Full Description:: Join us for two talks.

'Research in precision nutrition: Complexities and applications ' by Dr Veronique Chachay from the UQ School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences (HMNS). This presentation will describe precision nutrition as a new approach in research, and Single Case Experimental Designs (SCEDs) as a robust research framework to assess individual response. SCEDs will be used in an intervention with Motor Neuron Disease patients to mitigate disease-related weight loss.

Pushing attention towards a side: How sensorimotor adaptation modifies spatial attention ' by Dr Eva-Maria Reuter from HMNS. Eva-Maria will presents recent findings from her team, suggesting that the remapping between motor commands and intended movement direction is a crucial driver to modify spatial attention in the absence of visuo-spatial distortion or visuo-proprioceptive mismatch.

No RSVP needed. All welcome.
