Ruth Rath, PhD candidate in the School of Kinesiology and member of the Affordance Perception-Action Laboratory (APAL), was awarded a travel grant from the School to attend the International Conference on Perception and Action (ICPA). The event will be held in Groningen, the Netherlands from July 3 – 6, 2019.

Rath will present two posters, “The role of chromaticity in postural control mechanisms” and “Postural time-to-contact as a precursor of visually induced motion sickness,” at the conference. Thomas Stoffregen, PhD, professor in the School and director of APAL, and Nicolette Peterson, doctoral student and APAL lab member, will also attend ICPA 2019.

“I have never left the country before and I’m absolutely thrilled!  A special thanks to the School of Kinesiology for helping make this happen.”
