Robert E Kearney is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at McGill University. His research primarily focuses on Human Motor Control, investigating the peripheral neuromuscular system's role in controlling posture and movement. Kearney employs system identification methods to explore critical questions regarding the mechanical properties of human joints under normal physiological conditions and mechanisms that generate mechanical behavior through intrinsic muscle properties and reflex mechanisms. Additionally, his work examines how these mechanical properties influence control over posture and movement. His research also emphasizes Biomedical System Identification and Signal Analysis, aiming to develop tools and techniques for analyzing biomedical signals and applying these systems to clinically relevant issues. Areas of application include human motor control, respiratory monitoring, and automated decision support for electronic fetal monitoring.
