Graduate student Alisha has been awarded the Research Impact Award by the Department of Psychology (Okanagan), in recognition of a notable scientific contribution made in 2024-2025.
Her publication, titled “Transformation but not generation of motor images is disrupted following stimulation over the left inferior parietal lobe” (in Neuropsychologia) offers an important contribution to our understanding of the role of the parietal lobe in imagined movement, using an innovative design that allowed her to obtain direct evidence for this role. This publication represents a major milestone in Alisha’s academic career: it is her first first-authored paper, and reflects both the strength of her research and her commitment to the development of future researchers, as she engaged and mentored junior students throughout this project.
An open-access paper, a major career milestone, and now a department-wide award—congratulations, Alisha! We can’t wait to see what you do next. 🧠🎉
