At the 18th International Conference on Perception and Action, graduate and undergraduate research assistants in the Affordance Perception-Action Laboratory presented on many different topics.

APAL doctoral candidate Eric Haaland gave a talk on his dissertation research, under the title “Postural kinematics in support of affordance perception.”

Several graduate students also presented posters. Justin Munafo presented two posters: “The horizon affects postural sway in older adults on land” and The horizon affects postural sway in older adults at sea.” Frank Koslucher presented research on “Sex and task differences in pre-motion sickness postural control.” “Tablet Computers: Sex Differences in Body Sway and Motion” was presented by Ruixuan Li. Two undergraduate research assistants, Meg Diedrich and Zach Polhkamp, presented a posted “The Oculus Rift is Sexist.”

School of Kinesiology professors Thomas Stoffregen and Michael Wade not only hosted and organized the ICPA XVIII, but also advised many of the student projects.
