Sean Meehan, PhD, serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences, having joined the department in summer 2018 after previously holding an assistant professorship at the University of Michigan's School of Kinesiology from 2011 to 2018. His academic career focuses on elucidating neural mechanisms underlying skilled motor behavior and sensorimotor integration. Professor Meehan's research program investigates how the brain transforms sensory inputs into precise motor commands, with particular emphasis on circuit-level adaptations during skill acquisition and cognitive modulation through attention allocation. Utilizing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG), his work bridges fundamental neuroscience with clinical applications in brain injury rehabilitation, examining mechanistic changes in sensorimotor processing following acquired neurological damage. Analysis of his 2020-2025 publications reveals dominant research trajectories in concussion neurophysiology, neural plasticity in motor circuits, and attention-motor interactions. His studies consistently employ TMS to probe cortical excitability dynamics, with significant contributions to understanding sport-related concussion effects, cerebellar modulation of motor adaptation, and neurodevelopmental aspects of pediatric motor skills, demonstrating strong translational potential for rehabilitation protocols.
