Richard Ivry

Richard Ivry is a Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on cognition and action, particularly the neural mechanisms underlying sensorimotor learning, motor adaptation, and cerebellar function. Affiliated with UC Berkeley's Department of Psychology, his work integrates behavioral experiments, neuroimaging, and computational modeling.

Education:

• PhD in Psychology from the University of Oregon

Research Interests:

• Cerebellar contributions to motor control and prediction
• Implicit and explicit learning processes
• Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (e.g., TMS, kTMP)
• Neural basis of timing and temporal predictions

Research Trends: Recent work emphasizes the cerebellum's role in semantic prediction, sensorimotor adaptation under attentional contexts, and novel stimulation methods like kilohertz transcranial magnetic perturbation (kTMP). Studies often involve collaborations with clinical populations (e.g., cerebellar degeneration, Parkinson's disease) to understand motor and cognitive deficits.

Awards: None explicitly listed.

Advising & Grants: No specific advisees or grant details provided. Research likely supported by institutional and external funding for experimental neuroscience.

Labs/Teams: Affiliated with UC Berkeley's motor cognition and neurophysiology research groups, though specific lab names are not mentioned.
