Biography

Stephen H. Scott is a Professor in the School of Medicine at Queen's University. His research focuses on the brain regions involved in motor control learning, particularly through the development of his robotic device called KINARM, which senses perturbations in planar arm movements. His lab examines neural activity in the brain regions of non-human primates as they conduct motor behavior tasks, aiming to explore human motor performance and learning. Located at St. Mary’s Lake Hospital, his lab quantifies sensorimotor impairments in individuals with stroke and other neurological disorders. Scott’s work has been supported by significant research funds from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, among others. He has contributed to numerous publications exploring the neural basis of movement and theories of motor control, discussing findings such as the dissociation of hand motion through population vectors of neural activity in the motor cortex.
