Jürgen Konczak, Ph.D., professor of kinesiology and director of the Human Sensorimotor Control Laboratory, recently traveled to Taiwan on a five-day speaking tour where he delivered five lectures at four different universities throughout the island (Chang Gong University and National Taiwan Normal University in Taipeh; National Taichung University and National Cheng Kung University in Tainan).

The audiences were faculty, clinicians, and students of occupational and physical therapy as well as faculty and students of two teacher training programs. Konczak presented excerpts of his research on Parkinson’s disease and lectured on the neurophysiology of human motor function. The visit was sponsored by the Taiwanese government and organized by Dr. Kuan-yi Li of Chang Gung University. Li graduated with her Ph.D., from the School of Kinesiology in 2008.
