Starting today’s #GRADflix training session with past competitor Sia Izadi addressing the group. He says: “I didn’t know the impact this competition would have... I had so many emails from different countries with people who saw my video asking if I wanted to collaborate.”

Congratulations to @muktisensebrain lab member Sia Izadi on successfully defending his MSc thesis today entitled "The relationship between heart rate and self-reported sickness in commercially available virtual reality environments"!!!

Excited for another first of school! University of Waterloo @UWaterlooKin @ahswaterloo #UWaterloo

For our final #KHSFeatureFriday of the Winter 2023 term, we are highlighting PhD candidate Siyavash Izadi Sohktabandani! Siyavash previously completed his Bachelor's and Master's degrees at #UWaterlooKHS. His research as a #KHSGradStudent focuses on motion sickness.

Siyavash continues to look at motion sickness in his PhD. He is currently examining how an individual's sensory re-weighting changes with exposure to a sickening virtual environment. The aim is to see if an individual’s sensory re-weighting is responsible for motion sickness.

Outside of his PhD research, Siyavash is passionate about video creation and knowledge translation. He combines these two into a YouTube channel which focuses on making neuroscience concepts accessible to the general public! Check out his channel here: youtube.com/@vashtag

Catch Dr. Michael Barnett-Cowan 🇨🇦 in an upcoming CTV Kitchener segment talking about Virtual Reality and Cybersickness

Sia Izadi presenting at #SOMBS2023! Exciting new work on understanding multisensory determinants of sensory reweighting in virtual reality

Just another day at the MBClab!

Sia Izadi will be presenting his #csbbcs2023 poster today at #48 entitled THE ROLE OF SENSORY REWEIGHTING IN CYBERSICKNESS SUSCEPTIBILITY IN VIRTUAL REALITY

Had a great time presenting mine and Dr. Michael Barnett-Cowan 🇨🇦’s work titled “Individual Differences in Cybersickness Development: The Role of Sensory Reweighting in VR” at #SfN23 Society for Neuroscience (SfN)! Met a a lot of great people and talked cool science 🧠

April Fools!
