NeuroLab in the news

  "Hello, this is my penis", Urbania's latest documentary, features UQAM's NeuroLab in the measurement of physiological reactions in women caused by unsolicited photos of the male sex. The host, Kim Lévesque Lizotte, multiplies scientific and social perspectives to emphasize sex education. A documentary with a daring title, but whose subject is treated with great delicacy.

NeuroLab evolves by addressing a new theme: eco-anxiety. We have developed an experimental prototype that could illustrate psychophysiological manifestations of anxiety related to climate change. The full show, featuring subject matter experts, will air in the spring.

In recent years, interest for educational neuroscience has increased considerably. Is this growing enthusiasm justified? To a certain extent, say UQAM researchers Line Laplante and Julien Mercier. There are possibilities to better understand learning disabilities and design better interventions, but this recent discipline is far from being a panacea. See article in French

Nine professors from UQAM have received more than 3.2 millions of dollars at the last competition of the Canada Foundation for Innovation (John-R.-Evans Leaders' Fund), in order to strenghten research in domains such as cancer treatment, popular culture in Quebec, and learning processes.
