Lecture expert: Professor Zhu Qin
Professor Zhu Qin serves as the Director of the Wisdom and Action Laboratory and the Director of the International Exchange Program of the Department of Human Science and Health of Sports at the University of Wyoming. His main research direction is the learning and control of motor skills. Using the theory and research methods of the unity of knowledge and action, he has conducted a series of experimental studies on the control and learning of functional movements in life, movement and rehabilitation. It includes environmental availability, human throwing skills, the influence of visual hallucinations on motor control, coordination in movement, and rehabilitation of motor skills. The above research was funded by NIH and NSF in the United States, and accumulated nearly $1.57 million. His research results span multiple fields such as sports science, psychological science and brain science. At the same time, Professor Zhu also serves as an editorial board member and reviewer for several academic journals, as well as a reviewer for the NIH and NSF special funds. Recently, the real-time motion capture and analysis technology developed in virtual reality developed in his lab was certified by the U.S. Patent Office and received a NIH Special Research Grant for Innovation and Translation.
