Dr. Peters is an Assistant Professor in the School of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, at Western University. Her research aims to improve mobility outcomes and quality of life for people after stroke. She uses neuroimaging to study how the brain functions to control mobility, and how mobility recovery can be enhanced. Dr. Peters directs the Neurorehabilitation Physiology Lab which is located at Parkwood Institute. The lab uses advanced neuroimaging including functional near-infrared spectroscopy and electroencephalogram to explore neural mechanisms of tasks like standing and stepping. Neuroimaging is completed along with task performance measures including kinematics and electromyography to learn how the behaviours that can be observed are linked with brain function. Projects include basic neuroscience questions around how the brain controls mobility, and clinical questions of how to promote mobility recovery through neurorehabilitation.
