Atlanta Science Festival

We had so much fun talking to kids at the Atlanta Science Festival! Our chapter thinks it is so important to get children involved and excited about science. We were so happy to once again put on a joint booth with GA Tech’s HFES Chapter! We presented pictures of bad designs and had the children find what was wrong with the pictures and how they could redesign them to fix the problems.

“Swaying the audience: Postural precursors of motion sickness”

Hi everyone!

Please join us this Friday (March 25th) at 2:00pm in Brackett 419 for a very exciting guest speaker, L. James (Jay) Smart, Jr., Ph.D
from Miami University!

“Swaying the audience: Postural precursors of motion sickness”

Synopsis: In recent years there has been increasing evidence that motion sickness should be thought of as a movement disorder rather than a perceptual disorder. Previous research (Smart et al. 2014) has shown that the postural sway of people who will eventually become motion sick exhibit different sway patterns than people who remain well prior to symptoms. Our current research is examining whether there is something inherently disruptive about these sway patterns and can they be used to predict motion sickness in real time
