Congratulations!

Congratulations go out to Kerry McInnes who has been awarded a Summer Studentship from the Canadian Stroke Network. She will be working on our real-time neuroimaging project, with a focus on establishing the protocol on an EEG platform.

Kerry will also be joining the lab as a MSc Rehabilitation Research student this fall. Welcome and congratulations, Kerry!

Abstracts accepted!

Congratulations to graduate students Ron, Alicia, and Sarah, as they each will be presenting posters at the Human Brain Mapping Annual Meeting this coming June in Hamburg, Germany!

Student Panelist

Graduate student Sarah Kraeutner was a panelist at “The Future’s So Bright” portion of the BioPort Atlantic in October, comprised of top student researchers from the Atlantic region discussing their work and its impact on the life sciences industry.

New Publication!

Congratulations go out to graduate student, Alicia Gionfriddo as her undergraduate honours thesis, which she completed with Allan Adkin at Brock University, has recently been accepted for publication in Gait & Posture.

Congratulations, Ron!

Congratulations go out to graduate student Ron Bishop for the successful defense of his MSc thesis proposal, “Determining the Motor Network Associated with a Unilateral Upper-Limb Task in Non-Disabled Controls Using Magnetoencephalography”. Great job, and all the best in the coming year.

Welcome!

The lab would like to extend a warm welcome to our four new students this fall:

Ross Story
MScPT (Rehabilitation Research) Candidate

Sarah Kraeutner
MSc (Psychology/Neuroscience) Candidate

Hawazin Khan
MScPT (Rehabilitation Research) Candidate

Ashley Choi
BSc (Honours in Neuroscience) Candidate

We look forward to a great year!

BrightRed Graduate Research Award

Congratulations go out to graduate student Alicia Gionfriddo, who was recently awarded a Heart and Stroke Foundation BrightRed Graduate Research Award.

Congratulations Alana!

Congratulations to graduate student, Alana Fleet, for successfully defending her MSc thesis, “Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy to Improve Upper Extremity Function Post-Stroke in Canadian Neurological Rehabilitation.”

Alana will be missed in the lab, but lab members wish her all the best as she starts medical school at Queen’s University in September.

Great work, Alicia!

The lab would like to congratulate graduate student, Alicia Gionfriddo for successfully defending her MSc thesis proposal, “Quantifying the patterns of functional connectivity within the brain during imagined movement in non-disabled and neurologically disrupted systems.”
