James R Lackner

James R Lackner is the Meshulam and Judith Riklis Professor of Physiology at Brandeis University's Department of Psychology. His research examines human adaptation to altered gravity environments and spatial disorientation mechanisms.

Education includes:

• Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology
• B.Sc. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Research focuses on motion sickness countermeasures for spaceflight and autonomous vehicles, artificial gravity systems, and vestibular function. Honored with the Tuttle Award for Aerospace Medicine Research and Fellowship in the International Neuropsychological Symposium. Projects investigate vibrotactile feedback systems for spatial orientation and balance control in variable gravity conditions.
