Dr. Jennifer Ruttle
Biography:
Dr. Jennifer Ruttle is an assistant professor (limited term). Dr. Ruttle is an experimental psychologist specializing in the neural mechanisms of visuomotor adaptation and proprioception. With a Doctorate in Psychology from York University (2017-2023), Dr. Ruttle has conducted research on the temporal dynamics of visuomotor learning under varied conditions. Her dissertation investigated adaptation processes within sensory-motor pathways, while she also investigated shape perception organization within the brain's ventral and dorsal pathways, using behavioural and MRI techniques. Dr. Ruttle's teaching career spans multiple institutions, including York University, Seneca Polytechnic and University of Guelph-Humber, where she led courses ranging from introductory psychology to advanced seminars in memory, cognition, and neuroscience. Her scholarly contributions include numerous peer-reviewed publications and presentations at prestigious conferences such as the Society for Neuroscience.
