The Brain Intertwined - Cognition, Emotion, and Movement

Different brain regions play distinct roles in processes of movement anticipation, preparation and execution. Interaction of these regions enables smooth movements in everyday life. Importantly, these interactions are improved by both professional athlete and rehabilitative training. Many motor brain regions are also involved in cognitive and emotional processes. Specific brain-based training programs can be created for expertise, everyday wellness and rehabilitation to support healthy cognition, emotion and movement. During the workshop, we learn how different brain regions interact to create complex continuous movements. We understand how movement can be used in enhancing cognitive performance and emotional well-being.
