APAL research to be featured in Experimental Brain Research

Two articles by Affordance Perception-Action Laboratory (APAL) researchers will be featured in Experimental Brain Research. In 2014, the impact factor for EBR was 2.036.

The first article, “Postural sway in men and women during nauseogenic motion of the illuminated environment,” is authored by Frank C. Koslucher, Justin Munafo, and professor and APAL director Thomas A. Stoffregen, PhD.

The second article, “The distance of visual targets affects the spatial magnitude and multifractal scaling of standing body sway in younger and older adults,” was written by Munafo, Christopher Curry, professor Michael G. Wade, PhD, and Dr. Stoffregen.

Koslucher (BA, PhD alumnus) is also a research and teaching assistant within the APAL. “Postural sway in men and women during nausogenic motion of the illuminated environment,” is the last of three articles to be derived from Mr. Koslucher’s PhD thesis project.

Munafo is a kinesiology doctoral candidate and is a member of the APAL. His participation in this research was supported by a DOVE Fellowship.

Curry holds a BA in Kinesiology from the U of M, where his participation in this research was supported by the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP). He will join the School of Kinesiology’s doctoral program in September.
