Professor Miall has been studying sensorimotor control for about 35 years, from his PhD in locusts, to crayfish, primates and for about 20 years he has been working exclusively on human sensory and motor systems. He is particularly interested in the role of the cerebellum, in sensory motor learning and in predictive control, and the impact of somatosensory loss on movement and cognition.

Qualifications

  • B.Sc. (Imperial, London, 1977)
  • Ph.D. (Imperial, London, 1980)

Teaching

Professor Miall has recently taught a first year module, Introduction to Learning, a second year course on the Neural Control of Movement, and he teaches on the MSc courses in Brain Imaging and Cognitive Neuroscience and in Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Robotics.

Postgraduate supervision

Chris Miall is interested in supervising doctoral researchers in topics related to sensory-motor control, motor learning and the function of the cerebellum. Suitable candidates should be knowledgeable about neuroscience and interested in quantitative analysis of behaviour.

Other activities

Professor Miall has served on the board of the Society for the Neural Control of Movement for three terms, is a member of the Society for Research on the Cerebellum, of the British Neuroscience Association, and the Society for Neuroscience.

He has held Research Fellowships from the MRC, Wolfson College Oxford, Kings College Cambridge, the Wellcome Trust and the Royal Society-Leverhulme Trust (2017-2018). In 2011 he was elected a Fellow of the British Psychological Society.

He will hold a Leverhulme Emeritus Fellowship in 2021.

He served on the MRC Neuroscience and Mental Health Board (NMHB) from 2015-2019.
