European Journal of Neuroscience

One of our brilliant instructors and researchers, Rebecca Barnstaple, has published new work on our methods in the European Journal of Neuroscience.
“Neuroscience of dance is an emerging field with important applications related to health and well‐being, as dance has shown potential to foster adaptive neuroplasticity and is increasingly popular as a therapeutic activity or adjunct therapy for people living with conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. In this paper, we describe the process of designing and implementing a study that uses mobile brain/body imaging (MoBI) to investigate real‐time changes in brain dynamics and behaviour during the process of learning and performing a novel dance choreography. We show the potential for new insights to emerge from the coordinated collection of movement and brain‐based data, and the implications of these in an emerging field whose medium is motion.”
