Biography

Christopher Steele is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Concordia University, specializing in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. His research focuses on training-related neuroplasticity, investigating the electrophysiological foundations of motor control, and the cerebellum's function, structure, and connectivity. Steele employs advanced imaging techniques, such as functional MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging, to study white matter architecture and its implications in conditions like stroke and Alzheimer's disease. He has contributed significantly to the field through his work on quantitative assessment methods for white matter disconnection and image segmentation. In addition to his research, Steele is actively involved in teaching various courses related to neuroanatomy and sensation perception while also leading workshops on advanced neuroimaging techniques. His work aims to bridge the gap between experimental findings and systems-level cognitive neuroscience, utilizing programming for image processing development.
