Interdisciplinary Science Journal Club
Interdisciplinary Science Journal Club
The Interdisciplinary Journal Club includes faculty members, post-docs, graduate and undergraduate students from the departments of Psychology & Neuroscience and Psychiatry, and the schools of Physiotherapy and Health and Human Performance. Since its launch in 2012, the group has examined research in the areas of cognitive training, cognitive rehabilitation, physical rehabilitation, motor training, eye movements, aging, attention, motor learning, spatial neglect, acute stroke, exercise, language comprehension, working memory, transcranial magnetic stimulation, functional magnetic resonance imaging, posture, Parkinson’s disease and video gaming (broadly drawn from the journals in the areas of psychology, physiotherapy, rehabilitation and motor control).
Meeting location: March Meeting @ Cognition and Motor Performance Lab - Dalplex (6260 South St, Halifax)
