معرفی
Aimee Nelson is a Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster University, Canada. She obtained her BSc in Psychology from McMaster (1997) and her PhD from the University of Toronto (2003). Her research integrates non-invasive brain stimulation, electromyography and behavioural assays to investigate sensorimotor plasticity, pain syndromes, movement disorders and exercise-induced neuroplasticity.
Education:
- PhD, University of Toronto, 2003
- BSc Psychology, McMaster University, 1997
Research interests span neurophysiology of motor control, transcranial magnetic stimulation methodologies, spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, sex-hormone influences on plasticity, and development of EMG-based biofeedback technologies for rehabilitation.
Across >100 peer-reviewed articles her group has advanced understanding of afferent inhibition circuits, ipsilateral motor pathways, exercise-neuroplasticity interactions, and TMS-based therapeutics for chronic pain conditions including CRPS, fibromyalgia and diabetic neuropathy.
She currently teaches undergraduate and graduate neurophysiology courses (KINESIOL 3HN3, 4AN3, 729, 713) and maintains an active laboratory at McMaster University.
