Stephen Harold Scott FRSC (born 5 July 1964) is a Canadian neuroscientist and engineer who has made significant contributions to the field of sensorimotor neuroscience and the methods of assessing neurological function.
Scott pursued his scientific career as a post-doctoral fellow(1993-1995) and then as a chercheur adjoint(1995-1997) at the Université de Montréal.
During his time at Queen's University, he developed the KINARM, a robotic device that objectively and quantitatively assesses the sensorimotor and cognitive impairments associated with a range of damages and diseases.
Scott was the 2012 recipient of the Barbara Turnbull Award, which recognizes outstanding research into spinal cord injury in Canada.
[5] In 2022, Scott was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada for his work understanding the computational, neural, mechanical and behavioural aspects of voluntary motor control.
