报告人简介：

Stephen Scott, Ph.D.GSK-CIHR Chair in  NeurosciencesCentre for Neuroscience  StudiesProfessor, Dept. of Biomedical and  Molecular Sciences, Dept. of MedicineFaculty of Health  SciencesQueen’s University,  KingstonBiographyStephen Scott is a leader in the  field of sensorimotor control with formal training in both engineering and  physiology. His research program includes technology development, basic research  on voluntary motor control and clinical research on the use of robots for  neurological assessment. His basic research program uses optimal control  principles to explain how humans can make rapid and sophisticated corrective  responses during voluntary motor actions. The results of these human studies are  used to create parallel behavioural tasks in non-human primates to probe how  neural processing in cerebral cortex is related to these goal-oriented  corrections.His clinical research program  examines the potential of robotic technology as an objective approach to study  brain function and dysfunction. Ongoing collaborations explore how robots  combined with virtual reality and other technologies can quantify a broad range  of sensory, motor and cognitive impairments in various patients groups,  including stroke, traumatic brain injury, concussion, transient ischemic  attacks, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, cardiac arrest and cerebral palsy. The  long-term goal is to develop a next-generation technology for neurological  assessment.Finally, he is the inventor of the  KINARM robot and is actively involved in the continued development of advanced  technologies for use in basic and clinical research with 3 patents issued and  another 2 pending. He is Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of BKIN  Technologies that commercialises and manufacturers the KINARM robot and  associated technologies. He has authored over 80 articles in peer-reviewed  journals including many in leading journals such as Nature, Nature Neuroscience,  Current Biology and Neuron.
