Summary
Colin Hoy is a human neuroscientist with 11 years of experience translating invasive and noninvasive neuromodulation research into clinical applications for Parkinson’s disease and neuropsychiatric conditions. He combines expertise in signal processing, computational modeling, chronic intracranial electrophysiology, and longitudinal at-home behavioral assessment to develop and test adaptive deep brain stimulation algorithms targeting cognition, mood, and motivation. His work spans hands-on neurosurgical device studies, ultrasound neuromodulation in humans, and computational reinforcement learning approaches to dissect apathy and impulsivity. Colin also integrates neuroethics into his research to anticipate the societal impacts of emerging neurotechnology and has a track record of coordinating multidisciplinary teams across academic and industry settings. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he leverages both clinical and engineering perspectives to move therapies from concept to responsible human testing.
