| Description | People can be trained to change their brain activity using rea.l-time auditory feedback of their cortical activity. |
| Exploitation Route | Our findings can be used by researchers wishing to develop and implement neurofeedback training protocols. |

| PI Contribution | Grounded on the successfully working relationships developed during the current 1-year small project grant, the team of researchers submitted (June, 2013) a 3-year project grant concerning cortical signatures of implict motor learning and neurofeedback training to the ESRC to extend our collaborative venture among researchers at the universities of Birmingham (Prof Ring, Dr Kavussanu), Bangor (Dr Cooke), and Hong Kong (Prof Masters). We expect to hear whether we have been funded in the near future. |

| Description | Neurofeedback Training in Golf |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | A talk or presentation |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Primary Audience | |
| Results and Impact | I have been invited to give a 90-minute lecture/seminar to members of the Professional Golf Association as part of their continuing professional development. The audience comprises practicing golf professionals are active coaches who are enrolled on the Advanced Certificate in Golf Coaching, a taught postgraduate course. In the lecture/seminar I will outline the importance of changes in cortical activity during preparation for the golf swing and how neurofeedback training might be used to improve learning and make performance robust under pressure. I will present my own research findings, including those coming out of the current project. |
