71 – Virtual Environments for Training & Understanding Sports Skills III: Altering Reality for Research Aug 01, 2017

Show notes

How have researchers used virtual environments to distort reality, disobey gravity, create conflicting feedback, and alter an athlete's perception in the name of science? How have they effectively brought rate events in sports into the lab?

67 – Virtual Environments for Training & Understanding Sports Skills I: Why, How and When? Jul 04, 2017

Show notes

What are the potential advantages of using virtual environments (VE) to train and study sports skills? How should a VE be evaluated? How important is fidelity, presence, and cost? When is the best time to use a VE in relation to skill level and physical training? Why haven't VE's been more widely adopted?

65 – Body Awareness, Kinaesthetic Sensitivity & Proprioceptive Training Jun 20, 2017

Show notes

How important is feel or body awareness in sports? How can we assess kinaesthetic sensitivity and proprioceptive acuity in athletes and can these be improved through training? How does it influence an athlete's ability to implement technical changes?

Level of competitive success achieved by elite athletes and multi-joint proprioceptive ability

Exploring the kinaesthetic sensitivity of skilled performers for implementing movement instructions

Examining the Effects of Proprioceptive Training on Coincidence Anticipation Timing, Reaction Time and Hand-Eye Coordination

64 – Intermittent Vision: How Much Do We Need to Be Able to See To Act? Jun 13, 2017

Show notes

How well can we integrate samples from a visual scene (e.g. when an outfielder is trying to catch a fly ball and has to look from the ball to the wall and back)? How long of a view do we need and what interval between samples can we tolerate? Does training to perform under such intermittent conditions result in improvements and transfer to performance in full vision conditions?

Show notes

News: A look at a few recent articles in the area of motor learning and performance. Can skill execution be improved by combining self and expert models in video feedback? How do combat athletes using affordance to control interpersonal distance? How can we determine the degree to which the decisions made by teammates are coordinated?

62 – Interview with Stephanie Rossit, East Anglia, How the Brain Supports Perception & Action May 30, 2017

Show notes

A discussion with Stephanie Rossit, Lecturer in Psychology from the University of East Anglia in the UK. We discuss 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.
