Will Young, David Harris, Yuhan Zhang and yours truly had fun this morning running tweaked train drive files through VSimulators for potential medical rehabilitation applications.

We're supporting a PhD student project to look at whether exploratory movements are still preserved during gait initiation in the absence of visual information with eyes opened and eyes closed in healthy adults.

We are exploring the effects of anxiety on balance in simulated environments such as trains, developing a protocol to be applied to patient groups such as older people concerned about falling, people with Parkinson's Parkinson's UK and people with multiple sclerosis

CFCM's Experimental Officer Joe attended the Powerboat 2 Training Course at SeaSports South West. This training will support our projects around alternatively powered boats. Alongside Joe, this course was also attended by James Bassitt from VSimulators and Kirsty Frith in Centre for Resilience in Environment Water & Waste.

Our Senior Experimental Officer James and Experimental Officer Garry were at NIRx Medical Tech. in Berlin, learning how to use wearable device NIRSport 2, which uses Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy for brain imaging. This will be used for research at our University of Exeter facility

We hosted engineering A-level students from all over the South West in a schools outreach visit. The students experienced being on a train and a boat via our moving floor, explored underneath the platform and took part in three group tasks using the sensors and force plates.
