Tuesday's Killam Speaker: Dr. Mark Hallett
Title: Human Motor Learning
4 PM, De Grandpre Communications Centre
Refreshments served at 3:45 PM
Dear Colleagues:
It is my great pleasure to introduce you the next Killiam speaker, Dr.
Mark Hallett, senior investigator, chief of the Medical Neurology Branch
and chief of the human motor control section at the NINDS, NIH. Mark
obtained his M.D. at Harvard University, had his Neurology training at
Massachusetts General Hospital. He did his fellowships in
neurophysiology at the NIH and in the Department of Neurology, Institute
of Psychiatry in London, where he worked with C. David Marsden. His
research activities focus on the physiology of human voluntary movement
and pathophysiology of disordered voluntary and involuntary movements.
Employing different techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation
(TMS), electroencephalography (EEG) and neuroimaging (PET, fMRI), Mark
is studying brain processes associated with the preparation for movement
and the decision of what movement to make and when to make it. A good
deal of attention has been paid to the physiology of the primary motor
cortex. He has studied movement generation with different types of
movement, including sequences of movements. The topic of motor learning
has been a special concern and he has been investigating both adaptation
learning and skill learning. A major area of interest has been also
brain plasticity especially in relation to dystonia.=20
Mark is author and co-author of large number of publications. He is a
great speaker and an outstanding neuroscientist and he is looking
forward to this visit to our center. =20

Phil Barker
