Full Description:: Join us for two talks.

'Early brain responses to visual targets for reaching are differentially modulated by reward and frequency ' by Prof Tim Carroll from the UQ School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences (HMNS). This presentation describes a study on how reach behaviour and brain responses to target presentation were affected by presenting one of four potential targets more frequently than its alternatives, and by providing a larger reward for hitting one of four potential targets.

'Evidence to Practice: New models of nutrition care improve outcomes for patients with head and neck cancer' by A/Prof Judy Bauer from HMNS. A/Bauer will describe a randomized controlled trial that improved patient-related outcomes (nutritional status, quality of life, treatment interruptions) during radiation therapy (RT) using a novel method of training dietitians to deliver motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioural therapy to improve nutritional behaviours in patients with head and neck cancer.
