Rachel Logue Cook, PhD

Rachel came to The University of Michigan in the Fall of 2018 as a Movement Science Master's student after graduating with a B.S. in Kinesiology from San Diego State University in San Diego, California. Her lab work focuses on comparing the contribution of the Posterior Parietal Cortex to Motor Cortex pathway using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and upper limb function in aging populations. Rachel graduated with her Master's in Movement Science in the Spring of 2019 and is now in the Kinesiology PhD program working with Dr. Brown in understanding and improving the assessment of upper limb function in aging populations.
