Dr. Joseph McIntryre holds bachelor’s degrees in Engineering (1982) and in Biology (1983) from the California Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience from MIT (1990). He has carried out fundamental research on multisensory integration and the control of movement, first as a post-doc at the College de France in Paris and at the Fondazione Santa Lucia in Rome, and then as a research scientist with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in France. His research has focused on questions of
(1) how the nervous system regulates the forces and torques applied by the hand when interacting with the physical environment and (2) how the brain integrates information from multiple sensory organs (eyes, proprioceptors, inner ear) to provide optimal estimation of the body’s posture in space and robust predictive control of movement. In collaboration with neuroscientists, engineers, therapists and clinicians he contributes with theoretical underpinnings and basic knowledge to future clinical and technological developments in the fields of surgical and rehabilitation robotics.
In January 2014 Dr. McIntyre accepted an Ikerbasque Research Professorship to work with
Tecnalia's Health Division on the development of robotic technologies for health, while at the same time continuing his efforts in fundamental research into human multi-sensory integration and motor control through projects with the CNRS in France and with the French (CNES), European (ESA) and American (NASA) space agencies.
