About
Carl P. T. Jackson is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of developmental neuroscience, sensorimotor control, and innovative assessment technologies. His primary research areas include fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), robotic rehabilitation, and bimanual motor coordination. Jackson’s most notable contribution is his pioneering use of a robotic virtual reality platform to assess sensory-motor deficits in children with FASD—a groundbreaking approach that offers more precise, quantifiable measurements than traditional clinical tools. This work, published in 2013, has garnered 34 citations and highlights the potential of technology to transform neurodevelopmental assessment. In addition, Jackson has explored the complexities of bimanual motor control, investigating how the brain compensates for velocity-dependent force perturbations during coordinated hand movements. His 2007 study on contralateral manual compensation, with 9 citations, provides foundational insights into the temporal coding of voluntary actions. By bridging engineering, robotics, and clinical psychology, Jackson’s research advances both theoretical understanding and practical tools for diagnosing and rehabilitating motor deficits in vulnerable populations.
