A new approach to stroke recovery research | Kathy Ruddy | TEDxQueensUniversityBelfast
Human brains define who people are. They serve as containers for knowledge, skills, and cherished memories. They enable communication, relationships, movement, and understanding of the world. Over the course of a lifetime, one in four individuals will experience a stroke, which often results in brain damage. The consequences of this damage can have an enormous impact on quality of life, and stroke remains one of the leading causes of adult disability worldwide.Historically, scientists and clinicians believed the brain had a very limited capacity to recover. However, recent decades of research have revealed a remarkable degree of plasticity that can facilitate re-learning and rehabilitation following damage. Healthy regions of the brain can be encouraged to take on the functions of damaged areas.
This talk introduces research on new ways to interact with the damaged human brain using brain-computer interfaces to harness this intrinsic plasticity and promote better recovery. Dr Kathy Ruddy explores thought-provoking ideas for the future of neurorehabilitation, addressing conditions that affect not only the brain’s ‘hardware’ but also its ‘software.’
Dr Kathy Ruddy is a neuroscientist specialising in brain stimulation and Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) to modify neurophysiological function. Graduating with first class honours in Psychology from Queen's University Belfast in 2010, followed by a PhD in Motor Neuroscience in 2014, Kathy worked as a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zürich for three years. In 2017, work began as a postdoctoral research fellow at Trinity College Dublin, and in 2019 an Emerging Investigator Award from the Health Research Board of Ireland enabled establishment of the Translational Brain Health Lab at Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience. In 2023, Kathy joined Queen's as Senior Lecturer in Psychology. Named Irish Researcher of the Year by the Irish Research Council in 2021, Kathy has won early career awards from the Psychological Society of Ireland and Neuroscience Ireland, and the 2022 Northern Ireland Firmus Energy award for 'Inspirational Woman of the Year' in STEM.
