The Advances in Acquired Brain Injury Conference took place May 8-9 at the Hamilton Convention Centre.
This conference was attended by Rehabilitation Professionals, Psychologists, Physicians, Program Planners, Insurance and Legal Representatives and Advocates all working toward the better understanding and better rehabilitation of Acquired brain Injury.
Keynote speakers included Dr. Amir Raz who discussed “Brain Training as a Vehicle for Behavioral Intervention” and Dr. Michael Noseworthy who presented “State-of-the-Art Imaging of Acquired Brain Injury” other speakers filled the two day itinerary such as Babak Taati, Gail Simpson, Kim Carey and Aaron Stiller. The technology room boasted new machines like the neurotracker.
NeuroTracker 3D Multiple Object Tracking (3D MOT) is a novel and concise measurement and training tool that elicits mental resources known to be severely degraded by the effects of concussions. It has the potential to be both a diagnostic device to assess and monitor working memory, attention and cognitive processing abilities as well as a therapeutic tool that can be used for training during the recovery process. This device promises to be a hopeful tool for ABI survivors.
