David P. Ostry

David P. Ostry is a neuroscientist and economist who studies how humans develop and control movement, as well as the physical and neural factors involved in balance and coordination. His research explores how our nervous system adapts to improve motor skills, and how sensory feedback contributes to motor learning. Ostry’s work helps us understand fundamental processes behind physical training, rehabilitation, and skill acquisition, bridging neuroscience and economics to better grasp how humans optimize movement and decision-making in complex environments.
