Scott Kelso, PhD
Glenwood and Martha Creech Chair in Science, Florida Atlantic University
Dr. Scott Kelso (an ageing father of four) is known internationally for his work on the science of coordination, coordination dynamics, a multidisciplinary approach aimed at understanding how patterns of coordination form, adapt, persist and change in living things at multiple levels of description. His current research uses the latest brain imaging technologies to study prospectively how the brain recovers function after traumatic injury and how humans learn and interact socially (social coordination dynamics). In 1985, with support from the National Institute of Mental Health, Dr. Kelso founded one of the first institutes devoted to research and graduate training in complexity science, The Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences. PhD Graduates from the Center have gone on to careers in some of the top academic and research institutions in the world, a fact that Dr. Kelso is especially proud of. In 1995, Dr. Kelso wrote Dynamic Patterns: the Self-Organization of Brain and Behavior (MIT Press). His new book (with former student David Engstrom), The Complementary Nature,
offers a scientific account of why we tend to perceive the world in dichotomies, and how they may be reconciled. Dr. Kelso is a Fellow of APA, APS and AAAS and serves on the Scientific Advisory Board of Plexus Institute.
