Dr. Matthew Scott

Biography

Matthew Scott is an Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University, directing the Motor Cognition and Neuroscience Behavior Lab. His research focuses on the dynamic interplay between action and perception. He has a specific interest in understanding how individuals learn skills and adapt their behavior by imagining performing movements while observing them. The lab employs neuroimaging techniques, such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy and functional magnetic resonance imaging, alongside behavioral techniques like eye tracking. Scott's work aims to bridge the gap between neurophysiology and behavior, with research targeting motor learning rehabilitation, applied across diverse populations, including children with developmental coordination disorder and adults recovering from strokes. His research endeavors contribute to optimizing mental practice techniques for motor learning.
