Greg Wood

Dr. Greg Wood is a Reader in Sensorimotor Control at Manchester Metropolitan University, focusing on neurophysiological mechanisms underlying movement control and neurological disorders. His research integrates MRI, TMS, EEG, and EMG to study brain-muscle interactions, particularly in contexts like sports-related head impacts and developmental coordination disorder (DCD). He serves as Editor-in-Chief of the International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology.

Key research areas include: 1) Effects of head impacts on brain function and motor control in soccer players, 2) Neurological basis of DCD and intervention strategies, 3) Motor learning principles applied to prosthetic control and sports performance. His work bridges clinical, sports, and cognitive neuroscience domains.

Recent publications highlight innovations like VR-based motor training for DCD and the Prosthesis Task Load Index (PROS-TLX). He collaborates extensively with clinicians and sports scientists, contributing to both theoretical advancements and practical interventions.
