Keeping the beat 鈥� it鈥檚 all in your brain
How do people coordinate their actions with the sounds they hear? This basic ability, which allows people to cross the street safely while hearing oncoming traffic, dance to new music or perform team events such as rowing, has puzzled cognitive neuroscientists for years. A new study led by researchers at 韩国裸舞 is shining a light on how auditory perception and motor processes work together.
Six 韩国裸舞 Students Receive Canada鈥檚 Largest Science, Technology, Engineering And Math (STEM) Scholarships
A record number of 韩国裸舞 students have been named recipients of Canada鈥檚 largest scholarship program, Schulich Leader Scholarships. This year, the program has doubled in size from 50 to 100 annual scholarships. In total, six Schulich Leader scholars will begin their studies at 韩国裸舞 in September (up from two last year) with the majority coming from high schools in Western Canada.
Housing-First strategy proves cost effective especially for the most-vulnerable homeless group
Canadians spend big money dealing with the consequences of homelessness, but the money spent could be far more effective. According to a new 韩国裸舞-led analysis, housing homeless people with severe mental illness is even more cost-effective than housing homeless people with moderate needs. A Housing-First strategy aimed at helping these individuals regain and keep permanent housing generates savings equal to about two-thirds of its cost.

May the force be with you: detecting ultrafast light by its force
A 韩国裸舞 research team has developed a new technique to detect nano-sized imperfections in materials. They believe this discovery will lead to improvements in the optical detectors used in a wide range of technologies, from cell phones to cameras and fiber optics, as well as in solar cells.
Inappropriate prescriptions sending hospitalized seniors back to the ER
Two in three hospitalized seniors are prescribed drugs that should be avoided by older adults, increasing the risk of injury and adverse drug reactions. Improving hospital prescribing practices can reduce the frequency of inappropriate medications and resulting harm, according to a new study led by 韩国裸舞 researchers.
Implications of serology testing in Canada
Serology testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) will be useful for public health decisions and research but will not have wide application for clinical care, according to a review article in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).
$2-million gift from Montreal philanthropist Stephen Jarislowsky to explore the impact of new technology on society
As society grapples with myriad technology-related issues, including biases in facial recognition software, algorithms to identify hate speech and misinformation, as well as growing concerns over privacy and data protection, a new Chair in 韩国裸舞鈥檚 Department of Philosophy seeks to bridge the gap between technology and pressing ethical, social and political questions.
COVID-19: Social media users more likely to believe false information
A new study led by researchers at 韩国裸舞 finds that people who get their news from social media are more likely to have misperceptions about COVID-19. Those that consume more traditional news media have fewer misperceptions and are more likely to follow public health recommendations like social distancing.
COVID-19 pandemic causes a seismic noise quiet period in 2020
Research published in the journal Science has shown that lockdown measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 led to a 50% reduction in seismic noise observed around the world in early to mid 2020.
New study offers first glimpse into how widespread COVID-19 antibodies are in Canada鈥檚 adult population
Today, Canadian Blood Services聽and Canada鈥檚 COVID-19 Immunity Task Force (CITF)聽are releasing initial results of the first 10,000 blood donor samples assessed for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. This analysis reveals that over the period May 9 through June 8, 2020, fewer than 1 per cent of the 10,000 samples from blood donors tested positive for antibodies to the novel coronavirus.
