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

Join us this Friday, February 26, 2016 at 2pm in Brackett 419 for Dr. Rick Tyrrell’s Professional Development Talk on Forensic Consulting.
Prof. Rick Tyrrell occasionally serves as an expert witness in the litigation of traffic crashes. In this week’s HFDG he will discuss his experiences in the world of forensic consulting. He will describe a few typical cases and then will discuss some of the many issues that become relevant when an academic who does research on safety gets involved in legal disputes that often involve injuries, fatalities, and millions of dollars. Because of the variety of topics that could be discussed, he hopes to tailor the discussion to the questions of the group. In other words, this will be a group discussion, not a presentation.
