Vincent graduated with a BS in Physics and Physiology from McGill University, and then joined the lab as a BME PhD student in 2001.
He discovered that statistics of error experiences during motor adaptation can fundamentally alter how the brain learns motor control. He completed his PhD in 2007 and subsequently became a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University in the laboratory of John Krakauer, where he discovered the role of reinforcement learning in motor adaptation. He then took up a position as Scientific Analyist at Thomson Reuters. He is currently a senior research scientist at Surgo Foundation.
