COURSE DESCRIPTION
The online one-week summer university course, titled "Neuroanatomy of Motion," is designed to provide an interactive and skill-focused platform for knowledge dissemination, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies involved in human movement. The primary objective of the course is to explore the impact of specific phases of motion on the brain and spinal cord, elucidating the neurological processes involved. Additionally, the course aims to examine how the human brain perceives the motion of others, while also delving into the fundamental neurological underpinnings of reflexes that directly influence our movement.
While there are no university-based prerequisites for this course, we strongly encourage prospective applicants with an interest in kinesiology, sport sciences, psychology, human training, robotics, or engineering programs to consider applying. This recommendation extends to both individuals aspiring to enter these fields following the completion of the course and those who are already enrolled in relevant university programs.
Requiring attendees to engage in presentations for at least 80% of the course duration.
