Comments: Former Director Scott Frey is now a faculty member at the University of Missouri in Columbia. Scott received a Masters degree from Harvard in 1987 in Human Development and a Ph.D. from Cornell in Experimental Psychology in 1993. His current work explores the neural bases of perception and action in humans, with particular attention to complex manual skills such as prehension, tool use and gesture. A major focus of this work is to advance our understanding of how brain organization is affected by upper limb paralysis or amputation as well as the role that cognitive training and/or use of prostheses might play in functional reorganization. His approach is to seek convergent evidence through psychophysical, functional (fMRI) and structural MRI, and MRI-guided transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies of healthy and patient populations.
