RIO 2018 was on 12 and 13 April at CITEC in the beautiful location of Bielefeld University in Germany
This was a two-day event with a combination of oral and poster sessions on imagery and observation.
This year our invited speakers for the event were:
- Professor Cathy Craig from Queen’s University, Belfast (link).
How immersive, interactive virtual reality can help us understand decision-making in sport
- Dr Shaun Boe from Dalhouise University, Canada (link).

Observation and imitation in Parkinson’s disease
Workshop at The University of Manchester (2016)
Observing or imitating another person’s movement can have a powerful effect on our own movements. This one-day workshop was to consider how these processes are affected in Parkinson’s and whether they may be harnessed to facilitate movements.
Through this workshop we brought together researchers, physiotherapists, clinicians, practitioners and people affected by Parkinson’s to share the latest research on action observation and imitation in Parkinson’s, and to discuss ideas for potential therapeutic applications.
Guest speakers included Professor Giovanni Buccino (University of Parma) presenting his research on action observation therapy, and Dr Emma Stack (Southampton University) giving an overview of physiotherapy and cueing methods in Parkinson’s rehabilitation.
