Café Scientifique is a series of informal discussions connecting research to important issues of interest to the community. Enjoy light snacks and refreshments while engaging with cutting-edge, award-winning researchers from Simon Fraser University's (SFU) Faculty of Science.

Below is the topic for February 2018:

If you’ve ever gone hiking in the mountains, walked across a sidewalk in need of repairs, or even used an interactive device such as a tablet, your brain has helped you adapt to these challenges.

Dan Marigold will discuss how the brain makes these tasks possible, what goes wrong with disease, and ways that we can enhance the brain’s ability.

Dan Marigold is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology at SFU. He runs the Sensorimotor Neuroscience Lab and is co-chair of the Behavioural Neuroscience Undergraduate Program. His research focuses on how sensory information is used to control movement in health and disease.
