Marie Martel is a cognitive neuroscientist at Royal Holloway, University of London, who specialises in understanding how the brain controls imagined and real movements performed with the hand or a tool, and how this develops with age. During this podcast she chats to Lou about a piece of work looking at how children with Dyspraxia / Developmental Coordination Disorder use tools to perform movements and how this interacts with the representation they have of their body.
