A machine learning approach to concussive group classification using discrete outcome measures from a low-cost movement-based assessment system Measurable neuromotor control deficits during functional task performance could provide objective criteria to aid in concussion diagnosis. However, ma…

So excited to share the first publication from my dissertation! Here we used a novel low-cost measurement system to accurately classify athletes with and without concussion based on measures of neuromotor control. Go check it out!

What better way to kick off #ISB2025 than co-moderating a session with one of the greats!

I have agreed to chair Models and Motor Control at ISB (tuesday morning). I'm looking for a co-chair who is student/postdoc in this area. If you have a mentee or person to suggest please let me know!

Countermovement Jump Performance Is Altered by Visual and Auditory Cognitive Dual Tasking in Recreationally Active Young Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study In sports settings, it is important to understand and assess the effects of cognitive–motor interference on sport-specific tasks throughout strength and conditioning programs to better represent the a...

I am so excited share that this study, which uses low-cost assessment technology to look at motor control deficits in individuals with post-acute concussion diagnoses, has just been published in IJSPT. This was a very fun team effort and served as excellent pilot work for my dissertation.

Congrats Austin- they are lucky to have you!

Trying to cognitively prime you for your claim to be left “unresolved” as well, no doubt.
