Wrapped up an excellent Research in Imagery and Observation meeting with talks from trainee Sara Klick (motor imagery-related brain activation after stroke), and soon off for his tenure-track position Dr. Matt Scott (mechanisms of simultaneous observation and imagery of movement, or ‘AOMI’). Thanks to Dr. Robert Hardwick, the BAS lab, and UC Louvain for hosting! Pictured: NIMBL at the conference (left); NIMBL exploring beautiful Brussels before heading back to Canada (missing Matt – bottom).
We’ve arrived at UCLouvain and had a great first day at the Research in Imagery and Observation meeting. Kicked things off with an excellent symposium our ability to imagine movements. We also heard from trainees Kyle Vallido and Celine Balay, who presented on neural mechanisms of kinaesthetic vs. visual motor imagery (Kyle, photo #1), and the use of virtual reality to provide feedback during motor imagery-based learning (Celine, photo #2). Looking forward to another great line up of talks tomorrow!
Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Matthew Scott will be joining the Department of Kinesiology & Sport Management, Division of Motor Neuroscience, at Texas A&M University as an Assistant Professor this July. He is set to launch the Motor Cognition, Neuroscience and Behavior Lab! Huge congratulations Matt!
