Sheree McCormick

Dr. Sheree McCormick is a Research Fellow at Manchester Metropolitan University specializing in cognitive neuroscience and rehabilitation. Her research examines motor simulation processes including action observation and motor imagery, with applications in stroke and Parkinson's disease rehabilitation. She investigates how visual attention mechanisms measured through eye-tracking metrics correspond during physical actions, mental imagery, and observation tasks.

Her research portfolio includes developing and evaluating psychosocial interventions for Parkinsonian dementias, particularly investigating caregiver burden and relationship dynamics in neurodegenerative conditions. She has led clinical trials testing the feasibility and efficacy of cognitive stimulation therapies adapted for Parkinson's patients.

Recent publications demonstrate her methodological expertise in psychometric evaluation of caregiver assessment tools, qualitative exploration of spousal experiences in neurodegenerative diseases, and neurophysiological investigations of motor simulation. Her work bridges theoretical motor control research with clinical applications in neurorehabilitation.
