10.01.2022 Lab meeting today learning all about REDCap! Erica G has done some amazing work transferring our longitudinal studies across. WOOHOO!!! Its the simple things sometimes

10.01.2022 Current CAIN PhD student Danielle Greaves presented a great talk about a conducted meta-analysis into cognitive outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting surgery of data from over 11,000 patients. It sparked lots of interesting questions at the redefining healthy ageing conference. Well done Dani! #AusFoS19

10.01.2022 Fantastic to hear Jim talk about his PhD work thus far (1/2 way through). He is using VR reminisce therapy to reduce apathy in @HelpingHandAust residential aged care. Fascinating results from meta-analysis and study 1; now to start study 2!

09.01.2022 Huge congratulations to Monique Boord who passed her PhD proposal meeting today! She will be using EEG and ERP measures to characterise brain vulnerability for delirium. Now for the real work to start

09.01.2022 Colleagues at the University of Lausanne are looking for 60 English speaking participants in an online survey on word associations. Please consider participating and/or sharing the post https://quest-etu-ssp.unil.ch/index.php/792186/lang-en

09.01.2022 Colours and emotions - if you have 10-15 min please consider completing the online survey on how you associate colours with emotions. The international research study aims to investigate cross-cultural differences in conceptual links between colours and emotions. More Australian participants are needed. http://www2.unil.ch/onlinepsylab/colour/main.php

09.01.2022 We had a great time at the SA Brain Bee Finals on Friday. Congratulations to Gauri from Wilderness School for taking out the Individual Challenge; she will compete in the Australian finals in December! Congratulations to Dr Lyndsey Collins-Praino for organising the event and hosting at UAdelaide. And thanks to Daria, Monique and Scott for helping out and exhibiting some of our equipment; and to A/Prof Sarah Cohen-Woods for co-coordinating

08.01.2022 Huge congratulations to Danielle Greaves! 1st PhD paper out now - Cognitive outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 91,829 patients. https://www.internationaljournalofcardiology.com//S0167-52

08.01.2022 Have a great weekend all. Its been a big week of collaboration, grant writing, and conference presenting here at CAIN. See you next week!

08.01.2022 Were recruiting for this new study- see below for more details!

06.01.2022 Check-out this podcast starring our very own lab manager Dr Scott Coussens! All about sleep and the brain! https://amandaswellbeingpodcast.com/scott-coussens/

06.01.2022 Lyndsey Collins Praino (UAdelaide), Sarah Woods (Flinders) and Hannah (CAIN, UniSA) co-coordinate the SA Brain Bee, a neuroscience competition for year 10 students. Round 1 is an online quiz, and we then invite the top 40 to battle it out for the State Individual and Team Championships. The state winners go onto the Australian Brain Bee Championship, and the Australian champion to the International Brain Bee. Its exciting stuff! And a fantastic way to get teens (including lo...ts of young women) into science. Each year we source prize donations from local businesses, and each year it gets harder and harder. If you are, or know of, a SA business who would like to donate a prize suitable for teens (we are grateful for all donations, and acknowledge all sponsors in the program), do let any of us know. Thank you! And if you have a child nearing year 10, and dont know about this competition, do get in touch with us or ask your science teacher. #STEM4everyone https://www.ans.org.au/meeti/australian-brain-bee-challenge

06.01.2022 Huge welcome to our new PhD student Stefan Michalski. Here he is settling into his desk. He will be investigating the utility of VR in those with intellectual disabilities.
