Abstract

Abstract To explore possible new directions for sensorimotor research, we created experiential workshops for people with lived experience. Seven people with Parkinson's and six older autistic adults attended artist‐led drop‐in art‐science workshops, designed with advisors with lived experience. Open‐ended activities based on sensorimotor experiments provoked spontaneous and unexpected conversations between visitors and researchers about their experiences of movement and the body. We invite others to apply this informal playful approach, which was both enjoyable and effective in generating future research ideas.

Bibliography cited by this reference

Cited references are imported from external metadata sources when they are available. The list may be partial.

Cited bibliography overview

These indicators describe the bibliography cited by this publication. An author name is counted each time it appears in one cited reference, so the same person can be counted more than once. Names not yet linked to an author already present in AutiHub are treated as unknown, not as non-autistic. Last computed: 23 Oct 2026 01:01.
