Dr. Julia A. Scott is director of the Brain and Memory Care Lab at Santa Clara University. The research program partners with external stakeholders--companies, clinicians, community organizations--to co-design healthcare innovation projects for numerous disciplines, from public health to engineering. The primary technologies engaged are in non-invasive brain sensing and stimulation in application to cognitive decline or impairment and neurobehavioral conditions. Successful integration of EEG derived signals into virtual reality (VR) experiences has seeded ongoing development of VR biofeedback applications that enhance the sense of presence and train self-regulatory skills. Dr. Scott received her training in neuroscience and medical imaging (UC Davis). She has published widely on normal and abnormal neurodevelopment as well as brain aging in the characterization of longitudinal change models and neuroimaging markers. She has taught a range of courses in biology and bioengineering, including physiology, neural engineering and medical imaging. She also serves as medical council lead for XRSI, which advocates for data privacy and user safety in extended reality applications in healthcare contexts. In addition, she co-founded Gambit Labs, to develop immersive and playful programs that positively reinforce adaptive brain function.
