Christy Jones MSc

Christy is a PhD student in the Graduate Program in Rehabilitation Sciences. Christy completed her undergraduate training in Kinesiology at UBC and at the Queensland University of Technology and her Master’s degree in Neuroscience at McMaster University. Her past research has looked at neuroplasticity in healthy and clinical populations using non-invasive brain stimulation as well as balance and gait in Parkinson’s disease. Currently, she is interested in using neurotechnology and portable devices for rehabilitation of individuals following stroke. Her thesis is focused specifically on how we can use EEG-based biomarkers as objective measures of motor function. She is currently completing a Mitacs Accelerate Fellowship with a Surrey-based health technology company, HealthTech Connex.

When not in the lab, you can find her in the mountains, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking and skiing and is always happy to share her love of these activities with anyone who is interested!
