During Summer 2020, Stephanie Rossit, Helen Morse, Annie Warman, and Alex Mitchell put on their trainers and ran, jogged and walked to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK.

Inspired by the lab’s recent work with people with Alzheimer’s Disease and the devastating effect of the pandemic on funding for charities, the team pledged to run 500km over 10 weeks and raise £500. We smashed our initial target, covering over 800km, and raised a total of £901.83 for vital dementia research.

Well done team and thank you to everyone who donated!

Our trial testing efficacy of Visuomotor feedback training for spatial neglect rehab post-stroke was rated high quality amongst 45 studies and showed ‘large effect sizes in both mental function and, activity.’

Courtney Mansfield has been accepted into the CVR summer school at the University of York in Toronto, Canada. The program involves talks on a variety of vision science research topics as well as hands on experience in the CVR labs.

Ethan Knights received an award for his abstract about his PhD research and presented at Concepts, Actions & Objects workshop 2018 at Rovereto in Italy.

Funding secured from British Academy with Dr Fraser Smith (PI) for investigating ‘Does predictive coding explain multisensory processing in primary somatosensory cortex?’

The lab will be attending the Vision Sciences Society this year with one talk and two poster presentations. Stephanie excited to chair a talk session at VSS – come and meet us.

Funding secured from UEA Innovation Proof of concept funding to work with the Virtual Reality company Evolve and Prof. Valerie Pomeroy (UEA) to develop novel tools for diagnosis and rehab of neglect.

Stephanie has become a committee member of the British Psychological Society East of England branch and is organising the branch’s annual conference at University of East Anglia on 18th September. 

Stephanie is excited she will be going on study leave (sabbatical) from 1st July.

Ethan Knights has been invited to give a talk at the EPS workshop at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, 29 June 2018. Register to attend for free. 

Ethan Knights received a travel award to give a talk at this year's annual meeting.

Congratulations to Ethan Knights for receiving a travel award to present work at the Concepts, Actions & Objects workshop in Rovereto, Italy.

Dr. Stephanie Rossit will be speaking about the relationship between attention and action at the symposia ‘From Vision to Action:
Sensorimotor Dysfunction in Neurological Disease organized by Miriam Spering & Jutta Billinoat in Berlin in August.

Diana Tonin described her latest fMRI guided TMS research at VSS. 

Diana Tonin awarded one of ten travel awards to give a talk at this years annual meeting.

Congratulations to Diana Tonin whose abstract for the 2017 Roverto CAOs workshop has received a high rating and earned her an award for the presentation in May.

Hear an interview with Dr. Stephanie Rossit on how the brain supports perception & action where she discusses perceptual and action related deficits in visual neglect, brain areas associated with online and offline control of action, her recent work with patient DF that challenges some well know previous findings, and her research examining ways to rehabilitate neglect patients.

Dr. Stephanie Rossit will be giving a talk entitled “Learning to see again after brain Injury” on May 15th at the Pint of Science, Nimble Neurons event in Café Britannia Guildhall, Norwich.
