Characterising changes in the human motor cortex following burn injury
Associate Professor Ann-Maree Vallence co-Directs the Action and Cognition Research Group in the School of Psychology at Murdoch University. Ann-Maree’s research uses neurophysiological and applied behavioural measures to investigate sensorimotor control, learning, and cognitive function in healthy and clinical populations. Ann-Maree’s research has been funded by the Australian Research Council and the National Health and Medical Research Council. Ann-Maree was the Vice President for the Australasian Brain Stimulation Society (2018-2021) and was the Western Australian State Representative for the Australasian Neuroscience Society (2018-2019). In 2018, Ann-Maree was awarded a WA Young Tall Poppy Science Award.

Targeting neural network dysfunction for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
Professor Kate Hoy is a Clinical Neuropsychologist and head of Cognitive Therapeutics at the Bionics Institute. Over the last 15 years, she has built an internationally unique program of clinical research investigating non-invasive brain stimulation for the treatment of cognitive impairment. Prof Hoy’s depth and breadth of experience in the field of non-invasive brain stimulation is largely unparalleled, having worked with a variety of stimulation methods, diverse patient populations, and a wide range of research methodologies. Professor Hoy’s reputation as a leading clinical brain stimulation researcher is internationally recognised. She has received over $22M in funding to date (including as an Investigator on a $12M clinical trial network) and has published over 125 scientific journal articles. Professor Hoy is on the editorial board of Cortex and is the immediate past president of the Australasian Brain Stimulation Society.
