五、报告人简介：

Professor Jaebum Park obtained his doctoral degree from the University of Maryland, College Park, USA, with a research focus on fundamental studies to comprehend the biomechanical and control mechanisms that regulate human movement. He has investigated various biomechanical and motor control aspects in human movements during prehension using hand-held objects of different geometric shapes (e.g., rectangular objects and circular objects), and when pressing and handwriting. Through a series of experiments in the paradigms of prehension and pressing, he has been trying to understand the central nervous system (CNS) strategies to solve kinetic redundancy (i.e., more independent mechanical variables than mechanical, peripheral, and central constraints). The scope of his research has been expanded to encompass the investigation of how the central nervous system (CNS) optimizes solutions when the peripheral system involves mechanical redundancy. Additionally, the investigation focuses on the compatibility of motor variability with optimality in human motor actions. The research is performed to investigate central and peripheral adaptations in human movements to internal changes, such as aging, fatigue, injury, movement disorder, and others, as well as external changes, such as environment-related changes, including zero gravity environments in space. The objective of this research is to optimize and understand motor variability in the context of optimality. Furthermore, he is currently conducting several studies on musculoskeletal mechanisms and mathematical modeling of optimization on end-effector forces or muscle activities. The objective of these studies is to determine the application of these phenomena for individuals with movement deficits and disorders, including patients with Parkinson's disease, Olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA), cerebral palsy, and Huntington's disease, among others. Throughout the course of his professional tenure, the subject has amassed an extensive publication record, encompassing approximately 70 peer-reviewed scholarly articles. These publications have been disseminated through esteemed scientific journals, including prominent titles such as Science Robotics, Journal of Neurophysiology, Clinical Neurophysiology, Gait & Posture, Experimental Brain Research, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, Frontiers in Physiology, and Scientific Reports.

六、报告内容简介：

The movements of biological entities, including human beings, are governed by the established laws of nature and the principles of mechanics. However, numerous unknown factors complicate the prediction of human behaviors. This suggests that our comprehension of the biomechanical perspective, as it pertains to human behavior, remains deficient. In recent years, an approach to motor control has been integrated into the biomechanical framework. Consequently, establishing a connection between these two disciplines is imperative to expand our understanding of human behavior. Furthermore, this research approach has been employed in the context of clinical field. In this lecture, I will introduce a few examples of how two fields of studies, biomechanics and motor control, could be combined to answer challenging research questions to some extent. These examples will include the studies with the individuals with Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, cerebellum atrophy, stroke, Huntington’s diseases. Particular, l demonstrate how combined approaches could offer a sensitive biomarker for the early detection of neurological disorders.
