About
Dr. Lindsey Logan is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, whose work bridges robotics, cognitive neuroscience, and clinical assessment. Her primary research areas focus on developing quantitative robotic tools to characterize sensorimotor and cognitive deficits following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying proprioception and effort perception. In her seminal 2017 study, Dr. Logan pioneered the use of a robotic assessment platform to simultaneously quantify impairments in sensorimotor ability, visuospatial attention, working memory, and executive function in individuals with first-time TBI—a breakthrough that demonstrated how a single robotic interface can replace multiple subjective clinical scales. This work, conducted at Foothills Hospital in Calgary, has garnered 23 citations and established a new paradigm for objective, multi-domain neurological assessment. Her 2018 investigation into effort matching between arms revealed that perceived effort depends critically on relative limb geometry and the sense of personal control, challenging traditional models of proprioception. By linking centrally generated motor commands to effort perception, Dr. Logan has advanced our understanding of how the brain estimates physical exertion. Her innovative use of robotics to quantify hidden cognitive and sensory impairments is shaping the future of personalized rehabilitation and neurodiagnostics.
