Research summary
AI-generated

Zachary A. Riley studies how the human brain controls movement and learns motor skills, with a strong focus on non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS). Much of the work tests whether stimulating brain regions like the primary motor cortex and cerebellum can improve skill learning on dexterous, timing-based tasks. Some publications also address teaching and curriculum design in kinesiology and exercise science.
