Allie is a PhD researcher in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Cambridge in the Plasticity Lab. Her research focuses on motor learning and proprioception. Her work is informed by her background as a yoga teacher, where she developed techniques to build awareness of muscle use.
She and her team have created a closed-loop, non-invasive wearable biofeedback system to support training for pelvic floor dysfunction, a condition affecting around 1 in 3 women and millions of men. The system uses surface sensors to measure muscle engagement and provide real-time feedback during everyday movement. With her cofounders, she is developing an accessible wearable platform for rehabilitation and training across muscle systems, focusing on brain-based training rather than just muscles.
