Magdalena Ietswaart's research is in the area of neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience and investigates perception and action. The research investigates how action is represented in the brain and how this knowledge can be applied clinically. Stroke patient research is at the heart of the work in her lab, but her team uses a further range of techniques including brain stimulation, motion tracking kinematic analysis, eye-tracking, simple dexterity / cognitive testing, reaction time experiments, and brain imaging with normal aged and brain injured participants.
