February 02, 2016 20 – Imagery & Observational Learning
Exploration of ways in which an athlete can develop and enhance their sports skills without actually performing them: by using imagery and observational learning. Does mentally rehearsing or imaging yourself performing an action really make you a better athlete? Can it sometimes be a bad thing to do? What is going on in our brain when we do it? How can we improve our imagery ability? Can watching someone else perform a skill make us a better athlete? Can imagery and observational learning be used together? Imagine the possibilities!

January 26, 2016 19C – Are We Color Blind When Performing an Action? Can Collision Detection Be Trained?
News: Does using our dorsal visual stream during the control of action make us color blind? When we improve after visual perception training is it really perception that is improved?
