general updates, trainees in the spotlight

Springing into summer

It was a full team effort during the winter days of data collection, and we’re feeling grateful for the hands, minds, and ideas that keep this lab moving forward.

Spring brought a fantastic opportunity to connect with and learn from colleagues, and to share preliminary findings from our work:

3 day meeting on knoweldge translation in motor control

We hosted a three‑day meeting on knowledge translation in motor control with Drs. Welsh (U of T), Neyedli (Dalhousie), Manson (Queen’s), and Karlinksy (Cal State U San Bernardino). At this meeting, we also began developing a pre-conference workshop for the Canadian Society for Psychomotor Learning and Sport Psychology. Stay tuned!

Attending Neural Control of Movement

In spring, we attended some excellent sessions at the Neural Control of Movement, where former PDF Matt Scott presented work showing that we can simultaneously represent observed and imagined actions, and where we had a chance to observe expert motor control in action!

The upcoming Canadian Stroke Congress

We’re excited to share that PDF Justine will be presenting her recent work at the Canadian Stroke Congress, on how motor imagery can help make steadier hand and arm movements after stroke.

Come find us at P2.F.98!

We also celebrated the successful MSc defense of AnnaMae and honour’s theses presentations from Sofia and Marlo! And to top it all off, PhD student Alisha received the Department of Psychology’s Outstanding Student Award recognizing her energy, dedication, and leadership in the Department!

And now, summer is here! More to come as the season unfolds!
