Project title
Spatial updating and domain expertise: the case of dancers - SPADE
Funding Program
Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation
Start date
January 1, 2018
Expected Completion
2021-12-31
Description
Previous research on domain expertise in spatial reasoning has documented that some individuals such as dancers, can acquire spatial information more easily than others due to skills (e.g., control of optical flow) they had developed from practicing in certain tasks. This project aims to explore in a more systematic fashion spatial skills in experienced and novice dancers using neuroimaging methods (MRI scanning) and tasks in Virtual Reality.
