About the Speaker
Dr. Kirton is Professor of Pediatrics and Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Calgary and an attending Pediatric Neurologist at the Alberta Children’s Hospital. He holds the Dr. Robert Haslam Chair in Pediatric Neurology. Dr. Kirton’s research focuses on applying neurotechnologies to generate new opportunities for life participation for children with severe disabilities. He directs the Calgary Pediatric Stroke Program (perinatalstroke.com, @PedStrokeYYC) and ACH Brain Computer Interface Laboratory (BCI4kids.com, @BCI4kids).
Dr. Kirton's vision is to ensure children with physical disabilities have access to brain computer interfacetechnology that can increase their independence and participation in the world around them. When he is not seeing patients or leading his research teams, Adam loves skiing, golfing and biking.
