Neurofeedback Study

Parkwood Institute (PI)

Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Imagining movement has shown promise for movement rehabilitation after stroke. Neurofeedback with functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) may improve the quality of imagery, thereby improving functional outcomes. The proposed study aims to determine whether fNIRS can be used as a neurofeedback tool in stroke survivors.

Movement, performance, and ADHD

Althouse Faculty of Education Building (FEB)

ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the daily lives of many children. An environment where this disorder displays itself more than others is in the classroom. A perspective that is starting to gain some traction is the use of physical activity to help improve classroom learning. We are conducting a study to identify how movement during learning impacts performance and brain activity in children with and without ADHD.
