Dr. Shlomi Haar is a Senior Lecturer in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Surrey and an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the Department of Brain Sciences, Imperial College London. He also serves as the Movement Data and Living Lab Lead at the UK Dementia Research Institute Care Research and Technology Centre since 2023.
- Education:
- BSc, Biomedical Engineering (Ben-Gurion University, 2007-2011)
- MSc, Biomedical Engineering (Ben-Gurion University, 2010-2012)
- PhD, Brain and Cognitive Sciences (Ben-Gurion University, 2013-2017)
Dr. Haar investigates neurobehavioural mechanisms of human movement in health and disease, with a focus on Parkinson's disease (PD) and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). His interdisciplinary research bridges engineering, neuroscience, and data science to develop Real-World Motor Neuroscience approaches through:
- Novel sensor technology
- Adaptive AI models
- Ecologically valid motor learning paradigms
- Digital biomarkers for neurodegeneration
- Closed-loop therapeutic systems
- Explainable neural network architectures
His recent 2023-2025 publications demonstrate trends in:
- Applying embodied VR for motor rehabilitation
- Quantifying cerebellar role in PD
- Developing AI-driven biomarkers from EEG/fMRI
- Validating markerless motion capture for clinical use
- Understanding motor variability in PD and DBS
- Improving clinical outcome measures for long-term trials
Scientific awards include:
- Royal Society – Kohn International Fellowship (2017-2020)
- Edmond and Lily Safra Research Fellowship (2020-present)
Dr. Haar leads the Haar Lab at Surrey, focusing on:
- Developing digital biomarkers for motor conditions
- Integrating robotics and VR in motor rehabilitation
- Creating adaptive closed-loop therapies for PD
