Physical Intelligence Lab
Our Team's Mission
We are the Physical Intelligence Lab (PhiLab), a psychology and neuroscience research group led by Jonathan Tsay (JT), and based at Carnegie Mellon University.
Our lab's mission is to understand how humans master a near-limitless repertoire of movements, from brewing coffee to parallel parking. To achieve this, we use a wide range of methods like computational modeling, psychophysics, and patient testing.
We expect our findings to not only generate new insights into learning and memory but also optimize rehabilitation and improve human performance.
Our Favorite Movements
Our lab is fascinated by the diversity, beauty, and intricacy of human movements. Below, we showcase some of our favorites, from the precision of elite athletes to the natural grace of everyday actions.
