About
Heather E. McGregor is a leading researcher in motor learning and sensory-motor integration, with a particular focus on how perceptual training and action observation enhance skill acquisition. Her most-cited work, "Somatosensory perceptual training enhances motor learning by observing" (2018, 30 citations), demonstrates that observing a tutor undergoing motor learning can trigger functional plasticity in the motor system, leading to significant gains in subsequent motor performance. This research bridges the gap between sensory perception and motor control, offering novel insights for rehabilitation and sports training. McGregor’s contributions highlight the role of somatosensory input in optimizing learning through observation, challenging traditional views that prioritize physical practice alone. Her work has been influential in shaping how researchers and practitioners design training protocols for motor skill development. With a growing citation impact, McGregor continues to advance our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying learning, making her a key voice in the field of human movement science.
