objective methods to measure it. With this approach we compare t...

Visually guided step descent in children with Williams Syndrome (2012)
Journal Article
Cowie, D., Braddick, O., & Atkinson, J. (2012). Visually guided step descent in children with Williams Syndrome. Developmental Science, 15(1), 74-86. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-7687.2011.01104.x

Individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) have impairments in visuospatial tasks and in manual visuomotor control, consistent with parietal and cerebellar abnormalities. Here we examined whether individuals with WS also have difficulties in visually co... Read More about Visually guided step descent in children with Williams Syndrome.
