Maurice Smith

Maurice Smith is a Professor of Bioengineering at Harvard University, affiliated with the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. His primary teaching area is Bioengineering, and he is associated with the Neuromotor Control Lab. His research interests include computational neuroscience, control theory, and biomechanics. Smith's work explores the neural mechanisms underlying motor control and learning, with applications in robotics and biomedical engineering. His research has contributed to understanding memory processes in motor learning and the brain's ability to adapt to uncertainty.

Maurice Smith is a computational neuroscientist at Harvard University, focusing on motor control, motor learning, and the neural mechanisms underlying adaptive behavior. His research explores how the brain integrates sensory feedback, predicts movement outcomes, and adapts to environmental changes. By combining computational models with experimental studies, Smith investigates the role of variability in motor learning and the dynamics of short- and long-term adaptation. His work also examines the impact of neurological disorders on motor control, such as Huntington's disease and cerebellar degeneration. Smith's research bridges theoretical and empirical approaches to understand how the brain learns and executes motor tasks.
