And the reno is done!

Posted on by

At long last, our lab renovation is complete! As they say, good things come to those who wait, and this is no exception. Members of the lab are excited to have a new, modern space – in total, the lab features approximately 2400 sq ft of space, including 3 behavioural suites for experiments, a dedicated area for brain stimulation work, and a new student space. Great features include a change room, white board walls and new storage for our high performance computing. Looking forward to a lot of great work in the coming years! Stay tuned for a lab opening party…

RIO Meeting

Posted on by

Members of the lab are just returning from Bielefeld, Germany, where they attended the annual meeting of the Research in Imagery and Observation (RIO) group. The two day meeting featured poster and oral presentations related to research in imagery and observation, and included an invited talk by lab director Shaun Boe. PhD students Sarah Kraeutner and Jack Solomon also presented work on assessment in motor imagery, as well as the neural processes underlying motor planning in motor imagery. A great meeting not only for the talks, but the formation of future collaborations with RIO members. Even a bit of time to squeeze in some drinks in Frankfurt! Looking forward to seeing everyone again in Teeside in 2019.

A sporting good time!

Members of the lab recently entered into a friendly wager with colleagues from the ActionLab and the CaMP Lab, with the winner of some different games being hosted for lunch by the losers. Games included Goal Ball, Dodgeball and Soccer (with a rugby ball!). Good times were had by all, and the lab looks forward to making lunch for the members of the Action and CaMP Labs (yes, we lost…).

An afternoon with the Prez…

Members of the lab recently hosted Dalhousie’s President, Richard Florizone, for drinks at the new Stillwell Beer garden. Great conversation ensued, including discussion related to the student experience (good and bad), the future of the University, and of course Tony’s shirt (which featured black and white lemurs if you look closely!). A huge thanks to Richard for being an open and accessible President!

Brain Awareness Week

Posted on by

Another great Brain Awareness Week here at Dalhousie. Members of the lab were busy this week at different events, including the Brain Fair, where neuroscience labs provided demonstrations and hands-on fun and games for people of all ages. LBRF members helped students with their TMS target practice as well as controlling a robot with their brainwaves!
